Composite or Combined Foundation / Year 1 Classes and the Combined PLD Tracking Sheets

For teachers who have Foundation/Year 1 composite class, your tracking sheets are a little bit different.


The differences


The goal of the combined sheets is to make tracking easier for these teachers. However, this does mean the recording of screening results is a little different.


You can see that the Foundation/Year 1 tracking sheet __does not have the columns to record both mid-term and end-of- term assessment. __

Tracking Sheet Differences


How do I assess Foundation in a composite class?


  • Week 1 of Term 1 Year 1 classes will be provided with the spelling placement test, but for the Foundation students, they are not screened until week 6.


  • However, from the week Week 10 assessments, both year levels can be assessed simultaneously.


  • For the Foundation students, it is still recommended that teachers would still be expected to assess in Week 6 of Term 2 (but this information would not need to be added to the tracking sheets).


Note: In from week 10 in Terms 1, 2 and 3 the Foundation & Year 1 students can be assessed on the same schedule.
