<h2 class="intro">The Ministry of Education has reported the first tranche of Learning Support Coordinators (LSCs) are off to a strong start, assisting schools and kura to work with a broader range of students who need some level of additional support for their learning.</h2>
<p>Associate Minister of Education Jan Tinetti released an evaluation report on progress with implementation of 623 LSCs, during an event at Newlands Intermediate in Wellington on March 18.</p>
<p>She says the report shows great results so far, with LSCs also proving to be a great support for learners’ whānau, and teachers in the classroom &#8211; in particular beginner teachers.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the ministry’s Deputy Secretary of Sector Enablement and Support, Katrina Casey, will this week host two online forums for principals with an LSC in their school, kura or cluster. </p>
<p>The forums will cover progress with implementing this new role since January last year, as well as a focus on the future. Ms Casey will also answer questions from principals about the role and <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://www.schoolnews.co.nz/2015/10/developing-opportunities-at-school-with-a-view/" title="opportunities" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" target="_blank">opportunities</a> for refinements.</p>
<p>The forum series includes a learning and development workshop next week for all LSCs, with Minister Tinetti to give a keynote address.</p>
<p>Last week around 150 LSCs, appointed since the first regional induction forums early last year, zoomed into Mātauranga House for learning and development sessions.</p>
<p>An on-line exhibition space is also part of the events on offer till the end of March, which includes educational videos and other PLD resources.</p>
