SESSION 1

Background

State targets for performance in reading and numeracy for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 will be set in 2010 when three years of NAPLAN results are available. These targets will relate to performance from 2011 onwards.

The Deputy Director-General, Schools has requested that interim targets for 2009, 2010 and 2011 be set for: All students Students in PSP schools Aboriginal students

How are targets derived?The criteria for setting the targets for ‘all students’ and ‘students in PSP schools’ are based on the annual improvement rates included in Priority S4 of the State Priority Delivery Plan, using 2008 as the base year:

Reducing the proportion of students at and below the national minimum standard by 2.5% each year

Decreasing the proportion of students below the national minimum standard by 2.5% each year

Increasing the proportion of students above the state proficiency standard by 1.5% each year

They are clear, specific and concise statements that indicate what the consultant aims to achieve by the end of the intervention. Outcomes can be measured or evaluated through the collection of data or observation.
