Reflective Summary 4


Our Reflective Summary 4 has been posted to the vln over the weekend. You can read it here!

It makes for some really encouraging reading and there has been some significant progress made on most cluster goals - with plans in motion to attack the others.

If you haven't registered for the vln yet, now's your chance. It's a network for all teachers who are interested in discussing and sharing what's happening in their schools and classrooms. We hope our reflective summary has added to those conversations.

Sept Reflective Summaries

Here is a link to veiw or download our September Reflective Summaries. We have used these school reflections to help collate our overall cluster milestone and reflective summary (you can read this shortly on the vln).






There will be a link posted here, on our cluster blog, so you can read our reflective summary. It makes for some encouraging reading! It's worth seeing the overview of the progress the cluster has made this year - which is hard to see when we are all working hard in our sub clusters and individual schools.

Here are a few stats and common threads, gathered from our school reflections -

- 6 / 10 schools have followed through and completed their teacher inquiries this term.

- 2 schools using these as part of their appraisel process.

- 9 / 10 schools report a substantial increase in teacher confidence and capability in ICT integration. Many schools preparing purchasing plans for increasing the number of devices in their schools.

- Most schools reflected a year of embedding their inquiry process and establishing consistent planning and assessment practices across the school.

Here are some other links to some fantastic sites, wikis, videos and other web 2.0 activities happening in the cluster!
