The Literacy and Numeracy Pilot in Low SES School Communities implemented in Victoria to improve literacy and numeracy outcomes for students from low socio-economic school communities formed part of the broader reforms in the Federal Government’s Smarter Schools: National Partnerships for Literacy and Numeracy, Low SES communities, and Teacher Quality. It was called “Implementing a cohesive, multi-faceted approach to improving literacy and numeracy outcomes in schools and networks” and was designed to address all five areas of reform identified by DEEWR using Victoria’s network initiative aimed at enabling the sharing of practices among networks of schools for improving student outcomes.
