Curriculum & Learning

Research, Development, Standardised Testing & Academic Performance

A more detailed rendition of this is given under the Self Review and Assessment tabs of this Charter/Reporting Site.

During 2022 We have received the following sets of evidence and analysis to consider at a cluster level:

As in previous years, we have a wonderful collation of data, both external and internal from which to deduce and firm up our trend information and analysis.

The Manaiakalani Outreach Data, the Manaiakalani Cluster Data, Pt England School Data, the CoL Teacher Inquiries and our own Teacher Inquiries cohere very strongly with each other. This is a very good position to be in. Although, as always, there are things we badly need to improve, it is enormously helpful to have this large body of evidence and knowledge confirming what we have to do.

We continue to prove in Pt England School, the Manaiakalani CoL and Manaiakalani Outreach, that we are able to make at least 1.5 year's progress in 1 academic year in Writing.

We are able, when conditions are optimal, to make 1.5 year's progress in 1 academic year in Reading.

We are able, when conditions are optimal, to make 1.5 year's progress in 1 academic year in Maths.

We have not yet achieved this consistently in a wide number of classrooms across all 3 core subjects. This we must do.

We have identified teachers in our school, across our cluster and across the outreach who have been able to do this, albeit in a limited way and we have begun work using them in our Reading Practice Intensive pilot lead by our Research Team, in order to scale this out and make it widely available across our rohe. We are now getting underway to do this in Maths.

It is well worth noting that even in the worst phases of COVID-19 the Manaiakalani learners, including those in our own school still managed by average 1 year's progress in an academic year in Reading and Maths and 1.5 year's progress in Writing.

This is a spectacular result and needs to be celebrated!

2022 saw Pt England School achieve school wide acceleration in Writing

Except in specific classrooms, we did not achieve this accelerated progress in Reading and Maths, with the majority of learners making one year's progress in the academic year.

For more specific information please our Analysis of Variance Page

The Pt England Management Team, supported by our partners learning and the evidence mentioned above, have decided that we need to continue the focus begun in 2019. To build Teacher knowledge, capability and understanding that sits behind all 3 core subjects. This will require focus on:

• Language acquisition, development, sustaining and transfer relating to Self Regulation

• Learning design across subjects, including understanding and proficiency with the Learning Progressions

• Whanau engagement in learning

• Critical Literacy & extended discussion

• Wellbeing & Mental Health

• The Key Competency of Managing Self

Pt England will continue using the learnings from the Engage Programme that helps embed self regulation in our young learners and will continue for the next 2 years with the Mitey mental health programme for all learners and teachers

The convergence of Inquiry, Observation, Assessment and Research has continued to sharpen the focus for what we need to plan, design and implement next.

We would encourage all readers of this report to read the National Standardised Testing portion of this Charter/Review site.

Writing Improvement

Approximately 75% of our learners made 1 - 1.5 yr's progress in Writing.

Specific details and data for Writing are available in the Self Review portion of this site as well as in the Assessment Section.

Mathematics Improvement

Approximately 50% of our learners made 1 - 1.5 yr's progress in Mathematics.

Details, results and analysis available at Self Review .

Reading Improvement

Approximately 50% of our learners made 1 - 1.5 yr's progress in Reading

Details and results available at Self Review .

Manaiakalani & Learn, Create, Share

The Learn Create Share pedagogy is a focus of development every year. As mentioned above, each staff member conducts an Inquiry into Practice, the published version of which can be found on the "About Us" page of the Pt England Website.

We are busy reviewing our local curriculum design as a necessary and valuable post COVID activity so that we can effectively and coherently deliver through the Learn, Create, Share pedagogical framework the items previously listed:

Manaiakalani Class OnAir continued for its seventh year in 2022, under the Supervision of Anne Sinclair and leadership of Matt Goodwin. Check out the work of Zac Moran and Kelsey Parrant as fantastic examples of what this wonderful work is like. This great resource is being used as training and support content for teachers in the 120 Manaiakalani Schools around Aotearoa, along with Trainee Teachers in the Colleges of Education and teachers and schools internationally.

Manaiakalani

The expanded story of Manaiakalani 2022 can be found at: http://www.manaiakalani.org and at:

The programme goals remain unchanged.

The Digital Fluency Intensive, turned out yet again to be one the most successful and satisfying PLD options available in 2022. On the strength of this we have built out and developed the Reading Practice Intensive during this year. This programme will now be offered out widely across the Manaiakalani Rohe in 2023. Based on this success we are now working on setting up a Maths Practice Intensive and have advertised a Maths Facilitation position.

During 2022 we added whole new cluster in Horowhenua, a group of Kura a Iwi and some single schools in Sth Auckland.

We continue to work with MOE and DIA to push for "Last Mile" equity solutions for those who are not getting a fair digital access deal. We are currently involved in developing a budget bid to go to cabinet.

Manaiakalani Community of Learning

Our CoL Teachers have conducted their inquiries with diligence during 2022 and at the time of reporting many are being interviewed to continue in these positions for 2023.

By the time you read this report, they will have all delivered their annual Report Back, via our annual "Bursts and Bubbles" event held online this year, and watched by members of Manaiakalani and Manaiakalani Outreach.

Pt England CoL teachers in 2022 were Kelsey Parrant, Hannah West and Clarelle Carruthers.
