Curriculum Leadership: Podcast 5 - How schools monitor, notice, and respond to progress using the new curriculum

This is the fifth and final episode in a special five-part Leading Curriculum podcast series, sitting alongside a range of curriculum leadership resources available on Tāhūrangi. This series features principals across a range of contexts talking about how they are making curriculum implementation work in their setting. For more resources, visit Curriculum Leadership PLD resources for English Medium. In this episode, we explore how schools track and analyse the impact of curriculum implementation and change. We discuss how leaders are creating clarity around learning intentions and success criteria, and how formative assessment (notice, recognise, and respond), keeps assessment embedded in everyday teaching, and how professional growth cycles, inquiry, and observation are used to evaluate the quality and consistency of teaching. Our guests share how they strategically use tools, processes, data, and information to measure the impact of change and improvement for both learning and teaching. Hosted by Lisa Morresey, Leadership Consultant at Evaluation Associates | Te Huinga Kākākura Mātauranga. Our guests are: Denise Horley, Principal of Sandspit Road School | Te Kura o Rangiaawhea Abby Honey, Deputy Principal Curriculum at Northern Health School
