  4. Getting Staff onside – HISTORY WALK

  5. Students were involved all the way – DI Analysis

  6. VISION Care…Engage…Excel

  7. BELIEFS We believe • POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS are the key to success. • In the INDIVIDUAL OWNERSHIP of learning. • In striving for PERSONAL BEST and CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE.

  8. SCHOOL WIDE PEDAGOGY • Respect • Achievement • Collaboration • Engagement • Relevance • How do we get these planks of SWP (or Principles of Teaching and Learning) fully integrated across the school? • How do we sustain their use?

  11. Overall School Goal By the end of 2010 we will be seeing teachers visiting each other’s classrooms and providing support for instructional practice, indicated by the extent of: • Cooperative learning • Sharing best practice • Collaboration and teamwork • Improvement in literacy and numeracy standards

  12. TARGETS • By Semester 2, 90% of staff has incorporated at least two Cooperative learning tactics in programmes of work. • By the end of Semester 1, all teaching staff will have visited two other teachers’ classrooms with a focus on instructional strategies (one visit within their own Learning Area and one visit outside their Learning Area)

  13. The DI was done again in August 2009 to gather evidence concerning the success of the IDEAS program. Below is a summary of the main improvements and areas of weakness. • Overall, there has been a VERY SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT in the school based on this data. • Scores of 3.20 or less indicate challenges. • Scores of 3.70 and above indicate successes.

  14. Significant Improvements from 2006-2009(the mean for these increased by 0.30 or more on a scale of 1-5)

  15. Significant Improvements from 2006-2009(the mean for these increased by 0.30 or more on a scale of 1-5)

  16. Outcomes Needing Attention (below 3.20)

  17. Average Scores Across Each Major Outcome

  18. Average Scores Across Each Major Outcome • This clearly shows there is an improvement in EVERY outcome, although Infrastructure is lagging. It is important to realise that we deliberately avoided work in the Infrastructure area to concentrate on where the main challenges for teaching and learning lay – Strategic Foundations, 3-DP and Professional Support.

  19. The Ed. Dept of WA “School Accountability and Improvement Framework” lists five (5) areas of focus for effective school operations:

  20. Things We Do How we link SWP to the Classroom • Co-operative Learning • Focus Groups – mixed Learning Areas • Classroom visits – in own Learning Area • Classroom visits – in other Learning Area • Whole school PD based on classroom practices • Instructional Intelligence • Parallel Leadership roles – eg: run PD • PD for teacher leaders • Student ISMT – class groups working on posters, run assembly

  21. Things We Do • Reflective practices – common planning template for programs in all Learning Areas • Coaching/mentoring • Posters in classrooms – student productions • Classroom Management Strategies – pursued at PD and in Focus Groups • Building a Professional Learning Community – use of Skilful Conversations at all times • HOLAs/TICs taking the lead – School Plan, videoing classroom methods

  22. Other Bits • 2011 – Yr 8 subject added to curriculum based on Respect, Achievement and Collaboration. • 18 different teachers (not Administration) have run school PD on SWP during the last 3 years. More lined up! • Promoting the school – use RACER. eg; School Booklet. • Professional Learning Booklet - all teachers. • Principal MUST be on side and involved.
