Summary of evidence

 The following are a few comparisons of the pre and post intervention data collected throughout this year. 

1. PAT & GLOSS data - Overall Teacher Judgements (OTJ)

The following show the actual results of all 8 target students. During my Bursts and Bubbles presentation, I had made a quick OTJ based of data made available. Upon reflection and further analysis, I realised I was too generous in my judgement and need to remedy this OTJ before reports are published. 

My initial report was that 3 students made accelerated shifts (1 made 2 years progress, 2 made 1.5 years) 3 made 1 years progress and and 2 made 6 months progress. 

The correct OTJ summary:

  • 3 made accelerated shifts - all 3 made 1.5 years progress
  • 2 made 1 year progress
  • 3 made 6 months progress

Students A, B and E made accelerated shifts, which was the ultimate goal for this inquiry. 
Students D and H made 1 year progress. Still a good shift.
Students C, F and G made 6 months progress this year. Not ideal, but along with many contributing factors, I am still happy they've made progress.

My OTJ was based on a collection of data points. Their book work, online work, Maths Whizz progressions/achievement percentage, as well as our standardised testing of PAT, and Gloss testing. This was great to see students achieve what they set out and practiced in class, but also seeing some students who's testing did not always reflect a lot of their work completed in class. This required a good balancing act as well as some input from my team to ensure we all made the same judgements across our team.

2. Student Voice Survey

This was an End of Term 3 survey I wanted to try and capture students thoughts before the holidays. The main idea behind the survey was to get student voice about what I set out to change - Warm up games and using materials. Here are the results of the student voice survey.

Bursts and Bubbles 2024

 Last Thursday we came together for a final showdown of our inquiry in what we call 'Bursts & Bubbles'. A fun and quick way to present in 3mins what the top points of our inquiry this year was. 

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to our fellow CoL members present their hard work and listening to their success stories. A lot of us still have data yet to come, but the journey and outcomes we have so far have all been very positives. 

Thank you to Panmure Bridge and our Manaiakalani team for being awesome hosts. Thank you also to our videographers and photographers for capturing this presentation. Here is my 3minute presentation.
