Student Learning Whole School Self-Assessment Tool

This Self Assessment tool will help schools to identify how they are progressing in relation to the implementation of student learning initiatives. Five elements form the basis of the self assessment tool: learner at the centre, leadership, implementation and integration of the Student Learning initiatives, organisational structures, and learning environment and Performance and Development Culture.

The self assessment tool can be completed by members of the school leadership team. Schools may also wish to gain teacher perspective by asking individuals or teams of teachers to complete the self assessment tool, either using the paper-based version or using the online interactive version.

After reading through the descriptors for each level, identify the level that best describes the school’s status in each of the five elements. Schools use the suggested support materials to assist them in planning professional learning and curriculum planning in order to progress to the next level. Links to existing support materials include the Curriculum Planning Guidelines; Curriculum Planning Modules; Assessment Professional Learning Modules and the PoLT Online Professional Learning Resource.

Report on 2006 Student Learning survey

The 2006 Student Learning Survey was designed to inform the work of the central and regional offices in providing ongoing effective and targeted support to schools as they implement Student Learning initiatives. The Student Learning Whole School Self-Assessment Tool was used to collect some of this data. The survey provides a snapshot of how schools across Victoria are travelling in implementing the Student Learning initiatives, and the effectiveness of resources provided.

The report provided here is a summary of the main findings from the survey. A more detailed overview is provided in the PowerPoint presentation, which includes tables and notes.
