English Enrichment Program
English Enrichment is ECC's literacy intervention program for those students who are reading two or more years below year-level expectations. Students in these classes require targeted and direct instruction to improve their reading and writing skills. This in turn builds their confidence and they experience success as readers and writers: a success and confidence that carries over to other subjects and other areas of their lives.
English Enrichment uses a Direct Instruction program called Corrective Reading. This is an accelerated reading program that builds letter sound recognition as well as recall and comprehension which allows students to become fluent, accurate and confident readers.
Students also receive explicit writing instruction in grammar, spelling and punctuation. They build their knowledge and understanding of sentence structure and language features. As students' progress through the program, they are supported in writing sustained narrative and persuasive texts with increasing independence.
Students are selected for placement in the program when they have demonstrated low literacy scores in NAPLAN and PAT-R testing and teacher judgement in English. Students are given a more detailed placement test which shows their reading levels within Corrective Reading.
In its fourth year of implementation at ECC, English Enrichment has allowed students to make considerable progress in a limited amount of time. The success of the program is evidenced by school and national testing data as well as the testimonies of students and parents.

Specialised Learning Program (SLP)
Specialised Learning Program (SLP) for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) supports the individual needs of students with ASD from Kindergarten to Year 12 who are at risk of disengagement, underachievement and/or significant difficulties with adaptive behaviour. This is a Department of Education Endorsed Specialised Program.
The program targets students who do not have an intellectual disability with a focus on year level or near year level academic engagement and achievement, organisational skills, social cognition development, positive peer relationships and emotional self-regulation.
Every student accessing an SLP has a position within the mainstream class/es of the school which they can integrate into when they are ready. The SLP have homerooms that the students spend time in when necessary. The amount of time that the students spend in the homeroom and mainstream will vary considerably. Some students may need to spend all their school day in the homeroom with the specialist staff and then start their integration into mainstream slowly through strength areas such as math or sport. Other students may only come into the homerooms for specific lessons on self-regulation or social skills VILS (Very Important Life Skills). Always individual need, driven by the outcome of successful mainstream inclusion, will determine the structure of each individual student's experience within the SLP.
Eaton Community College SLPASD is going into its fourth year of operation.
