This clip is from a monitoring meeting at Wainuiomata Primary School. Raewyn Walton is a literacy leader at her school. The teachers (Frances McCarthy, Robyn Rae, Diane Stevens) bring student achievement data for specific students to this meeting to analyse collaboratively.
Watch the video and think about these questions: What literacy knowledge does Diane need to have to analyse the data to this depth?
What beliefs about teaching lie behind Diane’s use of data and the description of her practices with Ainsley? How does her conversation reveal these beliefs by what she says?
What beliefs about teaching does Francis reveal in her contribution have about involving her students in the use of evidence? What knowledge informs her beliefs and practices?
