Investigate students’ expectations

Investigate students’ expectations

  • What messages do school leaders communicate about their expectations for all students?
  • How are these messages received?
  • To what extent do students understand and share the expectations we have for them?
  • What outcomes do they themselves value?
  • What are their current expectations for themselves?
  • Are our expectations for our learners reflected in their achievements?

Ensure equitable access to quality teaching

Ensure equitable access to quality teaching

When Jack’s school became aware in year 13 that Jack intended to continue on to university, he received support and encouragement.

He was put into the top English class with a teacher who spent extra time going over essay structure and giving Jack the tools for getting his ideas down clearly.

Maths, which continues to be an area of weakness, became a target subject to ensure that Jack had the appropriate numeracy credits for University Entrance.
