Establishing a direction:
In order to do our curriculum review we needed to have a clear understanding of what we wanted our students to 'be' when they got to the end of Year 6. We needed to consult with our stakeholder groups what they thought a learner should be when they left our school.
On the NZC Online Blog, a post titled "Graduate profiles - a vision for future-oriented learners,' states:
This post states that a graduate profile describes 'skills, knowledge and attitudes that students will need to develop in order to participate in a range of life contexts beyond school.' In order to progress we needed to explore just what this meant for us. To do this we needed to use our vision (to create: confident, connected learners who make a positive difference) to guide our community in developing a graduate profile that identifies the skills, knowledge and attitudes we want our leavers to possess.
Below is a picture of my understanding of the 'flow.' The vision informs the graduate profile which will, in turn, inform the school curriculum.
Time to consult with teachers, parents, BOT and students. Time to explore those voices. . .
