Page 4 of 12Step 2 Determine challenge of practice
Consider how improvements in teaching practice will help to achieve your improvement goals and answer the
question ‘What areas of practice should we focus on improving to reach our goals?’ Specify your challenge of
practice for each goal in the table below.
The Quality School Improvement Planning Handbook explains how to do this.
Challenge of practice
Goal 1 If teachers use the Brightpath moderation tool and explicitly teach the genres of writing, then we will improve student achievement
in Writing in Years R-7.
Goal 2 If we continue to timetable a daily reading program integrating the Big Six components of reading, including synthetic phonics R-7,
then we will improve student achievement in reading.
Goal 3 If we teach number sense sequentially using the Big Ideas in Number R-7 with a focus on Trusting the Count, Place Value and
Multiplicative Thinking then we will improve student achievement in mathematics.
Page 5 of 12Step 3 Plan actions for improvement
Consider evidence of best practice to answer the question ‘What actions should we take to improve our practice and reach our goals?’ Specify your
actions for improvement, timeline, responsibility, resources and success criteria for each goal in the tables below.
The Quality School Improvement Planning Handbook explains how to do this.
