Protocols
In these early days of Kāhui Ako, different Kāhui Ako are at different places in terms of their comfort in sharing individual school data with each other. We think it will be valuable for individual schools to share their Teaching and School Practices reports with the Kāhui Ako leader or across-school teacher. Individual school reports give a fuller picture of strengths and needs, and where the Kāhui Ako resources are best placed. The decision to share individual school data remains with the school principal.
Role of the Kāhui Ako leader
Kāhui Ako leaders can send the link to this site: www.tspsurveys.org.nz to fellow principals to recommend the Teaching and School Practices tool, and seek agreement from member schools. We would suggest also working out a time-frame for when the survey would be done (see Getting Started for pointers).
Email us at tspsurveys.nzcer.org.nz to let us know your Kāhui Ako has agreed to take part.
When principals register their school, they also need to indicate their desire for their school data to be included in their Kāhui Ako aggregated data.
Once you have an agreed start and completion date, the Kāhui Ako leader can email principals to check progress. We suggest:
- emailing just before the start date,
- checking on response numbers 2 weeks out from the completion date
- checking a week from the completion date.
You may need to extend the completion date to ensure as many teachers as possible have participated.
We provide the Kāhui Ako leader with the aggregated reports once we have heard from you that all the schools have completed the survey. We ask you to tell us what customisation you want in the reports.
