Student Centred Learning Dr Vivianne Robinson

Notes from Handout and MPP
Higher achievement comes when leaders are focused on the improvement of teaching and learning
 =Five Dimensions:



Establishing goals and expectations

Sorting through and prioritising then setting clear goals. Clarity and concensus.

Resourcing strategically - PD aligned to student needs.

 Involves clarity about what is and is NOT being resourced and why

A focused rather than fragmented approach to school improvement

Importance of critical thinking skills in allocating scarce resources

Ensuring quality teaching  -Instructional Leadership. BUILDING TRUST.

More than just  goal setting but also looking at overcoming challenges and crafting solutions - e.g. teacher's classroom practice.
It's about knowing  what to do and when to do it.-knowing about effective teacher learning and school organisation.

Effective teaching maximises the time that learners are engaged with and successful in the learning of important outcomes.

Leading teacher learning and development   student learning is a collective responsibility.
Leadership that not only promotes but directly participates with teachers in formal or informal

professional learning.

Orderly safe environment for teachers and students.

Norms and routines that support cognitive and behavioural engagement

Relationships of mutual trust between leaders, staff, parents and students

 

Educational leaders build relational trust, in part, through respectful and inclusive problem-solving processes.
