Leadership in Education: Building Effective Pedagogy Through Inquiry and Community Engagement

In education leadership, it's crucial to ask tough questions and promote critical thought among staff to foster a supportive environment. Our school focuses on creating trust and effective communication, ensuring all voices are heard. We initiated a collaborative pedagogy plan, grounded in the New Zealand Curriculum, emphasizing teaching as inquiry. By involving educators in reflective practices and strengthening community partnerships, we aim for improved Māori success and increased parental engagement. As we wrap up this year's inquiry projects, we will validate our assessment data and plan for next year's initiatives.

  2. Leadership • Leadership is about asking the hard questions and encouraging critical thought about what is happening I your school. • Creating trust and sound communication has been essential. • We’ve used different forms of review to try to validate what we can see. • Open to Learning Conversations are part of this.

  3. Effective Pedagogy • We started last year looking closely at what we see as effective pedagogy as per the NZC page 35. • All staff were asked for their input under the NZC headings. • This generated a framework for our school pedagogy plan.

  5. Process A large aspect of our pedagogy plan was related to teaching as inquiry. This has been the focus across the cluster to date. Reality: -Small school principals, where teaching is the majority of their time 0.6 or more in the classroom. -Need for support at the outset, not later when it gets ‘wobbly’. - Use of facilitator to help facilitate teacher inquiry. -Regular meetings (two per term) -Teachers own critical reflections and evidence to back them up. -High Trust, High Accountability, great communication.

  6. Maori Success • Dived into KaHikitia • Real energy to shift community understandings and perceptions. • No correspondence entered into… • Strengthening partnerships • Whole school Marae visit • All children developed Pipihanga. • Increasing parental buy in.

  7. Next Steps • Wrap up teacher inquiry projects for the year and determine next years inquiry from here. • Validate assessment data. • Re enter the portfolio concept. • Continue to work towards reporting alignment including National Standards and effective reporting.
