What data does Group 8 need to set up the online
Student Voice and Student Feedback surveys?
I'm adding lots of text here just to see what the
page will look like. The answer here is not
necessarily a representation of what we would
really write here...
Further action research has shown that school
culture has a major influence on teachers’
ability to engage students, on the attitudes and
behaviours that they hold in the classroom.
Changing a school’s culture becomes a central
means of achieving sustainable improvement.
This research also highlights the importance of a
school having an over-riding moral concern and a
culture based on the attitudes and behaviours
consistent with this concern – a learning or
invitational culture. This work highlights that
senior leaders – through the exercise of
leadership – have the greatest effect in changing
a school’s culture.
Group 8 Education has found that providing
individual development and team development
progressively to senior leaders is a very
effective way of building this leadership
capacity (both singly and as a team) and enabling
senior leaders to transform their school’s
culture.
Within the framework of a changing culture the
provision of focused coaching training to middle
and senior leaders and their coaching of
(initially) newer teachers using student feedback
as one input is an effective way of developing
capacity more broadly within the school.
