This framework will be used to: shape quality teaching across the school develop school and individual professional learning plans act as a tool during coaching, feedback, mentoring and peer observation discussions provide a focus for teacher self-reflection with their own teaching guide the presentation of professional learning at the school Professional Learning Snapshot Overarching goal: To develop and implement a model for strong collegiality and collaboration across the school to deliver high level student outcomes and school improvement. Professional l Learning Teams Learning teams: English, Maths, Technology and Health Sector teams: K-2 and 3-6 Collaborative planning teams: Like grades

3 K - 2 Sector Goal Actions Outcomes and Measures of Success To improve student literacy outcomes by increasing teacher knowledge and developing best practice in relation to teaching Phonological, Phonemic Awareness and Phonics. Engage in an inquiry approach Professional learning Collaborative planning and sharing Peer observations Explore the K-2 Good Teaching Literacy document to support our practice Dedicate a large portion of staff meeting times to working as a K-2 Sector Monitor a target group of students at or below the benchmark in SPAT-R testing, PIPS & Running Records specifically in phonics to show improvement 3-6 Sector Improved teacher knowledge and practice in phonological awareness and phonics measured by a rubric both at the beginning of the inquiry and at the end 90% of Prep students to reach SPAT-R benchmark (above the 25 th Percentile) by the end of the year All Grade 1 & 2 students in the bottom 25 th percentile (at risk) will maintain or improve their percentile ranking Improvement in the 2 nd PIPS results for Literacy, in particular phonics, for 2016 and beyond Students will reach the reading benchmarks of 5 (Prep), 15 (Gr. 1) & 22 (Gr. 2) due to increased ability to verbalise how to decode and encode. Maintain or improved NAPLAN results for grades 3 & 5 in the 2017 and beyond spelling and reading results. Goal Actions Outcomes and Measures of Success To improve student reading outcomes by developing best practice in relation to the teaching of reading ( inferring). Dedicate 4 staff meetings in Term 1 to meet with all 3-6 staff to begin inquiry process Use data from NAPLAN and PAT reading as a starting point for our inquiry Use the 3-6 Good Teaching Literacy and Numeracy documents as a guide for our inquiry Identify good resources (books, researchers, teachers) with knowledge in this area Continue to meet as a sector and continue inquiry/inquiries throughout 2016 Collaborative planning and sharing sessions Conduct peer observations Organise professional Learning as identified to support inquiry Improved NAPLAN results for inferring in comparison to Australian averages in Grades 3 and 5 Improved mean class percentile rankings in PAT reading by 20% throughout the year Improved teacher knowledge and practice in reading (self-assessed with rubric)

4 2016 Mathematics Plan Leadership Team Andrea Curran, Annie Rathbone, Natalie Wickham, Amanda Skelly, Lorraine Norris Strategic Objective 1. To maximise school and teacher practice in Mathematics 2. Maintain and/ or improve students outcomes in numeracy Major Strategies Resources Evaluation Measures New leadership team to be formed beginning of 2016 The scope and sequence and Whole School Mathematics Agreements will be revisited and revised (by leadership team) and continue to be implemented across the school. Teachers to analyse data to inform and assess teaching practice using Di Siemon s testing tools Staff to engage in monitoring meetings to support each other with differentiation Teachers to collaboratively plan Mathematics work with colleagues on an ongoing basis throughout the year focusing on differentiation and integration with other learning areas. They will plan and assess using an inquiry approach Teachers to work in teams with like grades to cater for varying abilities for targeted teaching where possible (possibly organised streaming). At risk students will be identified and supported with available resources. Staff will engage in monitoring meetings to support each other with Audit of new teacher confidence and expertise. Staff will be given the opportunity at the beginning of the year to participate in a refresher of Di Siemon s work & mental computation Maths kits for each classroom will be added to, according to need. New kits will be made up as needed. Displays will be made in the staff room of ideas/ resources that may assist with planning according to the scope and sequence.

Teachers to analyse data form NAPLAN, PIPS, SWST, SPAT-R and PAT to inform and assess teaching practice. At risk students will be identified (using SPAT-R, running records and other school based literacy testing) and targeted support provided. Support provided for identified staff to attend and share knowledge from external PL courses and ALEA-TATE conference. Collaborative planning sessions to become regular timetabled events (fortnightly) Provide support for at risk students (goals identified in IEPs) through Flying Start Program, class intervention, tutoring, parent information sessions, and targeted use of TA s Appraise current student and teacher resources and update as needed.
