What can inquiry look like? Undertake meaningful inquiry projects into the impact of teaching on students Inquiry is central to teachers professional learning Reciprocal sharing of inquiries with other teachers School-wide professional learning Leading inquiry at a teacher level

Consider the data… What conclusions can you make based on the data today? What could this mean for your department? Which areas may need to be the focus? What data is available at school for you to use? Is there other data that could be useful? Use assessment data to inform practice

BES Leadership Case studies for Professional Learning to improve student outcomes As part of an expert group: 1.Identify 2-3 key ideas that will make a difference in your department – Why? 2.What good leadership practices come out of this case study? 3.How will this impact on my priority students? 4.Share your findings and ideas with your home group.

Crossing the landscape several times

Enhancing teaching and learning Learning logs exemplar Discuss how this exemplar could be used to promote effective feedback to improve student outcomes in your particular area within the SS. What needs to be considered?

Instructional Strategies may include… Modelling – reading texts, processing information, writing, using exemplars, discussing... Scaffolding towards independence Connecting texts and tasks – purpose and relevance – Why am I reading this? What do I focus on? Linking between modes – link practical activities to discussing, reading, writing, presenting Critical thinking (perspectives, connectivity, relationships)

Providing sufficient opportunities to practise literacy skills. Practise using the language of the subject Building vocabulary – oral, written, visual Selecting relevant information and evaluating information Critiquing sources Using evidence, integrating evidence when writing…

Analysing student writing Consider: Audience and purpose Content/ideas Structure/organisation Language Surface features

Making it manageable… RTCs Tataiako Appraisals

Learning relationship process… Set focus for observation of teaching or learning Reflective interview – explore goals and intended outcomes Observation Self-assessment by partner Partner highlights strengths/missed opportunities/areas for development Coach listens without interruption or discussion Coach gives evaluative feedback Coach gives a perspective of strengths and areas for further focus or development Coach and partner engage in discussion and reflective interviewing

Exploring the concept of leading change Teachers have greatest influence on student outcomes How to promote teacher professional learning Learning from data becomes an integral part of practice Promote conditions which teachers use data to inform practice Leaders – your promotion of and participation in teacher professional learning

On reflection… Reflecting on today's workshop: What will you do differently? How will you lead this? Consider individuals that may take longer to influence – how will you work with them?
