Quality Assurance - UKZN Moderation of PoEs:5 November 2012 Moderation Team:UKZN, Independent Principal & DoE Official All 16 portfolios were moderated. Moderation was criterion-referenced because principals come from very different contexts The portfolios were moderated individually and not on a comparative basis, however HoDs portfolio from the same school were compared. Moderators were looking for authentic engagement with the tasks and the practicality of implementation The inclusion of teams from the same schools were interesting. Largely the Portfolios of Evidence submitted by Principals and HODs from the same school were nearly identical. This stands to reason if the SMT engagement with the PMDP had been authentic. There is evidence which suggests that the SMTs engaged well with the Programme, thus the schools should benefit from the process 4

Research Conclusions Research has shown that the package of practices in the PMDP has medium strength and a statistically significant linear relationship with school performance Statistically the Top 7 Practices contribute to 7% of the variation in the results at both Primary & Secondary Schools No statistically valid linear relationship exists between Infrastructure and the school results (Secondary) From a policy perspective, if the intention is to achieve improved results then resourcing should primarily focus on improving practices rather than infrastructure 7
