Manaiakalani Data Sense Making

Today all the schools in Manaikalani cluster of schools came together either online or face to face at Pt England school to look at our achievement data from the last year and Term 1 of this year. 

It was a highly interactive session and we all worked in small groups and had a number of tasks to do in order to understand the data in front of us. 

We worked on a Jamboard and this is a photo from my group. 



It was really good to interact with data and understand data by actually working with colleagues from across other schools and finding what progress the students had made across the cluster. We identified areas we need to improve and work on to shift data and make accelerated progress with the learners. 

It is clear from the data that although writing is a curriculum area that has seen the most accelerated progress across the cluster, yet the reading data is not consistent with accelerated progress. I always thought the two curriculum areas go hand in hand. 
Maths is an area that needs to be looked at too in great depth as the data shows there is a lack of accelerated progress in mathematics. 

Next step for me will be to look at the data within our team and then forming next steps from it. 

Some wonderings I have.... 

What are the factors impacting learners achievement in reading?
Why are majority of the schools seeing positive shifts in writing but not reading?
What do we as educators need to do to make incredible shifts in maths?
