Allocation
The allocation of Learning Support Funding:
- is linked to the need identified by the RTLB data gathering process
- occurs in the context of a conversation between RTLB and the school - with an application for LSF coming from that conversation
- is responsive - with regular referral and allocation meeting
Professional practice
RTLB will:
- share innovative ways of using the LSF within and across clusters
- choose interventions that up-skill teachers and that minimise reliance on Teacher Aides
- collaboratively set clear goals
- collect pre- and post-measures that demonstrate the effectiveness of the intervention
- monitor the use of Learning Support Funding
