1. Session 2: Annual Compliance

2. Why Annual Compliance?  Reduce the burden on schools at DSR  To ensure schools are compliant all the time  To separate compliance from school improvement

3. How will DSR change over time as a result of annual compliance?  BOS compliance removed from DSR visitation  DSR to focus more on evidence of quality learning and teaching  DSR to focus on strategies and evidence of school improvement (QCE)

4. Annual Compliance 2013  Policy – Complaints and Grievance Policy with supporting school evidence  Curriculum – Primary English S&S and sample stage 2 English program  Secondary – Compliance checklists all KLAs, random sample of programs

5. Scope and Sequences  Definition Scope refers to the range of learning activities/outcomes Sequence is the order in which they are taught  A S&S provides an overview of the school’s educational program for registration period

6. Scope and Sequences 1. Title of each unit (if applicable) 2. Sequence of each unit for the year/stage 3. Duration of each unit 4. Syllabus outcomes included in each unit (codes)

7. Scope and Sequences continued 5. Any specific subject requirements (e.g. texts and text types for English, research project for Science, site study for History or time allocated to major aspects of a course) 6. Additional information based on common practice in particular subject areas or particular school requirements 7. Life skills to be incorporated if being integrated and taught concurrently where required

8. S & S Samples  In groups of three, preview the sample scope and sequences provided  Using the checklist, check each scope and sequence to see if they meet compliance  Are any scope and sequences not compliant? Why?  Which scope and sequence do you think is the best? Why?

9. Compliance Checklists  It is the Principal’s responsibility to establish processes in the school to ensure the standard of teaching in a school meets BOS requirements  It is important that programs are supervised internally, ideally once a term. This can and should involve a combination of self review, peer review and supervisor review  It is the CEO’s role to check on these processes
