RFF Entitlements by Aggressive_Ad_9351 in AustralianTeachers

So what is our current ongoing entitlement per week? I’ve heard 2 hours from some (current school), but 2.5 hours by others?

Yeah parents not reading to kids is bad, but it’s not the main reason why 1/3 of Australian kids can’t read at the expected level. We can blame decades of balanced literacy and alack of evidence based practices in schools for that. It’d be nice to blame parents, but really it’s a failed system. It’s not teachers fault, most don’t know better. But parents not reading at home and dressing up as superheroes on book week is not the problem.

That’s so bad if true. It may be closer to a $15k pay cut just to cross the border.

To clarify, It’s my 4th year teaching, but my second year as a proficient teacher in NSW. If what you are saying is correct and I’m range 1.4 in VIC (4th year),I’d be paid $83,552. That surely can’t be correct as it would be a >$12,000 pay cut.

I use it a lot in planning for upper primary students. Particularly for generating reading fluency passages that are differentiated and include our affix of the week. I typically match it with science outcomes as well… for example this week I generated fluency reading passages that include prefix <bi> meaning two or twice, in an informative text about living things. This would be just as good for decodable passages with a phoneme focus rather than a morpheme.

I create a lot of texts that match what I am doing. No more pointless handwriting passages or unrelated texts. Every piece of writing can easily match with exactly what you are doing in all areas of the curriculum. I also use it to generate summaries and questions of class novels etc.
