Nationally Consistent Collection of Data for School Students with Disability (NCCD) Moderation Workshop

Description

PLEASE NOTE: This session has been moved to Telethon Speech and Hearing Centre due to high participant numbers and the time has been changed from to begin at 1.30pm (concluding at 4pm) Participation in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data for School Students with Disability (NCCD) is compulsory throughout Australia in 2017. This Moderation Workshop is designed to give key school personnel an increased level of confidence and consistency when collecting evidence and making decisions about student data for the NCCD. There will be a focus on decision-making for levels of adjustment, student inclusion in the NCCD, and collection and types of documentation to support school data. Who should attend? Key staff member/s at your school who have previously made (or are likely to in 2017) decisions about which students to include in the NCCD, and the level of adjustment allocated to each student. This may include Learning Support Coordinators, Psychologists, School Leaders, Teachers etc. If you are involved with students with disabilities at your school, including: collecting documentation, coordinating support, writing Individual Education Plans (IEP) and collating disability data, then you are welcome to attend. What to bring? Copies of de-identified documentation for 2-3 students who have been (or are likely to be) included in the NCCD. Documentation can be any evidence of adjustments that are currently being made for students (eg. IEP or other documented plans, minutes/notes from case meetings, information to teachers about strategies, information about special staffing, accommodations, withdrawal programs etc.) There is no set format for documents and no need to create or formalise documents that do not currently exist, so just bring what you have. It is important to remove/hide all information that can identify students in order to comply with privacy requirements. Please DO NOT bring sensitive diagnostic documents such as psychologist reports (you may bring a copy of the Recommendations page). Please DO NOT bring original documents without first making a copy.
