Blackboard Analytics for Learn @JCU – a proactive approach to the use of data...Blackboard APAC
Committed to providing a supportive and safe educational environment that fosters student engagement and success, James Cook University (JCU) has taken a proactive approach to the use of data in a dual-pronged approach to improve the student experience and curriculum design. Blackboard Analytics for Learn is a key tool within these initiatives. Analytics for Learn provides real-time data that can be used by staff in a variety of roles to support student success. This presentation will outline how JCU is adapting Analytics for Learn, including discussion of initial customisations made to 'out-of-the-box' reports and the development of personalised dashboards, as well as providing an overview of the coordinated approach to the staged 'roll-out' and adoption of reports and dashboards.
Delivered at Innovate and Educate: Teaching and Learning Conference by Blackboard. 24 -27 August 2015 in Adelaide, Australia.

Project Two
Educational Vision
I. Overview
Mentoring programs, as well as peer coaching within schools have proven to be valuable for both teachers and administrators. With the implementation of the New York State Common Core Learning Standards (CCLS), administrators no longer have the time to work with all members of the staff.
By creating a new teacher induction program, new teachers will be offered support and guidance instructionally, socially and emotionally. This direct assistance from an experienced teacher to a new teacher will be provided for one school year.
II. Relevant Data
a. Consult with new hires and survey the areas in which they feel require improvement.
b. Research strategies and resources for new teachers to receive necessary support.
c. Pair new teachers with a senior teacher to mentor them.
d. Surveys/feedback from new hires and summary of research strategies to improve new teacher effectiveness.
e. Train mentors to offer support and guidance.
III. Diverse Educational Setting
a. Different grade levels – High school grades 9-12
b. Different disciplines – All pedagogical, guidance and support staff
c. Work with a social service, private, or community organization – Network 603, Community board, UFT, NYC DOE
IV. ISLLC Standards
a. Standard 1.0: Candidates who complete the program are educational leaders who have the knowledge and ability to promote the success of all students by facilitating the development, articulation, implementation, and stewardship of a school or district vision of learning supported by all stakeholders.
b. Standard 2.0: Candidates who complete the program are educational leaders who have the knowledge and ability to promote the success of all students by advocating, nurturing, and sustaining a school culture and instructional program conducive to student learning and staff professional growth.
Template for BINDER #2: EDUCATIONAL VISION PROJECT
1. Describe the nature of the project that you accomplished which supported an educational vision.

3. Design a strategic communication system that will be used to disseminate the information in your project to all stakeholders.
4. Submit your goals for improving curriculum, instruction and/or assessment practices.
5. Describe how your project was supported or hindered by existing “structural” aspects of the school or district, such as, professional development, scheduling, policies and budgeting.

Can we do it without school principals’ commitment? Exploring the complex imp...Frederic Fovet
There has been a growing interest for Universal Design for Learning (UDL) as a framework for inclusion in both the K-12 and post-secondary sectors over the last decade, and this momentum has been noticeable globally. The body of literature which evidences the pedagogical benefits of UDL implementation for the inclusion of diverse learners is now broad and diversified. There is also growing interest in examining UDL implementation from a leadership and administrative perspective, examining it as a management of change process. In the K-12 sector, this scholarship is not as developed as it could be if it is going to effectively support and guide the efforts of teachers as they attempt to scale up their initiatives and achieve sustainable integration across schools. There are many variables teachers seeking to adopt UDL have to battle with, and the roles and positions of school principal is a factor often cited.
This presentation will explore in an interactive format the much under-researched impact of the know-how, disposition, and commitment of school principals towards UDL integration. An awareness of this variable and its impact is crucial when designing future blueprints for the effective growth of UDL across schools. The session will be run in a workshop format that will encourage participants to share their experiences authentically and to build on some of the frustrations that will be expressed about the frequent ambivalence of school leaders in the process of UDL growth. The anticipated outcomes are as follows. Participants will:
- Reflect on the impact of school leadership on the success of UDL implementation
- Examine the resources and training school principals are in need of to more effectively support UDL initiatives
- Explore the challenges faced by school principals when trying to support UDL projects, within a wider landscape of neoliberal pressures
