6 gaps which remain in our schools
post school improvement - Massachusetts
• The employability gap – the gap between what the economy demands and
what the school system produces.
• The knowledge gap – the gap between what a 21st century American needs to
know and what graduates of the school system actually know
• The achievement gap – the gap between Massachusetts students as a whole
and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds
• The opportunity gap – The opportunity to succeed between children of the
well off and children of low income families
• The gap between the performance of Massachusetts and those in the top-
performing education systems in the world
• The top talent gap – The gap between top-performing students in
Massachusetts and top-performing students in the best systems in the world
(Brightlines, 2014).

Then
• We do what we are told to do
• We work to external targets
• We are process led
• We monitor staff frequently
• We assess students frequently
• We rely on others to say if good
Now
• We create our own vision
• Internal accountability first
• We are pedagogy led
• We unleash our teachers
• We build student competence
• We expect more from ourselves

Vision for World Class schools
i. Everyone in the school, regardless of background or
starting point, achieving the highest academic standards
ii. Students equipped with the values, attitudes and attributes
that will serve them well in university, the workplace and
their life
iii. The school delivering this outcome consistently year on
year regardless of changes to context or circumstances.

Room at the Top
‘More pupils than we previously
thought have the potential to perform
at the highest levels. Gifted education
tells us exactly how to achieve this.
There really is ‘Room at the Top’ if we
systematically nurture more children to
get there.’ (2010)

You need a plan…
‘Delivering success … is not like entering
your numbers into a lottery. You cannot
rely on chance to deliver success; if you
do, you are as likely to be successful as
you are at winning the lottery.
Accompanied by hard work, the delivery
of success is wholly reliant on a carefully
and meticulously structured process.
Remember the best way to predict
success is to create it’
Whyte, 2015 p37

“When it comes to improving
intelligence, many researchers
concluded that it was not
possible.
Our findings, however, clearly
show that this is not the case.
Our brain is more plastic than
we think.”
