Example Packages
We have found through many years of supporting in schools that there are some very successful strategies for improving outcomes. We have outlined some approaches that have worked in schools below:
Package A
Suggested number of lead teachers involved is 4. Suggested number of days over three terms is 5.
These teachers are expected to lead other teachers in the school through their PLC's.
Day 1
Consultant works with 4 lead teachers individually, modelling a requested lesson in their classroom. (Prior to the day, the teacher emails details of what has been previously tried and what they would like to see modelled).
Day 2
Consultant observes/supports in the classroom to see how the teacher has applied the new practices in a lesson. A TRT releases teachers in the afternoon to meet with the consultant to review the lesson
Day 3, 4, 5
Consultant observes/supports in the classroom to see how the teacher has applied the new practices in a lesson. A TRT releases teachers in the afternoon to meet with the consultant to review the lesson. The principal and other leaders are involved in meetings or classroom visits with the consultant to understand the changes that are occurring.
