Improving the achievement of Maori students.
•

New Zealand’s Cultural Diversity Auckland Normal Intermediate as appropriate to its community will develop procedures and practices that reflect New Zealand’s cultural diversity and the unique position of Maori. In recognising the unique position of Maori, we will take all reasonable steps to promote Tikanga Maori (Maori culture) and Te Reo Maori (Maori language). We have three key goals to promote Maori language: 1. To encourage Maori people to use the Maori language in various daily activities. 2. To celebrate the place of the Maori language in New Zealand history and modern society. 3. To generate and/or harness, and actively employ, goodwill towards the Maori language within the wider New Zealand population. This is achieved through: • Language events and activities. • A range of celebrations (e.g. cultural festival, performances) and • Promotion of Maori language throughout the school at a class, team and year group level. Instruction in and through Te Reo and Tikanga Maori: • Should a parent request instruction in and through Te Reo and Tikanga Maori the Board of Trustees would action that request by: a. b. c. d.
Discussing with parents and whanau each students need, requirements. Source first language support from local resources if possible. Employ a teacher trained in Te Reo. If a Te Reo teacher was not available explore other options such as correspondence school.
Pasifika Language At ANI we promote Pasifika languages and culture through celebration, song, dance and annual consultation with our Pasifika community. A fono is held in Term 4 where parents/caregivers are encouraged to attend and give us feedback on the needs and aspirations and direction of our Pasifika students.

3 Operating Plans including Annual Targets
2 Strategic Goals
NOTE: Our Strategic Plan was developed in consultation with teachers, students and the Board of Trustees. During this consultation phase we were aware of the impact the new curriculum would have on the direction of our school over the next three years. It was therefore important to view the plan as a ‘work in progress – subject to change’ document as we continue to take small steps in determining our future.

Student Achievement Targets
Targets 2008 The following target relates to ANI’s Strategic Plan. It is one of our future focused goals.
CORE TARGET Strategic Goal: To further develop, sustain and enhance our core business.
Target: 80% of the targeted group of students will be able to assess their learning using the language of solo taxonomy in the context of Inquiry. Target Group: A random sample of 5 boys and 5 girls from each class (first 5 on the register).
Baseline Data: In term two a baseline survey will be conducted to assess how students are using solo taxonomy in the inquiry process. How we will achieve the target: Term One Teachers Reflect on work done in 2007 relating to Inquiry also relate to guest speakers at Teacher Only Day (Principals Stories 30th January and Mark Treadwelll 11th February). Through discussion with the Core group determine what the needs are relating to the future direction of the school. Look at research relating to Inquiry and a common language throughout the school. Discuss research with Core Group. Determine that SOLO is the correct framework to build Inquiry Learning on at Auckland Normal Intermediate. Get outside facilitator (Pam Hook) to discuss how SOLO would impact at ANI and the set target and prepare action plan. Staff meeting one – introduce SOLO Taxonomy. Give examples of each of the stages and some possible ways it could be taught. Prepare PowerPoint. Teachers access resources that identify SOLO Taxonomy stages and the associated language that relates to each stage. ANI School Charter Page 35 of 44
Term Two Students Target group is identified and survey administered to get children’s before views on using SOLO Taxonomy. Children to use SOLO Taxonomy in class. Teachers Teachers to experiment with SOLO Taxonomy. CORE group to develop resources – including SOLO Taxonomy applied to questioning and SOLO Taxonomy applied to thinking skills. CORE group to work with teaches at planning sessions so SOLO can be experimented with in current units (via forum meetings). Staff meeting two – Teachers to work in small groups to use SOLO in all aspects of the curriculum and make up activities that use the appropriate languages at each of the stages. Term Three Students Students to use the language associated with SOLO to describe where they are in the learning process. CORE team to work in classes to show teachers how SOLO can be used effectively in the classroom setting. Teachers Planning templates introduced for Inquiry which incorporates SOLO and gets teachers planning Learning Experiences under each stage of SOLO. Staff meeting three – Staff are shown the SOLO planning template and given a change to use it when planning Inquiry units. Term Four Students Students to be able to talk about the stage they are at in the learning process relating to the language of SOLO. Target group to be reassessed using a survey to evaluate progress in SOLO. Teachers SOLO is integrated into planning (using planning template) of Inquiry Units at the relevant stages and activities planned. Staff meeting four – teachers to share ideas about how they have used SOLO. Teachers collate ideas for 2009 and how SOLO Taxonomy could be used. Results: (measured and variance analysed at the end of year)

Targets 2008 The following target relates to ANI’s Strategic Plan. It is one of our future focused goals.
DIGITAL TARGET Strategic Goal: To enable students to explore and implement KnowledgeNET in their learning programme. Target: By the end of the year 75% of all students will contribute once a term to a learning forum on KnowledgeNET. Target Group: All ANI Students. Baseline Data: Currently no students are contributing to learning forums on KnowledgeNET.
How we will achieve the target: Term One Teachers New Staff Induction Day: Show and discuss 2008 Strategic Plan for digital learning at ANI (29/01/08).

New Zealand’s Cultural Diversity Auckland Normal Intermediate as appropriate to its community will develop procedures and practices that reflect New Zealand’s cultural diversity and the unique position of Maori. In recognising the unique position of Maori, we will take all reasonable steps to promote Tikanga Maori (Maori culture) and Te Reo Maori (Maori language). We have three key goals to promote Maori language: 1. To encourage Maori people to use the Maori language in various daily activities. 2. To celebrate the place of the Maori language in New Zealand history and modern society. 3. To generate and/or harness, and actively employ, goodwill towards the Maori language within the wider New Zealand population. This is achieved through: • Language events and activities. • A range of celebrations (e.g. cultural festival, performances) and • Promotion of Maori language throughout the school at a class, team and year group level. Instruction in and through Te Reo and Tikanga Maori: • Should a parent request instruction in and through Te Reo and Tikanga Maori the Board of Trustees would action that request by: a. b. c. d.
Discussing with parents and whanau each students need, requirements. Source first language support from local resources if possible. Employ a teacher trained in Te Reo. If a Te Reo teacher was not available explore other options such as correspondence school.
Pasifika Language At ANI we promote Pasifika languages and culture through celebration, song, dance and annual consultation with our Pasifika community. A fono is held in Term 4 where parents/caregivers are encouraged to attend and give us feedback on the needs and aspirations and direction of our Pasifika students.

Student Achievement Targets
Targets 2008 The following target relates to ANI’s Strategic Plan. It is one of our future focused goals.
CORE TARGET Strategic Goal: To further develop, sustain and enhance our core business.
Target: 80% of the targeted group of students will be able to assess their learning using the language of solo taxonomy in the context of Inquiry. Target Group: A random sample of 5 boys and 5 girls from each class (first 5 on the register).
Baseline Data: In term two a baseline survey will be conducted to assess how students are using solo taxonomy in the inquiry process. How we will achieve the target: Term One Teachers Reflect on work done in 2007 relating to Inquiry also relate to guest speakers at Teacher Only Day (Principals Stories 30th January and Mark Treadwelll 11th February). Through discussion with the Core group determine what the needs are relating to the future direction of the school. Look at research relating to Inquiry and a common language throughout the school. Discuss research with Core Group. Determine that SOLO is the correct framework to build Inquiry Learning on at Auckland Normal Intermediate. Get outside facilitator (Pam Hook) to discuss how SOLO would impact at ANI and the set target and prepare action plan. Staff meeting one – introduce SOLO Taxonomy. Give examples of each of the stages and some possible ways it could be taught. Prepare PowerPoint. Teachers access resources that identify SOLO Taxonomy stages and the associated language that relates to each stage. ANI School Charter Page 35 of 44
Term Two Students Target group is identified and survey administered to get children’s before views on using SOLO Taxonomy. Children to use SOLO Taxonomy in class. Teachers Teachers to experiment with SOLO Taxonomy. CORE group to develop resources – including SOLO Taxonomy applied to questioning and SOLO Taxonomy applied to thinking skills. CORE group to work with teaches at planning sessions so SOLO can be experimented with in current units (via forum meetings). Staff meeting two – Teachers to work in small groups to use SOLO in all aspects of the curriculum and make up activities that use the appropriate languages at each of the stages. Term Three Students Students to use the language associated with SOLO to describe where they are in the learning process. CORE team to work in classes to show teachers how SOLO can be used effectively in the classroom setting. Teachers Planning templates introduced for Inquiry which incorporates SOLO and gets teachers planning Learning Experiences under each stage of SOLO. Staff meeting three – Staff are shown the SOLO planning template and given a change to use it when planning Inquiry units. Term Four Students Students to be able to talk about the stage they are at in the learning process relating to the language of SOLO. Target group to be reassessed using a survey to evaluate progress in SOLO. Teachers SOLO is integrated into planning (using planning template) of Inquiry Units at the relevant stages and activities planned. Staff meeting four – teachers to share ideas about how they have used SOLO. Teachers collate ideas for 2009 and how SOLO Taxonomy could be used. Results: (measured and variance analysed at the end of year)
ANI School Charter Page 36 of 44
Targets 2008 The following target relates to ANI’s Strategic Plan. It is one of our future focused goals.
DIGITAL TARGET Strategic Goal: To enable students to explore and implement KnowledgeNET in their learning programme. Target: By the end of the year 75% of all students will contribute once a term to a learning forum on KnowledgeNET. Target Group: All ANI Students. Baseline Data: Currently no students are contributing to learning forums on KnowledgeNET.
How we will achieve the target: Term One Teachers New Staff Induction Day: Show and discuss 2008 Strategic Plan for digital learning at ANI (29/01/08). Two key note speakers to present at the Teacher Only Day: ‘21st Century Learning’ (30/01/08). Mark Treadwell to facilitate at a staff meeting. Focus on current ‘digital research and 21st century learning’ (11/02/08). Digital Learning Team meeting to discuss the direction and a common understanding of what we mean by digital learning at ANI (26/02/08). Develop an inventory of digital devices and expertise of staff at ANI. Initial Discussion on our digital target for the year related to student learning (18/03/08). Optional Digital staff meeting; Sarah Ingram from KnowledgeNET demonstrated how KnowledgeNET works - what it’ll mean for our school and stated reasons why we are implementing it at ANI. Define what is the purpose of the Digital Learning Team (DLT). Finalise digital target and action plan related to KnowledgeNET implementation(08/04/08) Term Two Students Students supplied with their own logins and confidential passwords. ANI School Charter Page 37 of 44
Students accessing their class homepages to interact with: o Learning forums o Learning materials o Assignments / tasks / homework Students accessing research centre to support learning. Teachers complete a class audit establishing how many times each student had been actively contributing to the learning forum on the class home page. This information will be collated and information/outcomes made available to teachers once it has been analysed by Digital Learning Team members. Each class will receive feedback on their own classrooms use and school use. Teachers Optional Digital Learning Team Meeting: Agree on a Strategic Goal and Annual target of the Digital Learning Team (15/05/08). Consultation with Senior Leadership Team and KnowledgeNET facilitators (week 1 - 3). Class and individual KnowledgeNET templates distributed to digital team members to provide feedback for these pages in order to have them ready to be activated and ready for use, by week 6. Digital Learning Team staff meeting; Sarah Ingram to explain KnowledgeNET to all staff and the proposed timeline of events in the implementation action plan, for 2008 and into 2009 and 2010 (19/05/08). KnowledgeNET is setup and configured to meet the needs of users e.g. passwords, as well as class and individual student home page templates finalised and placed on school KnowledgeNET (week 5 – 6). Mentor training day for key teachers. Teacher self select themselves to become mentors/coaches (TBC). Mentors disseminate the knowledge and learning from their training day to other colleagues. First approach will be to administer a Digital Learning Team staff meeting as the initial induction phase then mentors to work with small teams or individuals based on staff needs (Learning forums and classroom page setups will be the first priorities). Digital Learning Team develop Polices and Procedures to ensure safe and appropriate use of the KnowledgeNET. Professional Learning and Development (PLD). All teachers trained in use of KnowledgeNET, (TBC), so they feel confident and competent integrating KnowledgeNET into classroom programmes (internal and external). Develop shared knowledge areas for teachers to access. Teachers add content to shared areas: o Staff Area o School Resources Office staff, KnowledgeNET facilitator and key member of digital learning team develop procedures needed for manually adding additional students to KnowledgeNET, the Terms of Use for students, teachers and parents, log in issues and forgotten passwords procedures for all users, and accessing help procedure, including the help desk for all general enquiries. All school events recorded on school calendar. Optional Digital Learning Team meeting (TBC). Content may include E-portfolios, reflective journals being set up, and continued professional learning and development opportunities for teachers.

Targets 2008 The following target relates to ANI’s Strategic Plan. It is one of our future focused goals.
GLOBAL TARGET Strategic Goal: To investigate new approaches to the ANI curriculum.
Target: Using a survey tool (Likert Scale), teacher, student and peer will measure the extent to which each student builds confidence in two competencies. The expectation is that 70% of students will move at least two points on the scale (scale is 1 - 7). Target Group: All students.
Baseline Data: In Term Two students will use a Likert scale (1 – 7) to place themselves on a continuum of how confident they are in using the following key competencies: Managing Self, Participating and Contributing. How we will achieve the target: Wk 7 Term 2 Students will complete Likert Scale (Baseline data). Wk 8 Term 2 Students take the Likert Scale to a peer and their teacher to complete. End of Term 2 Global Team to take survey results and analyse. Review elements of Managing Self and Participating and contributing, highlighting any areas of specific needs. Feedback to staff, survey results and any areas of specific need for these two Key Competencies. Terms 3 and 4 Students engage in classroom programmes which address through multiple approaches the elements of the two chosen Key Competencies. Wk 7 Term 4 Complete the survey for the second time by students, peers and teachers. The same sequence of analysis be carried out. Results: (measured and variance analysed at the end of year)
