9. Creating a
SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL
Prepared & Presented Michele Pinnock

10. Professional Leadership
Leaders, who tend to be proactive, participate and share
leadership, and have real knowledge of what goes on in
the classroom.

11. Shared Vision and Goals
Effective schools build consensus on the aims and
values of the school, and develop a sense of community.
This provides a
• unity of purpose,
• consistency of practice,
• ownership through Collegiality and collaboration.

12. A learning Environment
• The shared vision and values determine the ethos of
the school. Effective schools have an orderly
environment and an attractive working environment,
including the display of children's work.

13. Concentration on Teaching and Learning
• Effectiveness is clearly dependent on effective classroom teaching.
• It is vital that schools focus on quality as well as the quantity of teaching and
learning.
• Such schools make
a. maximum use of learning time,
b. place an emphasis on mastery of basic skills and
c. embed an ethos around achievement – Celebrating Achievement

14. Purposeful Teaching
Quality teaching is at the heart of effective schooling.
• efficient organisation with teachers clear about their objectives.
• Students are aware of the purposes.
• Structured lessons with teachers making use of a range of explicit teaching strategies.
• Teacher who use adaptive practice to modify and adapt curriculum material to suit student individual
differences.

15. High Expectations
• Positive high expectations are one of the most important factors.
• Teachers set high standards to challenges and monitor
progress.
• High expectations also apply to teachers.
• Teachers convey and reinforce high expectations.
• Students are encouraged t use their creative imagination and
powers of problem solving.

16. Positive Reinforcement
• This was the most important element of all.
• This occurs where there is clear and fair discipline where
students feel they belong and are able to participate.
• Direct and positive feedback has a positive effect with
student behaviour and praise needs to be specific,
spontaneous and varied.

17. Monitoring Progress
• Well-established mechanisms for monitoring the progress of pupils,
classes, the school as a whole, and improvement programmes are
important features.
• Monitoring by itself has little effect but is an important ingredient in
an effective school to determine school wide progress.
• Some schools misdirect teaching through too frequent monitoring
procedures.
• The key is appropriate monitoring with feedback. Evaluating school
progress is particularly important.

18. Pupils Rights and Responsibilities
• Research indicates that there are considerable gains
to be made when pupil self esteem is raised and
when they have an active role and have
responsibility for their own learning.

19. Home School Partnership
• Supportive relations and cooperation between home
and school have positive effects.
• Effective schools not only involve parents but also
make demands on them.
• The relationship between the individual teacher and
the parent(s) is critical.

20. A Learning Organisation
• Effective schools are learning organisations where all
aspects of the school are interrelated.
• To be effective development needs to be school based
and tailored to the specific needs of the school.
• There is value in embedding staff development within a
•collegial and collaborative planning and ensuring
ideas are shared

21. As we embark on this new academic journey Remember
Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that
causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path
and you will find you have crossed the mountain.
~Author Unknown

usefulness consists in the ability to stick to
one thing till it gets there. ~Josh Billings
