Web 2.0 is an umbrella term for the emerging technologies, content, and online communities that help users to interact with content and other users in collaborative ways. This month's PEN forum looks at Web 2.0 and ways of using the internet as a tool to enhance teaching and learning. The forum provides an opportunity for principals who are less familiar with using the internet to learn from those who use Web 2.0 tools on a daily basis.

To access the forum, log-in to 'PEN'. Select 'This Month's Forum' from the Pages menu. Open the forum by clicking on its title.

After five years as the main navigational tool on LeadSpace, the “LeadSpace triangle” has now gone as part of the LeadSpace upgrade. You can now navigate to: e-net, leadership, knowledge, tools and e-admin from the top of each page just under the new LeadSpace logo.

The final Kiwi Leadership for Principals (KLP) document was released on 7 August. Two copies of the document have been sent to all schools. You can click through to sections of the document from the left-hand column on the LeadSpace homepage and also download a PDF copy.

Developed in collaboration with the school sector, and underpinned by research evidence contained in the 2008 Educational Leadership BES, KLP presents a model of leadership that reflects the qualities, knowledge and skills required to lead New Zealand schools from the present to the future.

KLP will be used as a reference point for developing the Professional Leadership Strategy. This strategy will provide a three to five year plan outlining how the Government intends to work with the sector to achieve the goal of strong professional leadership in every New Zealand school by 2012.

Recently added reports look at: practical strategies and practices to transform learning (Fintan Kelly, Waikowhai School); applying restorative justice principles to primary school practice to enhance relationships and facilitate deeper personalised learning (Grant Stedman, Opawa School ); reading levels of students when they are withdrawn from Reading Recovery and one month later (Geoff Druery, Marshland School); enhancing personal knowledge of the coaching and mentoring of secondary teachers (John Heyes, Mangere College).

The final Kiwi Leadership for Principals (KLP) document will be launched on 7 August at a leadership hui in Wellington. On that date, two copies of the new document will be posted to all schools. The original draft sent to schools has been redeveloped in response to feedback from principals and sector groups. The home page of LeadSpace, currently giving information about the draft KLP, will also change on or around that date to reflect this new development.

The overarching goal of the strategy is for Māori students to be able to enjoy education success as Māori. The focus for Ka Hikitia – Managing for Success: The Māori Education Strategy 2008–2012 is ensuring the education system supports all Māori students to realise their potential.

The final strategy, launched on 15 April 2008, outlines how the Ministry of Education plans to improve the education system, ensuring it is equitable and better enables Māori students to reach their potential. Read the strategy online here:

Schools Plus aims to ensure every young person is in education, skills, or structured learning, relevant to their needs and abilities, until the age of 18 years. This education or learning may take place in schools, tertiary organisations, or in the workplace. The government wants young people to stay at school longer and to leave with higher-level qualifications.

This policy will lead to significant changes in the schooling system and will require close collaboration with all those involved in the education, training, employment, and support of young people.

The Schools Plus discussion document was launched recently by the Prime Minister and Minister of Education. The document will be widely distributed and can be downloaded from the Schools Plus website. Regional stakeholder meetings will also be held in a number of metropolitan and provincial centres.

Asia Knowledge is a priority in the New Zealand Curriculum and therefore has official status as a context for integrated learning and as a context for the future-focused themes. Schools have the flexibility to design relevant and meaningful learning programmes to encourage students to become active and positive members of their local, national, and global communities. Learning about Asia is an important aspect of this.

The draft New Zealand Curriculum increases the profile and status of second-language learning, and schools have already responded positively to this proposed change. How this change will affect schools will not be clear until the final version of the curriculum is published later this year. Currently, schools are required to offer language learning opportunities for students in years 7–10. Some schools have chosen to make learning another language compulsory for their students, because in New Zealand, schools are able to make locally-based decisions. However, at the moment, it is not compulsory for all students to learn a second language.

For more information on language learning and the kinds of support available, see the Learning Language community on TKI.

The Interim Response Fund (IRF) is a fund of money, managed by regional student support managers, to assist schools when a student’s challenging behaviour has reached a crisis point. To access the fund, the student’s behaviour needs to be causing serious safety concerns and distress, and all school-based resources, strategies and expertise have been exhausted.

When principals receive IRF money, they agree to report to the Ministry on how the fund is spent and what the outcome is for the student. By the end of the term following the crisis/use of the IRF (or sooner if possible), principals are required to send or fax the completed report form to the student support manager and attach copies of any relevant documentation.

The manual provides all the information a principal needs to access the fund.

First PEN online conference: Learning Interactions (12–23 March 2007)

The first conference focuses on the principal’s role in leading curriculum development. Sections cover:

• The big picture – principals look at their current curricula, determine what they would like to see in the future, and develop steps to get there.
• Three schools that have recorded their curriculum journey in digital stories.
• An open forum, called: ‘You have the draft; you have the job of leading implementation, now what?’

The online environment offers principals a cost-effective platform to get in touch with current thinking and issues. All principals have their own facilitator to assist with access issues.

The online community, PEN, is available with your e-Net password; for further information, contact your facilitator.

In March 2007, each school has been asked to submit a student data file along with their March 2007 roll return. To do this, some schools will need to use the Data Upload Portal. This portal can be accessed via the e-admin area on the LeadSpace home page. For more information and instructions on using the portal, please see: Decile Reassessment Data Collection March 2007.

Check out this new resource that has been added to the Leadership weblinks area. This guide provides a developmental pathway for ICT professional learning, and is designed to clarify the role of ICT use in principalship. Read the guide online and/or download the PowerPoint version.

Meeting of minds

“I find the online conferences an ideal opportunity to bounce ideas around with a range of people I know and many that I could not communicate with otherwise…”

(PEN user)

At the end of 2006, principals discussed their PEN experiences and produced a dialogue that explores the capacity of online collaboration and reading as a means for principals to develop their own capability and share in the development of others. If you want to find out more about what they said, go to PEN via e-Net and click the ‘Meeting of Minds’ button on the front page to read the full discussion.

This new resource is designed to assist schools to review and make the best use of data and other evidence when making decisions aimed at improving student achievement.

Schools have more evidence about what students know and can do than ever before – data and evidence about achievements, attitudes, behaviours, and environmental factors that influence learning. The evidence-driven decision-making model described will help schools to explore this evidence and make changes.

The resource contains a number of PowerPoint presentations that are designed for use in workshops and meetings where groups of school leaders and teachers are reviewing their schools’ use of evidence and establishing policies and plans for the future.

• The Principals’ Electronic Network community continues previous favourites but has new features in response to suggestions from principals.
• Fundraising ideas: in addition to examples of policies, examples of job descriptions were added late last year (more welcome). A new page has been established for schools to share their fundraising ideas for the benefit of all.
• Principal thinking: this new page encourages principals to share their thoughts on current topics; the topics will change regularly and can be suggested by principals. The Minister is looking at methods for reducing compliance; this forum invites principals to share their thoughts and to comment on suggestions currently under consideration.

The online community, PEN, is available with your e-Net password; for further information, contact your facilitator.

Thinking about registering for PDPC? These new pages provide more in-depth information about the development centres. There is also a PowerPoint presentation that you can show to your Board.
