CONCEIVE ENGAGE BELIEVE BUILD ACHIEVE

The West Coast Language Development Centre is a specialist service in the area of oral language and associated literacy that provides direct intervention for students with Specific Language Impairment in K-1 as well as the provision of support to mainstream primary schools.

The West Coast Language Development Centre, Early Direct Intervention, Outreach, Research and Development Services make an important contribution to teaching and research in the area of speech, language and its impact on the acquisition of literacy. The synergism and cohesion among service delivery, teaching and research leads to changes in classroom practice. As knowledge increases, ‘best practices’ are identified, and service needs are recognised within the centre and across mainstream schools.

The services of the West Coast Language Development Centre engage in the provision of high quality, differentiated, flexible, practical support to schools and their communities to develop practices and programs that accelerate and maximise learning outcomes for students with speech, language and literacy needs. This is underpinned by the moral imperative that all students can learn, including students with language difficulties, delays, disorders or impairments.

Service Provision

The West Coast Language Development Centre works at the system, network, individual school, leadership, teacher and student level to provide high quality services in speech, language and associated learning that are based on current best practice evidence.

The services build on from each other and include:

1. Direct services for studentsThe WCLDC provides an early, intensive intervention service for students with identified Specific Language Impairment in the north metropolitan region (coastal strip).

2. Outreach ServiceThe Outreach Service responds to the distinctive needs of public primary schools with a focus on improving speaking, listening and literacy learning for students with language difficulties, differences and disorders.

The emphasis is on sustainable capacity building of teacher, school and system to deliver high quality learning opportunities. Services include:

• Delivery of workshops through the General and Resources Series.

• School based services. • The Key Language Leadership Program.

3. Research and Development The service conducts and supports the research, development and trialling of evidence based practices for speech, language and associated literacy by establishing collaborative partnerships with schools and universities.

Path

The Critical Learning Path should be utilised in the context of the Australian English Curriculum. The purpose of the Critical Learning Path is to articulate the critical skills that underpin the content descriptors and elaborations of the Australian Curriculum. It provides support toteachers as they make decisions about what and how to teach at an individual, group and class level. The document also enables schools to develop cohesive, connected approaches to curriculum delivery and student learning.

The Critical Learning Path provides a guide that supports the monitoring of teaching and learning as it unpacks critical skills in some detail and

in a sequential order that reflects the developmental route taken by the average learner from kindergarten to year six. This detail is linked to the Australian Curriculum English content descriptors and Early Years Framework. It is organised under the essential English skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing with critical subskills of each area mapped to enable teachers to target, monitor and adapt their teaching and learning more precisely.

The KAT package consists of several dynamic common assessment tasks that enable a teacher to collect baseline data in oral language and emergent literacy skills during the kindergarten year. The assessment activities inform teacher judgement and allow for differentiated goal setting at a whole class, small group & individual level. Some tasks are designed for all students and others target students that may be at risk. To assist judgements, ages and stages information is included for teacher reference. Individual subtests of the KAT can be used strategically and systematically by teachers across the school year according to the needs of the class. There is flexibility in when subtests are administered and in the order of subtests selected.

Leadership Program

This series focuses on developing the capacity of teachers to improve the language/literacy outcomes of students in their schools with a focus on students at language risk. The service integrates current language development theory and research with the principles of best practice in teaching oral language and how this impacts on literacy. Participants learn to assess and analyse language and are provided with practical strategies for addressing identified needs.

The Key Language Leadership Program runs over 2 years with six days of professional learning in the first year and 4 half days in the second. The series has a strong action learning component, so there is an expectation that participants will undertake some additional reading and trial many of the assessments and activities between sessions. The training also encourages participants to reflect on their teaching practice, develop their leadership and mentoring skills and establish networks. Opportunities to identify, plan and report on school based initiatives will be provided throughout the series, helping to develop the leadership skills of the participant.

The training includes the following oral language modules:• Introduction and Overview• Syntax (Grammar) • Semantics (Vocabulary)• Narrative• Comprehension• Links to Literacy - Phonological Awareness and

Phonics• Links to Literacy - The Language of Spelling

Each of the modules includes theory, strategies and resources. Participants are provided with recommended assessments, and learn how to analyse and set goals using the data. There are opportunities to reflect on current practice and link planning for teaching and learning programs to suit diverse learning needs, including ideas for classroom organisation. Participants receive significant resources in print and on a usb.

These include:• Narrative - I Tell it! book • Semantics - Word Connections: Semantic Intervention Pack• Phonological Awareness - Rainbow Assessment Tool and Intervention Pack• Synthetic Phonics - Lesson Structure and Resources• Comprehension - Strategies

On completion of the course there is the opportunity for past participants to continue to engage through a Connect community, network meetings and continued support from the West Coast LDC Outreach Service.

Who: Teachers and administrative staff who have an interest in language and literacy development linked to diverse learning needs. These teachers also need to be seen as current or future leaders in your school.When: 8 full days of Professional Learning over two yearsCost: $495 (gst inclusive)

School Based Services

While all schools requesting a service will be allocated a Support Officer, to manage the workload in the context of the number of schools requesting new or ongoing support, we prioritise schools (in terms of time availability) on the following basis:

Priority 1 Schools: Schools with a strong commitment to leadership development and a high level of involvement in assessment for learning, resource series and research and development. Disadvantaged and/or ERG’d schools that have a focus on building in-school leadership capacity.

Priority 2 Networks: Schools wishing to work across their networks in a connected, cohesive way linked to building and sharing capacity in the area of oral language, the links to literacy and the impact of disorder or disadvantage.

Priority 3 Schools: Schools that have a focus on building in-school specialised leadership capacity and sharing that capacity in the area of oral language, the links to literacy and the impact of disorder or disadvantage.

Priority 4 Schools: Schools that have not identified in school leadership as a focus for capacity building.
