ASC Vision for Learning
To commence Term 3, it was wonderful to be invited to work with Esperance Anglican Community School and also John Wollaston Anglican Community School to further our system-wide implementation of our Vision for Learning. Workshops were held on Professional Learning Days to support staff with a shared purpose for learning across our schools.
ASC NAPLAN Masterclass 2024
On Monday 5 August, school leaders attended a NAPLAN Masterclass with Peter Farmer, Numeracy Consultant from AISWA. Over 60 staff attended this event to support school leaders with interpreting NAPLAN data and to inform data storytelling, as part of our continual effort to improve student outcomes and school performance across the ASC.
During the NAPLAN Masterclass, Peter Farmer effectively outlined how NAPLAN data can be used to analyse strengths and areas for improvement across school, cohort and student performance. Peter provided an overview of the data available via the Valuate platform, supporting teachers to provide differentiated learning experiences for our students. Attendees also examined their school’s 2024 data comparisons with NAPLAN historical data from 2023.
Webinar: Ten Ways to Look at Your NAPLAN Data
School leaders and teachers are invited to attend a webinar on Ten Ways to Look at Your NAPLAN Data with Dr Selena Fisk.
On Friday 30 August, Dr Selena Fisk will lead this two-hour webinar for staff commencing at 10:00am AWST and 12:00pm AEST.
Dr Fisk is a 2024 ACEL National Award recipient of the ACEL Hedley Beare Award for Education Writing in the field of educational leadership.
