Victorian Literacy and Numeracy Statement
The Victorian Literacy and Numeracy Statement (PDF - 3.7Mb) was released on 14 December 2009. The Statement describes Victoria’s current approach to literacy and numeracy education. It clearly outlines a set of expectations about the roles and responsibilities of Victorian teachers and school leaders in supporting high quality literacy and numeracy education. The Statement also describes the strategies and initiatives provided by the system to support teachers and school leaders to carry out these roles and responsibilities. It is expected that this document will be a valuable reference and resource for school teachers, school leaders, regional network leaders and other regional personnel.
