What are some useful ideas and tools for schools working to accelerate student achievement in literacy (and/or other areas), particularly for Maori and Pasifika students? This presentation was delivered to school leaders, literacy leaders and their literacy facilitators (external PLD providers) participating in the Secondary Literacy Project (with overall design and national coordination from the University of Auckland’s Woolf Fisher Research Centre).
In it, I share some thinking about:
- interpretation of progress data from e-asTTle, using …
- a range of comparisons that can be made depending on the evaluation question one asks
- multiple perspectives on effect sizes and their interpretation
- the use of evaluative rubrics for interpreting accelerated student progress and achievement, and
- for inquiring into key drivers of student progress such as effective teaching, educational leadership and school culture, case management and implementation, and many more
