Attendance Monitoring

Tracking and monitoring student attendance is an important part of my role. Working alongside Kaiarahi to monitor students, especially those that are in the 'at risk' category is important so that we can put in place necessary interventions. Kaiarahi select students in the 'at risk' category, put interventions in place and monitor whether their attendance improves or not. Displaying this information on a google sheet allows me to also monitor how students are tracking. Then I can offer or support Kaiarahi with decisions around what further inventions can be put in place to help improve overall attendance.

Me and My School Analysis

After the survey was complete and data was collated by NZCER, I started analysing trends. First of all I compared 2015 cohort data to 2019. Also, I was intrigued to see how we were tracking compared to national average. Comparing data gave me a good indication of how our current student body felt about our school. There were a lot of positives, especially compared to 2015 which is an indication that the school is moving in the right direction. It also gave me valuable information in regards to what we can work on as teachers. In the analysis I have highlight key points- these are either huge improvements made by the school, compared to 2015 and national average or areas of concern. Areas of concern are key points that we can address as teachers/staff to help further improve student outcomes.
