Focusing on evidence

Before viewing

This clip is from a literacy monitoring meeting at Hutt Intermediate School. Teacher Jocelyn Pollock is a literacy leader at her school. The teachers (Debbie Wilson, Duncan Lints, Eric Pampalone, John Steere) bring student achievement data for specific students to this meeting to analyse collaboratively.

Watch the video and think about these questions:

  • How has Debbie engaged her colleagues in her own inquiry?
  • How does Jocelyn support Debbie to clarify and probe her evidence in more depth?
  • Why is this a critical component of Jocelyn; leadership role?
