What's on top
Finances , special Ed, resourcing
With the advent of Charter schools we need to really encapsulate Matts contribution as the sports school specialist in order to retain pupils ..this is to be his role ..we need to put this is writing and have it as part of our charter documentation as curriculum delivery


Assessment as experienced Principal for Feb increment and then our Nov increment
Folder or electronic
1) key components
a) principal Performance current + previous reviews
b) student outcomes
Explain this process to the BOT


Plan July 2013 to : Dec 2014
Get my Developement plan to the next BOT meeting for minuting
Get copy of my Appraisal plan
Purpose for this is to clearly articulate the place of learning process and personal learning ie PI or breakthrough mornings or discovery time.....being able to articulate this to community and staff

To do
Career steps for Principals
Learning goal
Teacher inquiry
One page deliberate plan about PLG
Leadership in others  1 page deliberate plan also
The upshot is that everything has to be written down as deliberate

Reading.........." How can we teach them when they won't listen?"
Comes under the heading of cultural competencies
Could use this reading to challenge our assumptions around several groups re inclusiveness.......special needs , Pasifica, Maori
Get staff to read after we have written down what we believe or know about these diverse groups
Can I write a survey monkey questionnaire?  Jack to help craft this, also lead team
Profile of culturally competent students..what would this look like
