Welcome to the Literacy Development Officers website. This site is for school leaders and others interested in finding out more about the work of Literacy Development Officers (LDOs).
LDOs assist school leaders in year 1–8 schools by providing strategic advice in literacy. This may include advice around such things as:
- the review of current school planning and practice in literacy
- analysing and using student achievement data
- target setting
- reporting to parents and the BOT
- resourcing decisions
- the role of the literacy leader
- the induction and mentoring of new staff.
LDOs do not provide professional development but they can support a school in making decisions as to what professional support may be required and then help to broker this assistance.
