Literacy

and

Numeracy

The context for literacy and numeracy improvement in further education.

"Literacy and numeracy skills are absolutely essential in order for young people to reach their potential whether they are planning to enter further or higher education or the employment market."

The National frameworks are aimed to enhance, strengthen and build on the language, literacy and numeracy capabilities of all students...

An ongoing challenge for all schools and colleges is to maintain a strong focus on literacy and numeracy education to ensure that every student has every opportunity for success.

Leighton Andrews AC/AM, Minister for Education and Skills, Raising School Standards (2011)

The

Strategy

  • The frameworks help bring about coherent approaches to developing literacy and numeracy across the curriculum
  • To build on the expectations set out in the skills framework, but it will be a statutory curricular requirement
  • Provide greater clarity for teachers to assess and track skills progression
  • Knowing the demands and embedding Literacy & Numeracy through all subjects

Pre-session testing

  • General learning & attitudes
  • Snapshot reading
  • Context reading
  • Context writing
  • basic maths/numerical test

Results from pre-session testing

  • Highlight learners with positive attitudes
  • Highlight learners with very strong literacy/numeracy skills

But...

  • Identifys the less able students
