COLLABORATIVE MANAGEMENT MODEL

COLLABORATIVE MANAGEMENT MODEL

As part of our Grow Waitaha professional learning is to be positive examples of a collaborative management team.  This is to lead by example.
To do this we have:

  • A weekly senior management meeting
  • A shared timetable
  • A shared working space - all in one office
This has been really beneficial during term 3 while Jason has been on sabbatical.  This has been a good support for Steph and I as we learn new aspects of the DP role.  We feel that there has been greater discussion about areas of concern, and greater shared responsibility of at risk students.







MENTORING

As part of my role this year it is to mentor hubs/teachers to raise the quality of MLE practice and gain consistency across the school.

KOPAPA WEST: Deena, Janine, Gemma and Nicole

  • Meetings to support with the implementation of a structured writing programme
  • Meetings to support with PB4L systems and structures to support the behaviour and learning
  • Meetings to support with OW
This learning space is working well, they have developed good systems, they are working well together now and this is evident in the way the children are working.
Ongoing support is still happening with OW and a few other students.
There are notes to most of these meetings but for privacy, they are not attached.

KOPAPA/AKEAKE EAST: WRITING
Belinda approached me to support her team with planning writing and with a collaborative approach.
I attended a meeting to share how we do this in my hub and set up a new planning template for writing.
The main focus is to get explicit teaching happening - so the plan is catering for this:
I do - teacher model
