If you want to travel fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together (African Proverb)
OUR STRATEGIC PLAN 2020-2021
The Hakatere Kahui Ako formed as a collaborative and cohesive group in 2015 with initial achievement challenges accepted in December 2016. To date the Kahui Ako has worked effectively to implement the various priorities to improve educational outcomes for children at the individual school level and across schools as directed and agreed upon. The mahi has been directed through the Kahui Ako Achievement Challenges and a shared strategic plan.
The strategic plan has three key aims:
I) Through effective inquiry we will implement policy, programme and pedagogy to meet the needs of all our learners.
2) Develop and promote a community that demonstrates and celebrates success, equity, inclusion and compassion.
3) Enable all students to experience challenge, choice and wellbeing, at every stage of their education thus enjoying success.
The three strategic aims overarch the Kahui Ako strategic actions, which are designed to give effect to the Achievement Challenges. Each strategic action has direct links to one, two or all three overarching strategic aims. The strategic aims will continue to act as overarching aims in the next phase of mahi underpinning the new set of actions.
Near the end of the first phase of our Kahui Ako partnership we also questioned ourselves as leaders on what was needed to continue to meet our Achievement Challenges going forward. The following statements capture the collective feedback from the Steering Committee:
• Ensure that we grow our teachers to be the best that they can be
• Ensure that they are supported to be in leadership roles and have the capability to motivate, excite and empower the classroom practice of all teachers
• Continue to provide teachers with the right professional development that actually meets the needs of what we want to achieve
• Ensure students are engaged in their learning and understand the values of ·what they are doing
• Communicate more effectively with families and whānau about what we are trying to accomplish and empower them to take a more active role in raising achievement
• Use our collective knowledge to grow staff capability
• Build effective relationships with students who need help and ensure they enjoy coming to school and are successful
• Use moderation to help attain consistency especially in assessment
• Have highly effective systems of communication and accountability
