MOE Student Achievement Target

Data Gathering Methods

Syndicate team objectives related to recommendations from Student Achievement Target in Spelling report and reading data report.

October Student Achievement around MOE school target. Analysis of data collected for achievement of our MOE target in October shows improved achievement across categories of girls, boys, Maori and Pacifica. This is clearly identified in each category in the october data report which will be shared in teams for identification of actions to help meet next steps.

ICT product and process impacting on the achievement of this MOE target is evident by the clear co-constructed learning intentions and success criteria in all classrooms. Goal setting, reflection and feedback is evident in classrooms directly connected to this target. There is clarity of purpose for this target and data has been gathered and utilised to identify and action next steps.

ICT has directly impacted on our MOE target through use of shared resource portals across classes. Some classes have included online reflection work targetted at spelling and class forums.

Some teacher comments from the Ariki Project about teacher practice assumptions support ICT as significant in helping to achieve school targets. The Ariki Project is the MOE and NZPF trial principal appraisal programme.

"The learning intention/reflection/success criteria work presented was very thorough and clearly effective to help children know what they are learning and to help them achieve success. A number of effective strategies were shared and were evident around the room where again the children are taking ownership of their learning. This is important for me because I need to be able to work this way in the classroom and to help children take ownership of their learning."

"This session reinforced the importance of children learning how learning works and the responsibility they need to take for their own learning through managing self. Junior learning stories empower children to reflect on how they are learning to set goals in managing their learning and how junior children can articulate what learning means to them. The power of visual metaphors nin the use of video clips to illustrate concepts was really powerful and really effective at all levels and something I will definitely try."

"I think that by using SRL (self regulated learning) strategies as a teacher I am more likely to question 'the point' of some of my teacher time with children. I'd like children to see more clearly what the learning intentions, success criteria and the 'point of it all' more often. It means that as teachers we have to really think about all the 'activities' children are instructed to do and how they connect to learning"
