Clifford Park Special School will receive$78,935
This funding will be used to support our Improvement Priorities for 2017.Our Improvement Priorities are:
- Students will achieve their reading expectations or literacy expectations.
Specific targets to improve student outcomes include:
- Precise, measurable reading expectations/literacy expectations written for every student.
- Four weekly data cycles to be implemented for reading/literacy expectations.
- Devise and implement whole school Data Walls.
- Deconstruction of data tools and cyclic implementation of purposeful data tools.
- Reading/literacy expectations recorded for every student in OneSchool Student Plan Support Provisions.
- Termly conferencing between teachers and Peer Feedback Coaches.
- Student Plan meetings with stakeholders occur once a semester.
- Students will engage in age equivalent maths contexts through specialised and explicit pedagogies.
Specific targets to improve student outcomes include:
- All teachers to implement RAMR (Reality, Abstraction, Mathematics, Reflection) pedagogy with specified cohorts of students.
- Evidence of learning data processes to be designed.
- Development of a three year plan for the Learning Area of Maths.
Our initiatives to support the implementation of the Improvement Prioritiesinclude:
- Evidence of Learning Professional Learning Community (PCL) leads the implementation of data processes within the school.
- Professional Learning for all staff regarding Evidence of Learning processes – increase knowledge, skills and competencies on assessment literacy.
- Attendance and professional learning processes instigated from Lyn Sharratt’s Leading Learning Collaborative
- Increase confidence of teachers to deliver the RAMR (Reality, Abstraction, Mathematics, Reflection) cycle through coaching and feedback.
- Engage with external networks to improve knowledge and understanding of mathematics.
Our school will improve student outcomes by
Strategy / Actions / Costs
1a) Define and implement consistent, contextualised and systematic data processes in order to collect, store and use as evidence of learning
b) Use evidence of learning to identify where students are ‘at’, inform targeted teaching and confirm that our curriculum and pedagogical decisions are leading to learning. /
