Teachers are using tools such as PAT online, AsTTle, Numeracy Database and Profiles in CM to not only inform immediate teaching but to compare classes, look at school needs and then set goals for future improvement. Student information has increased discussion not only between year group teachers but within the department.

All schools have increased participation in professional discussions through reading groups and whole staff discussions with the focus on teaching strategies and future schooling needs.

Principals are all involved in professional readings with staff and lead through example with ICT for example using data projectors, PowerPoint and provoking discussion through the use of other media such as video or podcasts.

An increased level of informal discussions about student needs and learning has been noticed by Principals and Lead Teachers. Teachers are more willing to share their own practice.

Staff have increased levels of professional dialogue and educational issues through morning PD sessions, and show and teel at staff meetings. We also have a regular distribution of readings as well as the SCT leading discussions on professional readings on a regular basis.

Principal's are taking leadership in professional mentoring roles. Also another principal presenting to new year one teacher at Otago University.

Teachers are now following a unified reporting system of student achievement and reporting back to parents and whanau. Principals lead discussion on best international practice and research. Also they have ensured that resourcing is available is able to 'keep up' with teacher demand for equipment, PD and cluster wide PD days. Th P's have also had a key role in finding key note speakers for PD days.
