| We Provide:
Professional Development
Success for All is not another box of books. With at least 16
professional development days in the first year alone, Success for All
teachers, facilitators and leaders receive intensive support to make
certain implementation of the Success for All programme is successful.
Curriculum
Children through to Year Six learn to read and write by using a
research-based literacy curriculum, coupled with appropriate
co-operative learning strategies.
Nursery and Reception are served by an all day programme that meets the
requirements of the Curriculum guidance for the foundation stage.
8 Week
Assessments
This process provides an internal progress check quarterly for every
child. Assessment data is used to design appropriate interventions,
guide instruction and move pupils into higher reading levels ensuring
that no child is left behind.
One-to-One or
Small Group Tutoring
In SFA Literacy, one-to-one or small group tutoring is provided for
struggling children, especially those in years one and two. One of the
most effective educational interventions, tutoring is designed to
parallel and reinforce classroom literacy teaching for these children.
Classroom
Management
Teachers indicate that few discipline problems or occur during the SFA literacy block. Pupils are taught social problem
solving skills at the beginning of the year and teachers receive ongoing
training in proven classroom management practices.
Prevention and
Intervention
Every school establishes a Family Support Team that links pupils,
families, educators and community resources together. Their combined
forces and relentless focus support children's academic achievement.
Facilitator
A facilitator is designated by the head teacher to help the school staff
implement the programme. Working with SFA consultants, the facilitator
organises all staff development, monitors data from each 8 week
assessment and provides support and coaching to all teachers.
