Increasing Student Achievement
Akotahi Pouako – coaching and mentoring
our students by tracking student progress throughout the year and being able to inform them accurately.
Questions we ask ourselves:
how can we coach our students through? How do we identify our students who are
at risk?
SARONA - Students Are at Risk of Not Achieving
The data is collected from their level 1 and 2 - how many credits do they need to get across?
The Traffic Light
Green - Passing
Orange - Requires a few more credits to pass
Red - Struggling to achieve any credits
These will be reassessed and updated every three weeks
Some students will gain credits through Wintec and Taratahi courses
The Power of Being Seen
"Students who don't form meaningful connections at school are less likely to succeed."
Research says they need to form a meaningful connection with one adult every day - SSU
Staff activity: moved about the room - four tables had sheets with the names of students from each Maunga - five columns, first one you ticked if you knew them; something personal; personal/whaanau story; academic standing; barriers to success.
There were definitely students from each Maunga that I do not know by name or at all.
KMAR: students academic achievement tracking - estimating total credits at the end of the year. We had to give reasons for the estimates we gave, knowing that students would be able to view these - diplomacy but also transparency was required.
