Verifying the quality and consistency of (teaching) practice is a key to effecting improvement. Fullen 2012 LDSS Consistency Targets for 2015: 100% of teachers effectively using data to inform focus teaching and re-teaching A complete whole school curriculum plan, including year level and unit plans based on the Australian Curriculum, and in response to student needs and data 100% of teachers enacting the Laidley District State School pedagogical framework 100% of teachers checking for understanding and acting on it within lessons 100% of teachers using assessment ‘as’ learning, including A exemplars and SMART goals 100% of teachers using the bookwork protocols in each classroom
