Reflecting on our school 

Understanding literacy accuracy - development overtime 

What does it look like for all our teachers. 

Alma Harris 2015 - design consultant for education 

Context and culture matter 

What does this mean for us in our own school. Developing a shape and picture of our school to someone else's.

The National Education Goals 

OECD - new approach needed to deliver technology potentials for school 

'In 2012, 96% of 15-year-old students in OECD countries reported having a computer at home, but only 72% reported using one at school. Overall, students who use computers moderately at school tend to have somewhat better learning outcomes than students who use computers rarely. But students who use computers very frequently at school do much worse, even after accounting for social background and student demographics.'

Context for teaching needs to be responsive and engaging 

"you need to know me to understand me"

The final word strategy 

- underline one phrase that really sits with you. 

- 2 mins to tell people why you think this is important

- 1 person in the group takes 1 min to expand on your ideas

- 1st person gets the final word. 

Without evidence you are just another person with an opinion

What is our philosophy in literacy as a school?

What is literacy? Do you have a shared understanding of what literacy is?
