Positive School Cultures

Transforming Schools Through Data-Informed Practice

Through whole school scans, professional development and data planning meetings we empower schools to:

  • Identify strengths and growth areas through comprehensive classroom scans.

  • Build long-term consistency with staff training and data-informed strategies.

  • Reduce disruptions and enhance engagement through positive behaviour for learning practices.

4D Coaching Cycles

Our Education Consultants come into your school, and work side by side with Level I or Level II accredited observers to improve their skills in observations and reflection sessions.

We do a 30-minute 1: 2 observation, a reflection session where we provide feedback to the observer (who we are observing!), and then a 30-minute feedback session on their data collection and coaching skills.

Participants will leave this workshop with:

  • How to be a more effective classroom observer and coach

  • Builds capacity within the schools for coaching cycles

Data Meetings (Planning)

Now that you have the data, on how your school is working, let us help you understand that data so that you can create a plan to move forward.

In the Whole School Plan we connect leadership teams with one of our data consultants. There are options for connecting with our Data Consultants for a detailed Data Presentation to use with staff and follow up meetings to set Pulse Checks.

Participants will leave this workshop with:

  • Understand our data sets (they look complex but there is an ease to following them)

  • Make sense of how this can be used to inform your school’s strategic direction

  • Be integral in a review cycle based on the recommendations discussed in the meeting.

Whole School Scan

In the Whole School Scan we do a one-to-one 30-minute classroom observation with each teacher. These observations are there to identify the impact of the teaching on the learning environment.

We then share the data from each classroom observation with the individual teacher in a 20-minute reflection session, to develop awareness and build a shared language around a culture of learning.

From there, all data are imported into the live online database. No individual teacher can be identified in these reports. A set of school based data reports are produced, which provide the school with a clear picture of the impact of teaching and learning across the whole school and the classroom environments.

Following the scan, school leaders will have:

  • Clear and precise evidence on what is occurring in their classrooms.

  • Access to data, which will inform where you’ve been and where you can go.
