This document discusses underperforming high schools in Gauteng East District. Some key points:
- The success rate of learners attaining what the education system promises is only 8.1%, with only 1 out of every 12 learners starting grade 1 attaining success.
- Schools are categorized into three levels of functionality - non-functioning, low-functioning, and high-functioning - based on how well they support learning.
- A questionnaire is used to assess different aspects of school functionality, such as school ethos, leadership, decision-making, relationships, and more. Results are analyzed to determine a school's overall functionality level.

Introduction
School improvement has important on schools, which are low-performing schools where the whole school should be turned toward another path. There are changes of ways and that a school can do with school improvement. Instructors, administrators, and parents are to set objectives to assist the school with improving each year on an institutionalize test and other test to contrast them and others school presentations. With the No Child Left behind Act in 2002 it expects leaders to take a gander at each child as people and as gatherings and not exactly at the aggregate school, making the act of ceaseless improvement for all students. Be that as it may, this Act has change and called Every Student Succeeds Act, it enable schools for more important adaptability to decide best interventions and improvement activities. For school improvement, information should be gathered to distinguish shortcoming and the qualities of a specific school. Instructors, staff, administrators and parents are partners they thought of a school improvement intend to upgrade student accomplishment in the classroom and to prepare instructional procedures for persuasive getting ready for school improvement.
School Reform
For a long time training, leaders have been pushing onto school regions school changes that don't hint at any working while at the same time giving short shrift to those that have a reputation of working. In the classroom there are such a large number of weaknesses and basic leadership that can be considered to improve student accomplishment and to help school improvement. School change or school upgrades results should be changed. Among a meeting with the standard of WASC team, they expressed that school improvement or school change is followed up on the coordinated effort on administrators, teachers, parents and students. Specialist assumes a critical job in the school. There are a few schools with various socioeconomics that can influence different results. Schools that demonstrated achievement grasps fundamental help and these backings are:
•
Leadership-Everyone in the school is a leader. An educator is the leader in the classroom. Parents are leaders at home and administrators are the leaders of an explicit school. Guideline sorted out their staffs and their locale resources in help of student learning. Whatever the guideline needs the school pursues, here and there initiative can be a reason for miscommunication, and they will simply accumulate information from educators and guardians yet they do not want to do with that information.
•
Improved people group ties the standard and school staff examines out and made school additionally inviting for parents and made connects to other network establishments. In an instruction framework the mission of the school isn't just done in the classrooms and the school itself. They need to als.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

16. Defining Dysfunctional schools
• Schools who continue to function, but do not accomplish the purpose
for which they were created;
• Schools exist to help each child realise his or her fullest potential as a
human being;
• Schools become dysfunctional when they stop serving the needs of the
individuals with them;
• School can take on a life of their own where their main objective
becomes self-preservation;
• One of the key indicators that a school has become dysfunctional is the
‘no talk rule’. Those within the school are not permitted, and do not
permit themselves, to speak (or even think) critically about the school
• Critical thinking begins with the question “why?” Why are we doing this?
Why are things arranged this way? Why do we do it this way and not that
way? These kinds of questions are not allowed in a dysfunctional group;
• The other indicator is the evolution of a priestly caste whose allegiance
is more strongly tied to the school than it is to the learners the school is
meant to serve - this means the teachers and administrators within the
school 16

• Ten critical questions for every school leader
1. Does every teacher teach everyday in every class for 196 school days in the year? [10]
2. Do you as school leader regularly observe teachers teaching in their classrooms? [10]
3. Do you spend at least 70% of your time in school on matters of teaching and learning?
[10]
4. Do you regularly visit parents of learners in their homes? [10]
5. Is your school consistently clean, ordered and well-decorated in ways that convey
positive sentiments about the learning environment? [10]
6. Do more than 95% of learners pass the highest grade in the school every year for the
past five years? [10]
7. Do more than 98% of learners enrolled attend school everyday? [10]
8. Does every learner have a textbook in every subject? [10]
9. Does your school bring in at least R100,000 every year in external (private) funds e.g.
the business community? [10]
10. In the case of High Schools, do at least 80% of your learners go on to
university/university of technology? In the case of Primary Schools, do all your
learners go on to high school?

What’s Stopping You?
Create a map of the design challenges in your way
Human capacity
– Adequacy of teacher workforce
– Adequacy of top and distributed team leadership
– Adequacy of outside support system (all partners and TA)
Operating conditions
– Freedom to act: authority over key resources (money, time, people,
programming) to make mission- and data-driven decisions
– Freedom from unproductive or overlapping compliance burdens
– Incentives that drive adult (and student) behavior
Resources
– Adequacy of time for learning
– Adequacy of time for teacher planning, collaboration, PD
– Adequacy of resource support in general (class size, facilities, etc.)

So: What would reform that incorporates
all three sides of the triangle look like?
The 3 ‘C’s of comprehensive, coherent,
transformative reform
1 Conditions Change the rules and incentives governing
people, time, money, & program
2 Capacity Build turnaround resources & human
capacity in schools and lead partners
3 Clustering Organize in clusters by region, need,
or type -- where new conditions apply
and states/districts create special
capacity
