‘Planning my Future’ 2011 A WSR Retention and Engagement Strategy in response to the Raised School Leaving Age.
Information Session Outline • Overview / Skeleton of Program • Regional Model of Best Practice- Chifley Senior College • Resources to support models • Where to from here? • New World of Work
Initiative Overview • What is PMF about? • Planning my Future aims to engage students in their learning and career path planning by providing a framework for whole school organisation and participation. • How can PMF work? • Streamlining teams in schools • Justifying purpose of various teams • Overuse of teachers (the enthusiastic ones) • What might the benefit be for my school? • School management enhancement • Possible partnerships with business, other schools and the potential development of successful school communities.
Implementation Ideas? • A Career & Transition School Coordination team- this might entail a realignment of existing school teams; Schools need to ask themselves: • Why was each team formed? • Which staff members are involved? • Does the team have an aim and how is that aim reflected in the schools management plan? • Is the team representative of all school areas? • What part of the student body is targeted by this team? • How does the team evaluate its success and are team findings utilised in developing management plans?
Other Ideas • School Clusters- groups of high schools working together to develop strategies that address the needs of a targeted group of students. • School Communities- Formation and/or enhancement of strategies across school communities that develop the ‘whole’ student. • Kurri Kurri Learning Community • The potential for the development of formalised partnerships is underpinning to PMF. • Teacher professional development is also a key to the success of this initiative.
