My Reflections fron our first CoL PLG - Where I am heading too in 2023

Achievement Challenge 3: To lift achievement in Reading for all students, with a particular focus on boys and Maori (both genders)

I'm going into this Achievement Challenge by enhancing whānau engagement I will measure this in two ways:
  • Teacher capability to engage with our whānau.
  • Measure the level of engagement of whānau with their child's learning and progress in Reading.

The areas to investigate are ...
  • What are the capability levels of our teachers, and how I can have an impact on supporting teachers to build their capability.
  • Measure the level of engagement of our whānau through the Kotahi Whānau Tool and other ways to record this data.

Across our Cluster, our data is showing that the rate of progress is slower as learners move up the color bands of where their expected reading levels should be.

School Data...

Another view is from School Talk over all levels for reading levels

Beginning of Term 1 Hub 2 Y1/2 Learners' overall reading levels. 



How can I engage with Whanau and support my colleagues to raise student Achievement in Reading? The graph below shows the Data from Beginning Term 1 2023 Hub 2 at Stonfields School Y1/2 Learners. Engaging whānau with what this data means for their child and how we can support them to help their child with continuing to make a steady rate of progress is the key element to change. This is the impact I would like to have this year.

Inquiry Summary - Burst and Bubbles 2022

My child loves reading, but writing is so much harder for them. I can teach reading, but not writing. They are just not interested in writing  If they don’t know a word should I tell them or do I let them guess? Kia ora, Great to be back here to share my 2022 Inquiry. whānau voice is asking us to partner alongside to help them support their child in writing,  The data collected from earlier this year, EASTle, Overall Teacher Judgements, Gap Analysis in School Talk, Our school-wide data, and tracking attitude and confidence show there is a dip in progress and learners are not making the expected rate of shift or are below standard in writing. I saw this as an opportunity to strengthen relationships and educate whanau on how to help their child at home.  I led a parent writing workshop to upskill them on how we use the LP and to engage their child in writing. We unpacked writing samples to notice what is happening to their child. At Whānau day learners shared their writing success and ne

The tool measures the level of agency learners have to take ownership of their learning and make informed decision with the tools and strategies they use.  The survey will provide us with detail so we can evaluate the progress over time and the shifts we need to make. It will provide us with information to make adjustments to our learning design and deliberate acts of teaching.  We have standardised tests to access reading, writing and maths. We have designed a survey to provide us with more standardised and comparative data the focuses on the soft skills for example growing collaboration.  The soft skills that are measured are Reliance/determination Self Aware Take Action Using Tools and Strategies Collaboration' Assessment Capable The 6 Agency capabilities are representative of across school CoL goals and come out of our Stonefields School signature practices....
