Targeted Literacy and Numeracy Intervention – Small Group Learning

Delivering small group learning in secondary settings

Through the implementation of the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model 2.0, all students in Victorian government schools will receive high-quality evidence-based instruction within their classrooms. For students who need additional support with general classroom instruction, tailored instruction within a small group is provided.

The Middle Years Literacy and Numeracy Support (MYLNS) initiative provides an intense booster of targeted intervention for students in year 10. The MYLNS chapter provides guidance for secondary schools on how to deliver small group learning for students requiring additional support for these students. Interventions at Year 10 are critical to ensure students have the essential literacy and numeracy skills necessary for them to be able to successfully complete senior secondary education and to achieve their goals related to future work, education or training.

Includes information on delivering small group learning with the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model 2.0 and Middle Years Literacy and Numeracy Support initiative.
