2009 Annual Plan

 

Introduction
In this plan we will continue to have a very tight focus on teaching and learning and creating an orderly and positive environment inside and outside classrooms.

 

There will be other initiatives in 2009 that are not included in the plan. These include reorganising our Learner Support Department, having another cohort of teachers being trained in Te Kotahitanga, expanding our use of Gateway, creating opportunities for leadership among junior students, and promoting further use of restorative practices.

 

As noted last year, an emphasis in this plan is to cut through all the possible changes we could make – and there are always plenty in education – to focus on what we judge to be the most important in terms of teaching and learning, in terms of student outcomes in other words, and to align our human and financial resources to our goals as effectively as we can.

 

Our professional development plan for 2009 will focus on the main elements in this plan especially. Staff will have options within the design of the professional development programme to cater for differing needs, strengths and interests.

 

The SMT will report to the staff and board on progress towards achieving the goals below at the start of Terms two, three and four
