  • Apart from just observation, which is very important, what rigorous processes can we implement to reflect upon and use to answer this question?
  • The analysis of the information collected is not intended to give individual feedback to teachers but to provide whole school information about strengths and weaknesses in the implementation of formative assessment strategies.
  • A high level of trust among staff is important to ensure the authenticity and success of the Walkthrough process. It is seen as a supportive way to ensure that we hold each other accountable for achieving our scoreboard.

Leadership effective schools learning

shared by Aaron Davis on 11 Jun 14 - No Cached
  • One of the first leadership decisions I made was to work with staff to audit our schools meta-curriculum. That is all of those programs, events, celebrations, operational arrangements and practices which are not core to the teaching and learning that happens inside classrooms.
  • My mantra was to “give teachers permission to spend their time improving the learning of the students in their class with minimal disruption”.
  • Students are spending less time out of classrooms and more time focused on their own learning.

    A great post from Jason Borton discussing how he worked with his leadership team to refocus his school on learning.

    Dropbox is one of the most popular cloud based platforms for hosting and sharing files. Like Google Drive, Dropbox offers a decent free storage space to start with and there is also the possibility to buy more storage capacity. Unless it is a Google doc or presentation, I always save my PDFs and other documents to Dropbox. What I like the most about this tool is its syncing capacities which are way faster than Google Drive. You can upload a PDF on your desktop and access it instantly on your Dropbox account  in iPad.

  • It’s true that the Internet can be a wild and woolly place to find information, with the potential for complexity, bias and reliability concerns. However, it is also the environment that most resembles real life, where complexity, bias and reliability concerns are just part of the way the world actually works.

shared by Aaron Davis on 02 Mar 14 - No Cached
  • There is no one way to make music, and there certainly isn’t one theory about how to make and understand music.
  • theories are generally descriptive representations of a style, not prescriptive principles to guide creative compositional work.
  • a musical theory is a simplified, expedient, and usually preliminary step in intertextual analysis.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • my personal goal for the core curriculum is to help students think critically and in detail about music, and to communicate clearly and persuasively about music.

    An interesting investigation into music theory. More related to tertiary music, but still a good read.
