 * Uses an action learning process ie: provides a plan with clear goals and targets and with action steps to address the identified need
 * Includes critical reflection on teachers’ current classroom practice
 * Is consistent with the theoretical basis of the Archdiocesan Literacy and Numeracy Position
 * Embraces the use of ICLT / multiliteracies.


 * //In order to complete your application, consider the following guiding questions: //**

What is your area of concern? How reading is taught and why it is more than reading the right words on the page (sight words, sounding out, etc) to become better at understanding the text and developing good reading comprehension.

· Why is it of concern? Focussing highly on sightwords in early years at present Poor reading comprehension and understanding of text

· What data do you have to justify this focus – qualitative, quantitative, research?  · What open ended question/s do you want to answer by doing action research? How do I better teach reading. What experiences make a better reading comprehender? How do I provide these in my classroom · How is your project consistent with the theoretical basis of the Archdiocesan Literacy and Numeracy position?  · How will you measure improvement or change related to your focus? <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;"> Through assessing and monitoring reading through PROBE <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;"> Does my planning improve students reading  <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">Students show reading comprehension that aligns with their reading level and continues to devlop alongside their reading decoding skills. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;"> · <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">Is your project focused on improving classroom teacher practice?
