  8. SSE and SIP School Improvement Plan Teaching & Learning Student Well Being

  9. School Self Evaluation • Tracking programme - continued from previous year • Gathering Data • Student / Parent / Teachers • Focus on First Years (iPad project) • Focus on 2nd Years • Results fed into our SSE Report • What we learned

  10. SSE Summary Strengths • Student performance in standardised tests indicate that both literacy and numeracy levels are generally above national norms • Students perform well above the national averages in State Examinations • Students are positively disposed to reading and are open to new ideas and initiatives • Teachers are positively disposed to the SSE process • Teachers have completed significant CPD in areas such as AFL, Differentiated Learning techniques and report positive feedback when trialling these techniques in the classroom

  11. SSE Summary Areas for Improvement Areas for Improvement • Increase participation in Literacy initiatives such as Drop Everything and Read, Book in the Bag, Book Club, Library lending. • Increase participation in maths for Fun initiatives Learner Outcome • Establish academic tracking model for Literacy and Numeracy. This will enable meaningful target setting for individual students and will enable timely intervention to address/explain underperformance by each student.

  12. Teacher Practice • Improve awareness and understanding of standardised test scores among teachers. • Improve communication of the import of these results to teachers and parents • Establish whole school responsibility for target setting, progress monitoring and implementation of intervention strategies • Improve monitoring of progress using tracking system above [or refined version, after consultation with staff, esp. Literacy Core team and English department] • Ensure whole school approach to Literacy Programme using relevant aspects of Literacy Policy by each subject department • Embed new teaching approaches such as AFL – with clearly explained objectives and success criteria so that all staff have clarity of purpose

  13. SSE Summary Parental awareness: • Communicate more effectively with parents – they are unaware of efforts being made to improve literacy Data Gathering: • While a significant number of surveys have been conducted, some were unfocused and too broad. In future, it will be necessary to design more targeted questionnaires which yield specific data on the issue at hand. This should enable more meaningful analysis and assist in devising future plans.
