We were given the strategy booklet which I will bring along next time to show and just to let you know the appendices were POLT, Effective Schools Model, e5, Developmental Framework for School Leaders & 7 Principles for Effective Professional Learning Strategy is //Powerful Learning: Literate, Numerate & Curious// Focus on good practices through the school starting in the classroom rather than the top down. Training teachers and giving them the resources to best organise teaching and learning. Leadership needs to allow this to happen. d4 – Using data & measuring as a school against Ourselves (our classroom), Rest (rest of school), Zone, Best Using the Effective Schools Model NMR has developed 8 key principles to guide the powerful learning strategy  1)  School leadership Matters  2)   The quality of teaching matters  3)  The best professional learning takes place in classrooms  4)   Standards for teaching practice matter  5)  Collaboration matters  6)   Curriculum standards matter  7)  Accountability matters  8)   Reliable data informs the best judgements about school improvement.
