Sustaining System and School Improvement82. Differentiated SupportI see consultants as the GLUE that holds system and school improvement together. For several years now I have had the luxury to meet with Primary and Secondary schools in the Eastern Region of MACS. They have had PL that has embraced Whole Group – Small Group and individualized learning with me and also their Eastern Regional Consultants. Pre-preparation and attendance by all is a pre-requisite. Julie Stewart talks to me about the hidden benefit of COVID as ZOOM Meetings have kept schools ‘on track’ in learning together in very small, personaliazed groups.

A Kindergarten student in the Diocese of Lismore is excelling in his Oral Language Development when ‘Learning from Home’!! This student’s impressive growth and achievement just doesn’t happen by chance. It takes careful planning on the part of his leaders and teachers – carefully crafted concepts from the Assessment Waterfall Chart (CLARITY p.124) such as: Learning Intentions, Success Criteria, Descriptive Feedback, Peer- and self-assessment and finally Individual Goal setting. Then students can become teachers to their teachers and peers!
