Mapping+Tools

=Mapping Tools=

Upload your mapping tools designed to assist coaching partners to work out a way forward in their practice. Don't forget that the e5 resource can be very helpful for this - particularly the profile statements. Level 4 profile statements show quite clear links between the desired student learning and the associated teaching practices.

When you upload your mapping tool, give a short description of the student learning these teaching practices are designed to address - this will help others decide if you tool might also be relevant to them.

1. This tool helps you to map your literacy learning culture. We designed this with a group of principals in preparation for a regional literacy leadership program for principals.

2. Reading for Deep Understanding - we developed this tool from the Supported Literacy Framework for Adolescents. It links teacher practice and student learning plus gives you ideas for the type of evidence to consider to help a teacher locate where they are in relation to this landscape.

3. This tool was developed from the work of Heather Ridge and the Loddon Mallee team. It identifies a comprehensive range of foundational literacy elements. It is useful for P-12 teachers to identify how broad their teaching repertoire is in relation to instructional strategies.

4. Think Aloud Audit Tool - This adaptation of the Audit Tool is based on teacher practice on Teach Alouds as a means of improving student skills in interacting with the texts they are reading so their comprehension and problem-solving strategies are more effective.



I have used ideas from the Literacy Elements Audit above to develop this Reading Audit. I have used this audit with the grade 3 & 4 teachers I am currently coaching as we have had many new teachers in this level this year. **(Angela Savaglio, Dandenong South PS)**

Independent Reading Mapping Tool
My Junior School Team has been introducing independent reading. The mapping tool I have created relflects teaching stategies that can be used in the teaching of independent reading. I have used this mapping tool to help teachers reflect on current understandings and practice, and also to guide our future professional discussions and learning in this area. (Sarah Rhimes Aldercourt P.S.)




 * Peer Coaching Mapping Tool**

The mapping tool I have created is for the Grade 5 students and the teachers that are participating in the Beyond Buddy Reading Program. I have created this mapping tool to help the students and teachers reflect on our teaching practice and the students learning.

Reading Comprehension Mapping Tool A quick way to guage Teacchers current strategies, promote reflection & best practice. ( Jenni Surace, **Dandenong North** Primary)

We have been working on teaching a wider range of reading strategies in the 3-6 team to promote reading for deeper understanding. I created this mapping tool to allow teachers to monitor what strategies they are teaching and the procedures they are using to teach them for e.g. It has also been used as an anchor for discussions during PLT meetings. The strategies are taken from a handout in the resource section of the coaching folder and inspired by a PD I went on which was presented by David Hornsby. (Chanel Hicks - Athol Road P.S)
 * Reading Strategies Mapping tool**

I have developed this mapping tool for our early Years PLT who are investigating the use of inquiry writing as an approach to explicitly teach text types. The e5 page assists in teachers reflecting on their practice in this process. (Leslee Sullivan - Canadian Lead PS).

//**Peer coaching observation template.**// The Literacy coaches at my school (there are four of us) have developed this template for the pre-brief, observation and debrief for peer coaching. It focusses on the teacher's use of the Explicit Instructional Model (the model currently being introduced to all teaching staff at our school). We tried to make it easy for all participants to follow and give each a focus for their observation. The questions provided during the debrief section have been particularly helpful for teachers in providing positive and purposeful feedback. (Lisa Breen, Hume Central Secondary College)

Survey Tools Template and Results. We have introduced the Walker Learning Approach to the sPrep - 2 grades in the school and I led the team in implementing this approach. We were keen to have some data to see if we thought that this approach was improving student outcomes. Staff were surveyed in July and again in October as to how they thought the Walker Approach had improved the children's results and behaviours in a variety of areas and how their Professional growth had grown in many aspects of the Walker Learning Approach.

__**Key Characteristics of Effective Literacy Teaching P-6 Mapping Tool**__ As our school is currently undertaking a review of how reading is planned and taught across the school, I thought that it would be benifical for all staff to complete this mapping tool. From the information that is collected we can plan professional development to assist teachers in further enhancing their teaching practice. Melissa Wisniewski (Aldercourt Primary School)

This Mapping Tool was developed to use with our Year 3/4 team to identify the starting point for some Professional Learning sessions. The strategies are primarily taken from the Key Characteristics of Effective Literacy Teaching P-6 document as well some school based strategies that we are trying to develop further. Assessment strategies were also included as these are an important element in informing the teaching and learning that occurs. Annie Saunders - Camberwell South Primary School
