Edendale Primary Annual Plan (Reviewed)
February 2013
1. ‘Across Curriculum’ Expectations
NAG 1 EDUCATION: CURRICULUM DELIVERY Student Achievement Teaching and Learning Targets: Reading, Writing and Mathematics Edendale’s expectation is that students at each year level across the school will meet the requirements of National Standards, showing progress in achievement outcomes over the school year N.B. ESOL-funded students, ORS and other students with high special needs will be reported on separately Writing samples: Years One-Three Recount (Description/Report)s using Exemplars Years Four-Six - Reports/Argument) AsTTle There is an expectation that an integrated inquiry learning approach will be used overall with authentic learning situations planned for students school-wide Teachers will ensure that a range of text types is planned for and taught across the school There will be a renewed focus on the teaching and assessment of mathematics All teachers are expected to follow ‘Learning at Edendale’ 2012 Guidelines
All teaching staff will: • Think and talk critically about their teaching practice using ‘Teacher Inquiry into Practice’ guidelines in ‘Learning at Edendale 2012’ • Share learning intentions/success criteria daily with students and hold daily plenaries so that students can understand, discuss and evaluate their progress and learning needs • Teach students to talk about their work, self-evaluate and recognise when learning goals are met or need more work • Regularly use overall teacher judgements (OTJ) and the template provided • Assess students against National Standards in Reading, Writing and Mathematics • Analyse student progress in Reading, Writing and Mathematics using the class template provided (within required timeframes) and are able to discuss the learning needs, progress and future focus for each student in their class at given times of the year. Include summary of actions to improve outcomes for Maori and Pasifika students. • Report to families via family conferences and written reports ensuring that families understand their child’s progress and learning needs • Have a clear understanding that group support programmes are in addition to and support class programmes • Seek support whenever necessary All Team Leaders will ensure that: • Their planning for and teaching provides a model for teachers in their team • All teachers within their team are planning for and teaching according to expectations • That there is a focus on student progress and learning needs in core curriculum within team meetings • They provide support for teachers in their team where requested/required and seek support where necessary • They complete (as specified) an analysis of achievement needs and future focus for their team within required timeframes using the template provided and BOT • Undertake observations of core curriculum (and other areas) teaching practice within their team and inform DPs/Principal of any concerns without delay • That students are referred for support programmes where these are available and would benefit students at risk of underachievement DPs will continue to ensure that they: • Lead Literacy and Mathematics school-wide together and support team leaders within their delegation • Support teachers where required and when requested • Lead/design staff PD across delegated areas • Liaise with each other and the principal regularly • Complete an analysis of achievement, needs and future focus across their delegated areas as required and report to BOT at designated times
2012 National Standards Reading Reporting Edendale Primary (1265) Analysis of Variance 2012 data included one hundred and eighteen ESOL and nine ORS funded students whereas in 2011 these students were reported separately. The Principal has reported year-level cohort achievement (2011 - 2012) to the Board and targets have been set accordingly in the 2013 Annual Plan. Progress data for students at Year 4 in 2012
cannot be compared with that of Year 3 in 2011 as the prescribed measures are different. Reading

Progress made against the Maths National Standard.
Raising NZ expected achievement levels in Mathematics has impacted on student outcomes in 2012. In 2012, there was a 2.7% overall variance in achievement school-wide. Maori student data showed a variance of 1% achievement and Pasifika student data showed a variance of 8%. Boys achieved the same rate of 70%' at and above' and girls showed a 6% difference overall. 2012 Year 6 students achieved 1.1% better than as Year 5 students in 2011. Year 5 students in 2012 achieved 4.89% improvement. There is data for four ORS funded students; three are achieving well-below, one below the expected level. Of the one hundred and eighteen ESOL funded students, 63.5% are achieving 'at or above'. In 2013 the Board has employed a teacher with strength in Mathematics teaching to work three days each week to support learners achieving below the expected level.
All teachers will ensure that they:

NAG 1 EDUCATION: CURRICULUM DELIVERY Action 4 ASSESSMENT PRACTICES Further develop and review assessment practices school-wide to ascertain effectiveness of programmes
Measurement: Performance Management, Observations, Videos, Teacher Documentation, Student Feedback and Achievement Data
Review Comment Teachers are becoming increasingly confident with assessing against National Standards, however increased Ministry expectations for Mathematics (Numeracy and Strand. National Standards results therefore may vary as our Team Leaders analysed Numeracy. In 2013, all Maths data analysis will be based upon both Numeracy and Strand. A number of students competed ICAS with success including one student who was a medal winner. Assessment practices are discussed and reviewed regularly. Templates used for team reporting will again be reviewed in 2013.
Teachers/Team Leaders will ensure that they: • Become adept with assessing against National Standards: • Integrate mid-year and end-of year reports with Classroom Manager • Further develop knowledge of assessment/analysis/future focus planning with all teaching staff, with particular focus for individuals as required • Ensure teachers use National Standards expectations and maintain data records on Classroom Manager, summarising as required • Include Six Year Net data collection with ‘Forty-Week’ data for students having completed one year of schooling • Review template for Teacher/Team Leader/DP (Literacy/Numeracy)assessment collection/analysis, future planning and reporting • Become familiar with the updated Classroom Manager formats and continue integrate assessment data with KnowledgeNet • Continue the KnowledgeNet team with a representative from each team, led by the KnowledgeNet Lead teacher • Continue with ICAS Curriculum Competitions for selected students, STAR testing (Years Three-Six), PRETOS Testing (Years Five-Six) • Monitor progress and achievement through staff professional development programmes • Meet school-wide assessment requirements on time • Monitor reading progress of: – Junior students by taking Running Records every three weeks up to Level Twelve – Students working between Levels Thirteen and Twenty a minimum of twice each term – Students working beyond Level Twenty a minimum of once each term Team Leaders will: • Monitor progress of non-core curriculum areas though use of assessment tasks and data files • Meet the requirements of their job descriptions for the assessment component of their leadership role and remuneration (MU) • Support teachers in their team with all elements of assessment requirements • Provide relevant feedback and action plans for future learning needs across the team DPs will: • Take joint responsibility for overall school-wide assessment in English and Maths • Ensure all team documentation is appropriately reviewed and evaluated The Principal will report National Standards progress and outcomes to BOT in March (2011 data and December (2012 data)

Review Comment Students receiving additional literacy support are reviewed each term in Week Eight. A part-time teacher for numeracy support will be sought in Term One 2013. Maths programming and teaching across the school will be under scrutiny in during 2013 bearing in mind that MOE ‘aspirational goals ‘ make it difficult for a number of students to achieve high levels of success.
