Data Days equip Hub Leads and Literacy Specialists to plan effective data-driven Literacy Specialist days. The RMT trainer shares expert programme knowledge to:   

  • analyse data and agree agendas with partner schools

  • agree assessment, practice and coaching actions  
  • coach on the activities that will make the biggest difference
  • provide solutions for schools causing concern 
  • prepare for the Phonics Screening Check 
  • make effective use of the Online Subscription.  
 
Each Data Day includes a follow-up Action Plan and half-termly progress data.

LS Live – bespoke Literacy Specialist training

In our annual survey, Literacy Specialists asked for advanced face-to-face-training in four key areas:  

  • teaching pupils with SEND  
  • assessment for accuracy and fluency  
  • practice and coaching  
  • responsive teaching of the activity steps.  

 

Choose two of the above areas. Hubs are welcome to join up for the training.

Your feedback

“Data Days are an invaluable way to ensure we really ‘dig deep’ into what the data picture is and what this means for each of the individual partner schools that we support. The RMT trainers are incredibly skilled and knowledgable and ensure that we fully understand each assessment point and what we need to do next to keep moving children through the programme.”
