LMA structure
The LMA has two main phases:
Phase I - Initial selection of learning media
Phase 1 typically starts around the age of four and continues up to the age of seven (or until the child has established literacy skills).
As you can see from the diagram Phase I has two Stages:
- Phase I Stage 1 - gathering data and making an initial selection.
- Phase I Stage 2 - confirmation of initial decision by use of further data gathering and analysis.
Phase II - Continuing assessment of learning media
Phase II involves continuous progress monitoring, assessment and review to determine the effectiveness of the medium the learner is currently using.
Gathering data
The LMA provides a set of forms that are designed to assist in the gathering and recording of information at the various stages of the process. These can be used to support reviews and decision making.
