Important facts from reading:

“School leaders have a significant role ensuring the work of everyone in a school maximises student learning.”

“School leaders need to be well prepared, have a clear picture of what it means to be an effective leader and be able to act in ways that have a positive impact.”

“Teachers must be supported to implement practices that have been shown to improve teaching – evaluating their impact, seeking feedback about their practices, working together.”

Most importantly the article clearly states that “Great schools are where each student is owned by all the teachers, and there are shared understandings about what progress and challenge is across the school.” I absolutely believe that in 5/6 that every student in our level is owned by all of us teachers. We take responsibility for all students, discuss their progress and know about each of their strengths, areas of focus an future goals.
