 * ** Cluster Programme Goals **

**What progress has been made towards achieving these goals?**


 * Since becoming members of the Rotorua Central ICT PD Cluster at the beginning of this year, Glenholme School staff has been involved in a great deal of e-learning and inquiry based learning professional development.
 * On the 27th and 28th of January 2010, the principal and all Glenholme teachers attended a two day workshop based on SOLO Taxonomy with a focus on Designing a thinking curriculum that encourages cognitive stretch, and integrates information communication technology, SOLO Taxonomy and HOT visual mapping Presenters Pam Hooks and Julie Mills.
 * The principal, two lead teachers and our ICT teacher attended the Learning at Schools Conference on the 24th to the 26th of February 2010.
 * One lead teacher attended Activboard Training at St Marys School on 15th of March 2010.
 * Oticom Audio speaker system workshop open to all staff on 16th March 2010
 * Staff have attended two Digital Workstation workshops in March and April 2010
 * The two lead teachers attended the Best Seminar at Lynmore Primary School on the 1st of May 2010. The focus was on Improving Students Outcomes.
 * The ICT Community Learning Team attended Julie Mills SOLO Taxonomy training on the 11th of May 2010. The focus being Hooked on Thinking SOLO Coded Visual Language Maps.


 * RCICT Lead Teacher Meetings**


 * On the 4th of March, the RCICT lead teachers, Principal of Glenholme School and Tessa Gray met as a group for the first time. Tessa Gray led the meeting with a focus on the development of our cluster wiki and expectations as lead teachers.
 * The lead teachers met with Nancy Macfarlane (Lead Principal) on the 26th of March to discuss milestone reporting and ICT Staff Rubric Surveys.
 * The lead principal and lead teachers met with Tessa Gray on the 5th of May and went over expectations and requirements for milestone reporting. The lead teachers shared what progress had been made with learning communities and SOLO Taxonomy rubrics were shared.


 * ICT resources at Glenholme School**


 * We purchased 15 personal computers and data projector for our ICT suite.
 * We have employed a teacher to cover CRT release, during which time she teaches ICT skills and e-learning to every class throughout the school. Each class spends approximately six blocks per term with the ICT teacher.
 * We have four activboards with data projectors and 6 digital workstations placed throughout the school.
 * All teachers have leased laptops which are funded by the school.

**How has this affected the teaching pedagogy in our school?**


 * We are fortunate to have Nancy Macfarlane as the lead principal of our cluster. She has been very proactive as the lead principal of the Rotorua Central ICT Cluster, and very supportive to the lead teachers. Nancy has been the catalyst and driving force behind the initiatives and achievements happening at our school.**


 * SOLO Taxonomy assessment rubrics are being constructed and co-constructed by teachers and students in literacy, mathematics, the key competencies, values and social sciences.
 * The lead teachers and ICT Learning Community Team have provided whole school blogging PD, as well as PD on SOLO Taxonomy unit planning and rubric assessments.
 * Teachers have begun using the HOT Visual Maps to extend thinking.
 * Most teachers have set up classroom blogs and are beginning to use them to improve literacy and numeracy skills, and also to open up global communication.
 * The lead teachers at Glenholme School have been allocated release time in Term 2 to observe staff implementing and teaching ICT lessons in their classrooms. Although some teachers are being challenged and taken right out of their comfort zones, some fantastic lessons and skills are emerging!
 * The activboards are being used by teachers and students to improve mathematics and literacy learning. Students are more hands on in the set up and interaction with the board, rather than it being teacher led.
 * The ICT suite has allowed students more opportunity and time to engage in ICT skills and e-learning, due to the number of computers available and the quality planned ICT lessons implemented by the ICT teacher.
 * Some teachers have based their performance appraisal goals on ICT achievement e.g. maintaining blogs and use of activboards.
 * Teachers and students are using digital cameras, flip videos and webcams to record school life and learning activities.
 * Digital workstations are being used to increase literacy and numeracy learning.


 * What evidence supports this?**

 * What are the next steps towards achieving the outcome? **

How do we track and measure what impact this initiative is having on raising our students learning in ICT and Inquiry based learning?

Implement learning programmes that initiate and develop the intent of the New Zealand Curriculum/Te Marautanga o Aotearoa || **Success Indicators** Individual schools have set up professional learning communities that are meeting regularly to discuss how units are begin planned that integrate ICT/ e-learning, inquiry learning and approaches that support NZ Curriculum/Te Marautanga o Aotearoa ||
 * **Cluster Programme Goal**

**What progress has been made towards achieving this goal?**


 * Glenholme School established an ICT Learning Community Team, which includes the lead principal, two lead teachers, our ICT teacher and three other classroom teachers. There is at least one member representing each level of the school to ensure there is coverage and support throughout the school from the junior classes to the seniors.
 * The ICT Community Learning Team is meeting regularly. Discussions have focused on SOLO Taxonomy rubric assessments, planning and the use of ICT in classrooms.
 * All staff are now using the SOLO Taxonomy Planning Template for topic studies units which were provided by Pam Hooks and Julie Mills during PD in Feb 2010.
 * The lead teachers are beginning to integrate ICT and SOLO Taxonomy throughout their planning.
 * Teachers and students are constructing and co-constructing SOLO Taxonomy assessment rubrics in literacy, mathematics, key competencies, values and social sciences.

**What evidence supports this?**


 * Teacher planning templates
 * Assessment rubrics
 * Teacher voice
 * Student voice on their understanding of the self assessment SOLO Taxonomy
 * Improving learning for Maori through the use of ICT and inquiry based learning**


 * Maori children are involved in the assessment process when co-constructing SOLO Taxonomy rubrics.
 * Teachers are aware that many Maori students are kinaesthetic learners and that with the use of ICT tools, such as activboards, computers, flip videos, digital cameras etc, will lead to an increase in learning engagement.
 * Teachers are making an effort to increase their own ICT skills in order to give their students hands on ICT learning experiences.
 * The lead teachers have identified Maori students in their classrooms who have very little ICT knowledge and/or use of ICT tools. They are hoping that through the course of the year, with increased knowledge and use of ICT tools, these students will increase their engagement of learning in literacy and numeracy. Baseline survey filled in by students. This is still very much a work in progress!!!
 * We have two student ICT experts in the senior team, one of whom is a year 6 Maori student. He is often called upon to assist classroom teachers and students throughout the school who require help with ICT hardware and software problems.


 * What evidence supports this?**


 * Student voice rubrics
 * Video Eli assisting Mr Allen to upgrade activboard software.


 * What are the next steps towards achieving the outcome?**


 * Meetings with Glenholme Staff, Maori Achievement Learning Community, ICT Learning Community and with RCICT lead teachers to discuss and share what steps and programmes we can put in place to improve Maori achievement learning outcomes for Maori students with the use of ICT. This is an area that we have not yet addressed as a staff in depth and seems to be a need in our cluster schools.

Milestone 2 **Purpose**

The purpose of the milestone reporting process is:-
 * To provide clusters with the opportunity to reflect in a focussed way on their progress and to inform their future planning
 * To provide National facilitators with an overview of cluster programme progress so facilitators can support the formative learning processes
 * To provide the Ministry of Education with information to evaluate the ICT PD national programme; allowing the identification of issues and trends and exemplar practice.
 * To provide the Ministry of Education with evidence that an individual cluster is complying with the contracted agreement.

**c. List any key lessons for the cluster?**


 * **Ongoing professional development is crucial for teachers to become confident, teaching ICT and e-Learning programmes. It is evident that the ICT Lead teachers as well as teachers in the e-learning team are more proactive in this area. Perhaps teachers with less knowledge and confidence could be given a leading role or become part of the e-learning community team to provide opportunities to excel.**
 * **Children given the opportunity to use the ICT/e-learning equipment and programmes are flourishing and are becoming experts in this area and teaching those who are less able.**
 * **Teaching professionals to become more familiar with the revised school and cluster based ICT curriculum.**

**d. What are the next steps towards achieving the cluster goals. List any key lessons for the cluster?**


 * **Teams to make more of a purposeful planned effort to integrate key competencies into all learning opportunities. Currently I think we do it generally, but not with a purpose.**
 * **Teachers with less knowledge and confidence could be given a leading role or become part of the e-learning community team to provide opportunities to excel.**
 * **Teachers need to set ICT and e-Learning goals to ensure they are implementing and teaching ICT and e-Learning on a regular basis to their students.**
