ERO (Education Review office) Update
Our school is currently into the second term of working with our ERO- Evaluative Partner, Julie Earl. As mentioned back in Term 1, ERO now appoint an Evaluative Partner to work alongside all schools in the form of a longitudinal review, rather than the traditional ‘one- week’ snap shot. Since the beginning of the year Julie has built up strong relationships with our Lead Team, and in the future those relationships will extend to the wider staff, students, community and whānau.
A key focus of ERO, is for schools to create excellence and equity for all learners. As part of this process, ERO are working closely with schools to ensure effective Internal Evaluation is occurring. We have been working hard with Julie to formulate an Internal Evaluation plan based around Written Language. Each week we will inform you of the key stages of the Evaluation.
Key Evaluation focus questions
How effectively are aspects of formative assessment (learning progressions and student agency practices) used at Stanley Avenue School (SAS) to raise achievement in written language?
a. To what extent are the SAS learning progressions in writing used to track and monitor student progress and guide teacher planning for next learning steps?
b. To what extent are student agency practices (school strategic goal 2) utilised across the school to improve outcomes in writing?
Keep posted: Next week we will discuss the supporting rationale for this focus.
