The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL Legislative Council Minister for Education Minister for Early Childhood Development LITERACY AND NUMERACY NATIONAL PARTNERSHIP The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Minister for Education, Minister for Early Childhood Development): The complete list of 55 schools that have benefit from the Literacy and Numeracy National Partnership (LNNP) and additional Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations funding is attached. The Group A schools have had a full time equivalent coach from August 2009 until the end on term 4 2010. It is intended to extend these positions in the 31 schools for term 1 2011 and a recruitment process is currently underway. Group B schools were the additional six DEEWR identified LNNP schools with separate total funding of $600,000 provided to place a coach from April 2010 to the end of term 4 2010 in those schools. Schools listed in brackets in this group are additional partner schools also receiving some benefit from the resource. Group C schools were identified by regional leadership as schools that would benefit from support from a coach. 18 of our existing coaches work for two days per week in these Partner Schools to extend the benefits of coaching from their initial school to a neighbouring school. It is hoped that this arrangement will stimulate cluster work on literacy and numeracy improvement.
