printPLD are often asked to provide support and feedback on tracking sheets. As this is a complimentary service, and one that we are happy to provide to schools implementing PLD, we ask that tracking sheets be sent through in the recommended format. PLD receives hundreds of queries, requests, and calls for support and if every tracking sheet was not completed to the standard PLD requests, the consultants are repeating information that is provided within the manuals and support videos.
At a minimum, before requesting support from PLD, please ensure you have:
Step 1: View the PLD Website Tracking Sheets Support Videos
- Watch: Using the PLD Tracking Sheets & the 3 Functions Required
- Watch the video relevant to your year level:
Step 2: Do the Tracking Sheets Communicate the 3 Targeted Teaching Groups for the Upcoming Term
- Cluster students together to form three groups: View the videos above and the relevant downloadable screening and tracking manual).
- Set a learning focus for each group for targeted teaching for the term ahead. Refer to the relevant downloadable teaching sequence manual, as well as our Teacher Tips on our YouTube channel. Go to this article to access the Term 4 Teaching Tips, as well as links to the other term’s tips. These will give targeted learning foci for the typical range in ability.
Step 3: Cross-Check the Tracking Sheets Against the Examples in the Screening & Tracking Manuals
- Download the Early Years Screening & Tracking Manual and go to p.4 to see the three targeted teaching groups with “like” students clustered together.
- Download the Foundation Screening & Tracking Manual and go to p.4 to see an example of the three targeted teaching groups (“like” students clustered together) and the learning foci (denoted in blue & bold text above the groups).
- Download the Year 1 & 2 Screening & Tracking Manual and go to p.7 to see examples of the three targeted teaching groups (“like” students clustered together) and the learning foci (denoted in blue & bold text above the groups).
- Download the Year 3, 4, 5 & 6 Screening & Tracking Manual and go to p.7-8 to see examples of the three targeted teaching groups (“like” students clustered together) and the learning foci (denoted in blue & bold text above the groups).
- Hidden the columns with the previous term’s data. Unsure how to do this? Watch Using the PLD Tracking Sheets & the 3 Functions Required.
