6.2.3 A. National Programme Goal 1. Implement the New Zealand Curriculum/Te Marautanga o
Aotearoa through the use of e-learning
You need to provide evidence from each of the schools in your cluster. Whe n providing links to material posted
online you should provide:
● explicit URL’s to online evidence that supports what you have written above
● a short written description of what evidence you think the link provides
● usernames and passwords if they are required to view the evidence
Each school is to provide evidence of how they have reviewed their curriculum for learning with ICT, and also their
next steps for development. E.g. Lauriston. These to be uploaded to the Ashburton ICT wiki – Evidence –
Curriculum Rev
Each school is to provide 1-2 examples of teachers’ planning of integrated themes or inquiry approaches that show
the development of key competencies and integration of ICT. These to be uploaded to the Ashburton ICT wiki –
Evidence – Teacher Planning
Allenton School
A day is planned to work with E-time in December to review and update implementation of the key
competencies in our everyday curriculum. Also to line them up with school values and principles and
how we assist students to self monitor their progress on the key competencies.
In term 3 we developed an inquiry rubric to assist with our inquiry planning. This was developed with the
staff and it is now included in our curriculum. We also reflected on our planning process and decided as
staff to trial planning as a syndicate rather than in a planning team. This is being trailed in Term 4.
Ashburton Borough
Ashburton Borough School is running a concept based inquiry programme (based on the PYP / IBO curriculum)
with a focus on transdisciplinary themes and skills (competencis), higher level thinking. Purposeful integration of
ICT tools is becoming embedded in classroom programmes..

6.2.3 B. National Programme Goal 2. Increase capability of teachers and principals to improve
students’ learning and achievement through e-learning
● Schools are shifting cumulative data onto online environments such as School Master
● Lead teachers are continuing to model effective use of ICT for teaching, learning and administration.
● Across cluster schools students are being given more opportunities to select appropriate ICT tools to
enhance their learning. This has been lead by teachers and an overall result of three years of intensive PD.
● Students who have been through the three years of PD have experienced and are independently using a
variety of ICT tools e.g. digital cameras, video technology, data projectors and IWB.
● Further uptake of Web 2 tools has created the opportunity for students to learn anywhere anytime. This has
lead to more authentic learning experiences and enabled students to reflect on their learning and share
what they are doing with whanau.
● Cluster schools are finding that their students are becoming more proactive in their approach to their
learning. They can customise the learning to suit them.
● Students are becoming more socially aware as a result of inquiry and enterprise type learning and this has
lead to them leading social action within their community.
● Qualitative and quantitative data is being gathered in each school which shows that student learning and
achievement is being raised.
Leaders and teachers are using ICT effectively for the purpose of teaching, learning and administration.
The two lead teacher practicums held in the first half of this year with our eTime facilitator were focused on
advanced skills geared to the lead teacher’s professional development – providing new ideas (to meet the cluster
leaders’ goal to “Introduce lead teachers to new teaching tools: The expectation was that lead teacher(s) take these
new ideas, skills and tools back to their schools for implementation.) The software covered, focused on tools that
could be used in action research work and to gather student voice, i.e. vocaroo, xtranormal, Myna, mind mapping
etc. The sessions were useful, in terms of tools for the action research and were passed on to teaching staff, some
of whom used the ideas in their classroom teaching for the research project. The final session in Term 3 was
geared towards sustainability and covered/revisited use of our wiki space, voice thread, blogs, google docs and
various other collaborative web 2 tools.
The in school support day for the lead teachers was particularly useful in terms of guidance for leading the action
research in our school and continuing development in the use of xtranormal, movie maker and interviewing
techniques. Other staff also benefited from time spent with Danny (eTime facilitator) looking at effective ways of
recording and using student voice and incorporating thinking skills into the writing programme.
Danny (eTime facilitator) has kept things enjoyable and practical and has provided a wealth of ideas and support
throughout the three years of our contract. He has been great to work with and has made a big difference for many
staff members as they have taken on the challenges of being part of an ICT Contract. He has set the Lead
Teachers up well for continuing without him and sustaining the momentum and collaboration started within the
cluster.
