Analysing your Current Situation for Collective advantage

(Brian Annan)

Context-specific trends

A new future - New structure for connected schools - or same old, same old?

How do you make sure it's not flipped? (see graphic)

Understandning the busy-ness of people's lives

A shift in focus - how do we frame the type of learning that the kids want to get involved in?

Learning is the entire community - not just kids

Achievement Challenge Documents:

early days of AC documents = what do we need to fix?
Now - what is important for all students to learn?

What is pur story? How will we take agency?

Early days:
  • Achievement challenges, maths, ready and writing
  • Qualtitive data - need to move 5% of our Māori boys, etc
  • Pre-set goals and strategies
  • We know that this is entrirely boring - need to move hardder and longer

Second phase:
  • Links between learning challenges and underlying factors
  • quantitative and qualititative data
  • process towards co-constructed strategies

(see Golder Bay Achievement Challenges)

Third Phase - more recent:
  • Links between learning concepts
  • weaving together local to global learning trends
  • Strategising negotiated with  community collaborators and supports set up by strategic leaders (not done by original designers - Principals not responsible for creating strategies)
(See Pupuke Kāhui Ako Learning Framework - if work on KCs, wellbeing, community engagement - achievement will improve. Principals created frame - across school leads changed - in school teachers changed again)

(see South easter Faith-based Kāhui Ako Learning Framework)

Next Level:
(see Local to global learning framework graphic)

If kids hate matsh - take to airport with a pilot, and get excited about flying, and the maths involved. Interest-based.

Document = Learning Framework, rather than Achievement Challenge - the MOE is endorsing these new approaches. Open the door - create what we think will work for our community and put it on the table. MOE is learning also. Evidence-based practice that is going to make a difference.

Are we prepared to elimiate stuff that is not necessary?

The Principal: three Keys to Maximizing Impact, By Michael Fullan

The Principal: three Keys to Maximizing Impact Michael Fullan Criticises over emphasis on Principals leading the learning Importance of building capacity, rather than micro-managing Refers to researchers who conclude that Principals as having an indirect, yet important influence on student learning: Viviane Robinson - BES (leading teacher learning and development), with principals learning alongside and from Helen Timperley - "Who is my class?" Ken Leithwood - focus on instruction and ensuring collaborative working conditions, such as time for collaboration Tony Bryke - professional capacity (individually and collectively), school climate (ensuring safety and orderliness in the aid of learning),parent and community ties  and instructional practices that engage students in relation to key learning goals. Hire teachers who have at least four core qualities; High moral commitment relative to the learning of ALL students - regardless of background strong instruct
