The Manaiakalani schools meet on Tuesday 12 February to review the Woolf Fisher data from 2018 to help us set our Inquiry goals for 2019.
We looked at the data from 2018 to celebrate the successes we have had as well as to ask ourselves "What went well/ or not so well?" and "How can we build on this?" or "How can we replicate these results in another area of the school?" It is a great reminder to help us define our thinking and planning.
Rebecca gave us some interesting data about the junior area from the School Entry Assessments (SEA) that we do to all children after they have been at school for 5 or 6 weeks. There was wide variation on the number of letters that a child could identify according to the decile of the school (with our decile 1 children able to identify 17.4 letters while at a decile 7 to 9 school they could recognise 34.7) as well as the variation in the number of words a child could read.
A similar disparity occurs in other areas with our children shown to have to run so much harder to catch up. We have made a start on improvements in Maths and now we will focus on on how we can best provide strategies for our children in literacy as we plan and set goals for our classes in 2019.
