Blogpost #7: Stocktake of My Inquiry so far...

  • Have I used a range of sources/ tools/ evidence about what teachers understand and do?
  • Longitudinal reading achievement data (BOY and EOY, including previous years)

  • Pillars of Practice Tool (Image below)

  • Reading Practice Intensive Resources

  • Sheena Cameron Resources

  • Learning Progressions

  • Students Assessment Data


  • Do I understand their strengths at least as much as I understand their areas for development?

  • Student learner profiles

  • Teacher Notes that include student data


  • Have I developed a strong profile of their achievement based on sound theories from a range of relevant sources?

  • As a team, our goal is to move the students achievement closer to the norm line and to achieve bigger norm diff gains.


  • Identify THREE measures you could use pre- and post- to compare students’ learning before and after your intervention.

  • Reading Planning (from BOY to EOY)

  • Pillars of Practice tool (with anecdotal notes)

  • Teacher Reflections


  • What opportunities have presented themselves during this time to innovate and collect evidence of students’ learning?

  • RPI has sparked a burst of 'learning' amongst my team. It's brought back the excitement for planning Reading. The resources and ideas that are shared during RPI sessions have prompted changes that we have implemented. We have reading task boards for each group, our teacher notes actually make sense now, the independent activities consolidate the reading strategies and more. We're currently planning what our Vocab Wall is going to look like. Student engagement is evident and the urgency to complete their reading tasks is becoming a consistent reputation.
