Develop
a shared and clear vision about the expectations for learning both within the
school and for each child. Suggested activities to support this
improvement strategy include:

with input from the whole
school community, review school vision and values
·
review structures and
management practices to ensure that every person in the school knows and
understands what is expected of them in making their individual and
collective contribution to the college strategic objectives
Improve
the schools performance and learning culture through an evaluation of the
performance and development culture of the school - using DE&Ts
self-assessment framework - and establish a team to implement improvements in
the five key areas of the framework, i.e., induction of new staff, feedback,
professional development and school culture. Suggested activities to support
this improvement strategy include:
·
aligning staff
performance plans with the schools strategic plan and annual implementation
plan.

establishing for 2007 an
overall staff professional development plan that allows staff to engage in
professional dialogue and learning that relates to the achievement of the
schools strategic plan.
·
build the capacity of all
staff to give and receive feedback.
Establish
a rigorous system of accountability and data analysis by which the school and
student performance can be evaluated.
Suggested activities to support this improvement strategy include:
·
develop and implement
professional learning and development focused around the use of data to
improve learning outcomes and teacher accountability
·
encourage regular and
systematic interrogation by teachers of all available data that relates to
student learning
·
enable teachers to
reflect, both individually and collectively, upon their own practices in the
light of the wide range of information that is available, including staff review, AIM data services, student and parent
opinion and other relevant locally obtained data sources.
Enhance
teaching and learning practices across the school and develop classroom
programs and practices that promote high level student outcomes, cater for
the individual learning needs of all students and promote high
expectations. Suggested activities to
support this improvement strategy include:

full Victorian Essential
Learning Standards implementation
·
principles of Learning
and Teaching implementation and the further development of professional
learning teams
·
undertake accreditation
as a Performance and Development Culture school in 2008
Improve
assessment and moderation practices across the school including developing a
deeper understanding of assessment of, for and as learning. Suggested activities to support this
improvement strategy include:
·
undertake DE&T
Student Learning on-line assessment professional learning modules
·
undertake professional
learning around the use of progression points and annotated work samples to
assist in assessing where students are at in order to inform program
development.
