• Communities of Learning | Kāhui Ako 2017 Survey

  

  This report describes the findings from the second survey of Communities of Learning | Kāhui Ako. The survey took place in October 2017 and looked at the extent to which anticipated changes are occurring in Communities of Learning | Kāhui Ako (Kāhui Ako). Surveys were sent to all 210 Kāhui Ako. Responses were received from 1,515 people in a variety of roles.

  The findings suggested that Kāhui Ako is supporting teachers to work together to build teaching expertise and is successfully building a collaborative culture within and across schools.

  Issues with the viability of the new career pathways were identified, with a lack of staff cover for release seen as the greatest barrier to progress in Kāhui Ako. The use of evidence to drive actions also appears to be problematic, principally with sharing and comparing data including the constraints of working with different Student Management Systems (SMS).

• PISA 2015: New Zealand Students Wellbeing

  

  Students’ educational outcomes can be affected by a range of factors from inside and outside of the school grounds. For example, students who are motivated to succeed have high expectations for the future, and those who have a strong sense of belonging at school tend to have better academic outcomes. It is therefore vitally important that parents, educators and system leaders understand and act on these aspects of student wellbeing.

  In 2015, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) measured these and other aspects of wellbeing among 15-year-olds across 70 countries. This report summarises the main results as they relate to New Zealand students. Where relevant, this report also triangulates information from other studies to provide a fuller understanding of student wellbeing.
