Welcome to Raising Achievement - 
An organisation dedicated to supporting schools and parents to raise achievement for underachieving students.

 

New offerings for 2026:

​

Ministry-funded 2026 PLD

 

Structured Literacy Approaches

Cohort 8 Applications Open Now!

​

Do you have new staff that require training this year? Our facilitators work with small groups and tailor the programme to meet your needs.

 

Alongside Spectrum Education, Jenny Tebbutt delivers research and best practice that meets the needs of all learner types.
Strategies that work in classrooms with diverse learner needs -- for real New Zealand kids -- especially those who need Tier 2 and 3 support.

 

What makes our Structured Literacy approach different?

 

✅ Evidence-based – Grounded in the science of learning and the art of teaching.

✅ Practical – You’ll leave with tools you can use the next morning, not a manual gathering dust.

✅ Sustainable – We help you build routines that stick, long after the PLD day ends.

✅ Independent.

 

Because teaching isn’t about ticking boxes — it’s about transforming lives.

 

What teachers are saying:

 

“This course gave me the confidence to reach my struggling readers — and reminded me why I became a teacher.”

 

“Finally, PLD that speaks to both the heart and the brain.”

 

Explore our Structured Literacy PLD today and discover how you can meet every learner where they are.

Registrations close with the Ministry 6 March 2026 and you need to enrol with your provider by 25 March 2026.

Free Workshop -  Setting up for Success 2026
plus a free team or individual discovery call with Jenny

Tebbutt educational consultant

​

Let’s hit the ground running in Term 1 with an action plan to get

outcomes and accelerate achievement.

Would you:

• like to understand why some learners continue to underachieve despite intervention?

• like to have practical strategies and programmes for intervention?

• like to know exactly how structured literacy approaches help these students build literacy skills to read, write, and spell successfully?

• like to learn about literacy assessment to give data to target and intervention?

• like to understand how to meet the needs of students with dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, auditory and visual processing difficulties, and other learning differences?

​

If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, this FREE workshop is for you.

Led by Jenny Tebbutt, specialist educator and international educational consultant with over 25 years of experience.

Jenny is also an approved structured literacy facilitator working with Spectrum Education.
