Student Data Feedback

Uru Mānuka Cluster Student Achievement Feedback

On Wednesday 28 February Woolf Fisher Research Centre (WFRC) presented our student data from Term 1 2016 to Term 4 2017. All 7 Manaiakalani Outreach schools were represented; principals and leaders of learning.

SEA & Observational Survey 2017

• both boys and girls were below the national norm score in all 4 aspects at school entry.
• the raw scores for boys were lower than the raw scores for girls in all aspects at school entry.
• by six years both boys and girls were very close to the national norm score in Letter ID, Concepts about print and Word Reading.

Our 5 year olds are arriving at school with very low literacy levels, however, after 12 months our children are making accelerated gains and are very close to national norms. Our junior teachers deserve a 'pat on the back' for this progress!

e-asTTle Writing - Term 1, 2017 to Term 4, 2017

• all year groups made accelerated progress.

e-asTTle Writing - Term 1, 2017 to Term 4, 2017, 2017 by Gender

• both boys and girls made accelerated progress.
• however, by the end of 2017, the raw scores for boys were still more than a year below the national norm.

e-asTTle Writing - Term 1, 2017 to Term 4, 2017 by Ethnicity

• all ethnicities made accelerated progress.
• however, by the end of 2017, the raw scores for Māori, Pakeha and Pasifika students were still approx 1/2 a year or more below the national norm.

e-asTTle Writing - Term 1, 2016 to Term 4, 2017

• all year groups made accelerated progress.
• both boys and girls made accelerated progress.
• all ethnicities made accelerated progress.

PAT Reading

• overall, students are making less than the expected progress.
• the exception being Year 5 students who made progress approx 1 term more than the national norm and Year 6 students who made norm progress from Term 1, 2016 to Term 4, 2017.

Overall, the cluster is accelerating achievement in writing. What are the teaching actions and student activities that are enabling acceleration in writing that we can implement into our reading instruction? These are conversations and inquiries we will be having tthroughout the year.

A big thank you once again to our wonderful WFRC colleagues; Aaron, Cynthia and Selena!
