Workshop 1 content

• Supporting a Teaching as Inquiry model

•Using data to inform teaching and learning (ako)

• Pathways

•Revisiting NCEA Level 1 and 2: tasks/resources/pedagogy

• Progressions – preparing junior students (Y9 and 10) for success in NCEA L1, 2 and 3 in statistics/probability

Workshop focus "Leadership promotes teacher learning via communities that are focused on improving student success. To establish such communities, leaders may need to challenge or change cultures that are not focused on collegial discussion of the relationship between what is taught and what is learned.” Pg. 42 School leadership and Student Outcomes: Identifying What Works and Why: Best Evidence SynthesisIteration. V. Robinson et al.

AimTo focus on how to implement teaching and learning that leads to improved student outcomes through pedagogicalleadership.

Learning OutcomesParticipants will: •Examine how to use data to inform teaching and learning•Use a teaching as Inquiry model to plan for change in their teaching and leadership•Investigate ways to improve student success •Use national key messages to inform teaching and learning

Using data to inform teaching and learning

The learner at the centre

Using data to inform teaching and learning

Questions to ponder:1. What do I know about the student?

2. What am I doing to help each student move forward?

3. What does one student at a time mean?

4. What data is there that I can use to get a picture of where each student is at?

How well do your classrooms reflect the revised curriculum NZC (2007)?

Programme design based on the cohort in the school – flexibility and adjustment in learning programmes

How well does your formative or summative assessments fit your programme design?

Does junior assessments reflect their preparation for NCEA?

Is your reporting to students, parents, BOT reflecting what is necessary for better informing and moving students forward?

In the focusing inquiry, teachers identify the outcomes they want their students to achieve.

In the teaching inquiry, teachers select teaching strategies that will support their students to achieve these outcomes.

The learning inquiry takes place both during and after teaching as teachers monitor their students’ progress towards the identified outcomes and reflect on what this tells them.

Teaching as Inquiry

- reflective journals, portfolios, end-of-term evaluations, peer observations and discussions

In the 2011 report, Directions for Learning: The New Zealand Curriculum Principles and Teaching as Inquiry, ERO found that in 72 percent of the schools processes had been put in place by school leaders that were either highly, or somewhat informative.

- created routines and systems that prompted reflection about student achievement and teaching practice

From TEACHING AS INQUIRY: RESPONDING TO LEARNERSpage 5

The primary purpose of teaching and learning inquiry, as described in The New Zealand Curriculum, is to bring about improved outcomes for students through a cyclical process that is guided by the following questions:

1. What should students achieve? Where are our students in relation to these goals and priorities? What do students need to learn next? (focusing inquiry)

2. Which strategies, interventions or programmes will support students to achieve these outcomes? (teaching inquiry)

3. What learning happened for students as a result of these strategies, interventions or programmes, and what will teachers do next to ensure that students continue to progress? (learning inquiry)

An e5 Instructional Model1. Engage• Develops shared norms• Determines readiness for learning• Establishes learning goals• Develops metacognitive capacity

2. Explore• Prompts inquiry• Structures inquiry• Maintains session momentum

3. Explain• Presents new content• Develops language and literacy• Strengthens connections

4. Elaborate• Facilitates substantive conversation• Cultivates higher order thinking• Monitors progress

5. Evaluate• Assesses performance against standards• Facilitates student self assessment
