Ask yourself these 2 questions
• What function does the cluster have for you?• What function do you have for the cluster?
….and park your thoughts till later
Purposes of this mornings session
Where are we?What do we do already?What do we need to do differently?Are we effective?
Desired Outcome: informing our practice / reviewing our practice
Inquiry cycle (Timperley et al., 2007)
What are the cluster’s desired educational outcomes?
What actions are in place to achieve them?
How have we been doing?
Every child will shift
Raised student achievement –
Meeting national standards – exceeding/ accellerate / achieve/progress – what it looks like
Developing effective teaching strategies & practices
Knowing what effective practice is – who and when.
Shared strength of the collective – work as a collective ( strength and weaknesses used ( M.Fullen collective responsibility and enquiry)
Tracking student achievement within schools /
Engaged in a pd programme. Familiarisation of nationl standards. BECSI programme. Cluster review begun with use of evaluative tool.
Recognised need for external expertise.
Moving towards / to focus on teacher practice as well as student achievement as evidence
Progress momentum achieved: base line Year 7 reading the highest ever 2010. Writing is low overall
(Park issues raised)
Inquiry cycle (Timperley et al., 2007)
What are our PD needs in order to achieve our outcomes?
Develop guiding principle around formative practice ( Develop The K.lit way) – Collective key principles and concepts – Formative practice.
Continue Murray’s PD with teacher observations – process and protocols.
PD focus on effective use of Learning conversations and gathering and using student voice to shift practice
How to gain best practice in overall teacher judgement – multiple sources of evidence.
Collective moderation of student work / teacher practice
Reading and writing links- explicit links between the two.
Park any issues raised
Inquiry cycle (Timperley et al., 2007)
What role does the principal / lead teacher play in the PD and learning?
Participating and Contributing: Resourcing and making time available
K.Lit Way in each charter and targets ( involve BOT)
Attendance of and leading;
staff meeting feedback sessions
PD sessions
K.Lit meetings
and commitment to the K.Lit Way. (Carrying the flame)
Feedback to the cluster in a timely way – data presented in a way in which it has been asked for ( USE the TEMPLATE)
Keeping the focus – support – motivation – momentum
Strat – annual – charter – targets – perf. Appraisal all link back to the K.Lit Way.
Spreading the word ( The K.Lit Way):
Wiki use and promotion for all staff / BOT
Review and moderation:
Establishing agreed next steps at the conclusion of each meeting – setting up follow us session for staff meeting feedback
Is that happening currently? ( park any issues)
Inquiry cycle (Timperley et al., 2007)
Are our students engaged in new learning?
Do we know? Our biggest challengeSort of
How do we know: ( not consistent across the cluster)
Student voice –Peer and self assessment
Walk throughs
Self reflections / teachers and students
Student work – tasks ( OTJ)
Park issues raised
Deepening of professional knowledge and skills
Teachers
L. teachers
Principals
Rattling existing theories and practices
Use of evidence effectively to justify practice and discard practice
Use of the Leadership BES and all other BESs
- Unpacking the BES
Making the links between:
Ka hikitia - National Statements( NS. LLP, NZC)
ELPs and Numeracy framework and the K.Lit WAY
Facing and dealing with challenge and change
Park issues raised
What has been the impact of work so far?
What impact do we want for 2010
So Far:Self sustaining
Attracting new schools to the cluster
Shifting focus as time goes on.
PD and Learning – use of external expertise ( recognising that you need it)
Strengthened the network of schools in the Far North
2010:Induction in to the K.Lit way ( via the wiki and buddy in school??)
Using the BECSI work / involvment to influence our practice / review our practice
MOU possibility
Networking – clustering
Reporting to parents - strengthening
parked IssuesFeeding back to staff / staff aware of what is happening in the cluster / meetings
Longitudinal tracking of students over time
Writing has slipped while reading is progressing.
How does our practice align with the leadership BES – PD and Learning – roles of leaders.
PD content/ resources might have been used…..
BUT have the strategies been imbedded??? Not sure they have
Do we need to change our Name – to cover lit / numeracy ( effective teaching – formative practice instead of specific learning areas)
Notify update – wiki to all

What are our next steps
Are we using all the evidence available to inform our practice / review our practice?
Evidence currently available to us
School ERO reports – to identify cluster commonalities
BECSI feedback reports + Evaluative tool findings
Student achievement: cluster/ school / class
Teacher observations – shifts in practice
Student voice – shifts in teacher practice
Are we using our meetings effectively?
Meetings now 2 per term
Structure9.00 -11.00 PD delivery by Team Solutions ( Principals and L.T)11.30 – 3.00 PD Delivery by Lead team + Team Solutions (L.T)
Planning of K.Lit meetings, content and delivery
Who? When? What? How?
Dissemination of information from K.Lit meetings, PD and Learning to schoolsWhat? How? How often?Planning staff meeting follow up sessions.Have we got the same key messagesHow will you know you are having an impact in your school / cluster?
Summing up
• Look at our vision – does that match our understanding? K.Lit Vision 2010.doc• Are we clear about our – roles and responsibilities? What jobs need to be done who
is going to do them?
• 2010 – 2011 PD plan- have we now got enough for LT to plan PD content this afternoon? Feedback to Team Solutions what it is we need / want?
• Meeting structures and content – are we happy with the changes?
• Who will be the lead team working with the PD provider? Fixed or revolving?

Planning the PD content for Team Solutions and lead team to deliver
Collecting and using high quality data
The inquiry cycle and student achievementIn this cycle, there are two main points where school leaders and teachers can
use student achievement data to enhance their inquiry.1.When asking “What are our students‘ learning strengths and learning needs?” *Data collection, analysis and use at this point of the cycle will support
teachers and school leaders as they develop appropriate teaching programmes to meet their students‘ needs.
2.When asking “What has been the impact of our changed actions?” *Data collection, analysis and use can support teachers and school leaders
to monitor the effectiveness of their teaching programmes.
Thus the emphasis on analysing and using data should always be on supporting teachers and school leaders to become better inquirers to that they can improve their own practices and student learning.
What data should schools collect?
The 40-20-40 rule is useful for planning what data to collect
(Robinson & Lai, 2006):
• 40% of a school‘s time deciding the focus for data collection; what data to collect and how to collect necessary data
• 20% of a school‘s time data collection and preliminary analysis
• 40% of a school‘s time making sense of the data, further analysis
and conclusions
When asking ‘What has been the impact of our changed actions’
Schools collect achievement data over time
……along with data on teacher and leadership practices,
• How does this help them to evaluate the effectiveness of their teaching and school programmes?
Are we doing this as part of our practice?
Linking Changes in Achievement to School and Classroom Programmes
• The process of analysing data to check the impact of the changed teaching and school practices requires teachers and school leaders to ask themselves whether the changes have resulted in the intended improvements.
• If achievement has improved as intended, what practices worked successfully and what is the evidence that these practices were the ones that worked?
• If achievement has not improved what might the reasons be and what is the evidence for these reasons?
(eg. It may be that the teaching programmes did not work as intended because there was insufficient professional learning to support teachers to understand how to implement the teaching programme.
The EVIDENCE for this might be from discussions with teachers about the programme (eg. Teachers indicate that there were gaps in their pedagogy and requested further professional learning) and / or from feedback from others (eg school leaders observing classrooms and talking to teachers post-observation see the gaps in teacher pedagogy).
The focus here is on teachers and school leaders learning about their own effectiveness.
Key questions for review
• Are we making a difference to student learning and achievement? And, if we are making a difference to student learning and achievement how can we sustain improvements made and the practices that led to those improvements?
Table 3. Deciding what data to collect
Questions for review
Key questions
1. Have we collected all the necessary data required at student, classroom (e.g., teaching practices) and school (e.g., decisions about programme implementation) level to diagnose students‘ learning needs and to evaluate our teaching programmes?
2. Are our decisions on what data to collect based on the following principles (see Section 1.2):
Data to be collected - provides valid and reliable information about students‘ learning
needs, and the effectiveness of teaching and learning - includes data on classroom and school practices - provides evidence of sustainable outcomes for students and
teachers
Moderation
1. Have we established clear criteria that all teachers understand for marking the assessment?
2. Do teachers know and understand how to apply the marking criteria to students‘ work?
3. Is there a process to check and resolve differences in scoring?
Databases
1. Does our database allow us to easily collate the data we need for analysis?
2. How are we collating and storing data about classroom and school practices over time?
3. Are we recording achievement information alongside other important variables that we intend using to analyse achievement information (e.g., whether a student has participated in the intervention)?
4. Have we set up a database that allows us to match students over time and to compare these with absent / transient students?
5. Have we established sufficient quality assurance checks on the information in the databases? a. Check for accuracy b. Check for missing data
6. Do we need to call in expertise to check that our database meets our needs?
Analysis at start of inquiry cycle
1. Have we run sufficient analyses on our data to understand where students are in relation to an agreed reference point (e.g., National standards in reading, writing and mathematics, national norms)? (see Table 1 for the analyses you should consider running)
2. Have we checked how different groups of students in our school - whole school, classroom, important subgroups e.g., ethnicity - are performing?
3. Have we developed a system for diagnosing students‘ strengths and learning needs? (e.g., relationship between different learning needs, students‘ misconceptions and errors)
4. Have we linked the achievement information to information about classrooms and schools in order to understand what the teachers and leaders need to learn to support students?
Analysis to evaluate teaching programmes
1. Have we analysed the rate of gain compared to the expected rate of gain? (see Table 2 for the analyses you should consider using)
2. Have we analysed the rate of gain for different student groups in the school (whole school, classroom, important subgroups e.g., ethnicity)?
3. Have we analysed the achievement levels in our school to ensure that the gains made are resulting in achievement that is closer to what is desired?
4. Have we checked that the gains in achievement is a ‗real‘ change or whether the change could have happened by chance (e.g., the means at Time 1 and 2 are so close there is no real difference between them)?
5. Have we linked the achievement information to information about classrooms and schools in order to evaluate what we need to change to improve student learning?
6. Have we checked for improvements in student learning foci? (e.g., whether the intervention focus on vocabulary has impacted vocabulary achievement)
Complete a deeper analysisGeneral consensus that we needed to go deeper if we wanted to make accelerated progress
Complete a deeper analysisGeneral consensus that we needed to go deeper if we wanted to make accelerated progress
Or
• cluster becoming • disengaged• data improving but not accelerated
• cluster becoming • disengaged• data improving but not accelerated
• outside expert to get us out of a rut• problem based methodology • interesting beliefs surfaced
Either
• different way of working• need to pick up the pace• better connects between school and cluster
• new way of working• lead team (provider included) learning groups• sharper focus of writing
