Sharing where we are up to with Lyn via Zoom

 

We were asked to present where we are up to at the moment - Updating the data wall.
We have moved to a larger room.
'Empowering' watermark added.
Sharratt quotes for inspiration and focus.
Summarising 2022 data on the data cards.
Placement of students based on present reality.
De-construction and colour coding of CrT progressions for deep understanding.
Adding student work samples to help teachers 'see' what the progressions look like.
Ensuring examples and elaborations align with the new version.
Drawing upon OECD and Education in 2030 disposition paper to explore the upper ends of the CrT progressions and what we want for our students.
Drawing upon Catholic World View to articulate our moral imperative as educators.

We shared with Lyn our experience with the Principals and Network leaders engaging in Learning Walks and Talks with our school. They affirmed in particular:
- How our K-2 teachers are finding ways to embed the work of the Learning Collaborative in the rollout of the new syllabus.
- The consistency of Learning Intentions and Success Criteria across the school.
- Evidence of BIU walls and goal setting in some classrooms.
- How the work has been extended into other KLA's such as Creative Arts.
We also explained our 2023 professional learning journey so far building upon 2022 and 2021.
Our road map before now looked like this:

Revising the Parameter 1 and 14

Image
 Staff were asked to re-reflect on  Parameter 1 and the shared beliefs and understandings articulated by Lyn Sharrat. We had completed this same activity 12 months earlier and wanted to gain a sense of where we were placed collectively. Staff were asked to give a rating from 1 to 10 to indicate how much they believed in each of the statements and were encouraged to give a reason as to why they believed what they did. These ratings and reasons were collected anonymously. Then redistributed. Staff then stood behind the chairs, reading out the rating and reason they had been handed.  The photo below indicates where staff now sit with the statement: All leaders, teachers and students can articulate what they do and why they lead, teach and learn the way they do. The photos below are the staff's reaction to: High expectations and early and ongoing intervention are essential. The photos below are of staff's reaction to: All teachers can teach to high standards given time and th...

Going back to the Data Wall

Image
The following staff meeting was presented by the Learning Collaborative team. Time was spent selecting students for the next CMM. Teachers completed a Chronicle entry using the Case Management Meeting template on Compass . There was also a d iscussion of support such as Drew’s time (Thursday 9:00am - 10:00am). His time can be booked to release staff for Learning Collaborative engagement and a timetable for purpose and booking was shared.  Kim Post shared how her time has been used by staff and announced her availability continues (Monday to Thursday 9:00am - 11:00am). Staff shared how she had modeled the unpacking of Learning Intentions, co-constructed Success Criteria with students, and coached teachers around the construction of BIU walls and anchor charts that support student learning. Moving forward, she might be utilised as an extra set of hands in training students how to use the wall and effectively find stars and stairs in their own and others work. This staff meeting high...

Establishment of the SAIP for 2024

Image
After reviewing data from the Tell Them From Me Survey, NAPLAN, the data wall movement concerning Learning Progressions, and the focus of every Case Management meeting in 2023 around sentence structure, it became evident that there was a significant need to focus on improving student outcomes in sentence formation. Based on these findings, the School’s Annual Improvement Plan (SAIP) for Learning and Teaching was set to center on this goal. The Learning and Teaching Action Team, in consultation with staff and the Learning Collaborative Team, developed specific actions to address this goal and agreed on measurable indicators of success. The team also sought support from the Catholic Schools Office, which provided guidance and supply of some professional learning, recognizing that other schools in the region were also prioritizing similar goals around writing and sentence structure. Despite positive trends in the Diocesan writing data, the school acknowledged that continued investment i...
