We had 25 teachers from five of our cluster schools attend the 3.30pm session. We also had Dave Winter the Manaiakalani Outreach Delivery Manager join us throughout the day. A great session linking data to practice and engaging in rigorous discussion around accelerating student achievement - thank you Aaron and Cynthia!

2 time-point analysis T4 2016 to T1 2017
Summer Learning Effect (SLE)
Summer Learning Effect (SLE)
- significant SLE at every level except transition to Yr 10 - dropoff in achievement levels over summer holidays
Writing Overall
- writing is a significant achievement issue
- boys made more progress over one full year than girls but achieved lower mean scores and suffered a larger SLE
- Maori students achieving well compared to NZE students and suffered less from a SLE in writing
- decile difference in achievement levels and in gains
Implications
- SLE is significant - what can we do to get parents on-board?
- what does Term 4 reporting look like? Might this explain some of the SLE?
- are there any handy hints/strategies that could be added to our end of year reporting?
- testing protocols - are we preparing students for testing, do we explain the importance of the testing?
Your implications taken from the report are interesting to me Gary. I haven't thought much about the end of year reporting as I have wrestled with the SLE. I do regret that we don't seem to emphasise this with our whānau and would love to hold whānau hui to show them in non-eduspeak what the problem is. And in the case of Manaiakalani the impact of the Summer blogging programme. I am sure you have some creative solutions to share.
ReplyDeleteHello, I took my little dog for a wash and cut in woof Manuka and she got badly burned. We paid lots of money, we took my little dog Emma to the vet in Weston Creek ACT we paid more money and the cream for bunting costs us even more money. We contact the company and they dad they didn't care that I could do whatever I wanted and they are not going to refund the money not even an apology.
