Pasifika Education Plan 2013-2017

Webinar goals:

By the end of webinar you will have:

• Used a range of resources to strengthen your understanding of 'good' practice with regard to professional relationships, values and knowledge as described in RTC 3, 6, and 11, RTC 9, and 10
• Started to determine what evidence you might use in your appraisal and how you will organise your evidence

So that you have

• necessary and sufficient evidence to show how you are meeting a range of RTC

Webinar notes:

Focusing on 9 & 10

Professional knowledge in practice

Criteria	Key Indicators	Reflective Question	Tataiako	What would 'good' practice look like?	what would you regard as valid evidence that you could use to demonstrate 'good' practice?

What evidence do I have? and what more do I need to gather?

- mainly planning and assessment data

- informal parent / student voice, but not gathered specifically or recorded robustly

-some observations and reflections, again not gathered strategically or robustly

Do you consider that you gather necessary and sufficient evidence that will help you understand good practice with regard to values, relationships and knowledge as described in the RTC?

- No - my evidence is limited. Principal appraisal process - which includes my teaching has largely been a Q & A session with some documentation review. I would struggle to put my hands on any evidence of my teaching practice - or principal practice other than planning documents and student achievement data that is MOE requirements.

Back mapping -
Reviewing how evidence demonstrates RTC and Tataiako criteria

How could this be developed on this site?

What to do from here:

- collect evidence for workshop 2
- reflections of PLG meetings
- prepare to share thinking about what you consider to be necessary and sufficient evidence.
