NCCD Moderation Workshop (Morning)

Description

In 2015, all Independent Schools in Western Australia participated in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data for School Students with Disability (NCCD). Participation in the 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 2015) 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. Please remove or hide information that can identify individual students.
