Educational Outcomes for Students Do Not Improve

Educational Outcomes for Students Do Not Improve

When principals do not create a positive high-expectations culture, it leads to lower educational outcomes for all students. 

The Problem is Compounded  

The following occurs:

• student outcomes do not improve 
• student outcomes vary widely depending on the expertise of the teacher 
• students do not have expectations set for them, so they start to disengage from learning 
• students also become complacent and do not strive for mastery as this has not been modelled for them 
• students cannot achieve mastery or catch up 
• students develop gaps in their understanding and need remediation 
• students do not make standard growth so fall behind 
• student mastery data stays the same or declines as issues related effective teaching are compounded 
• students behaving in an inappropriate manner increases. 

When the teaching team is not confident in their delivery of effective teaching techniques and practices, they cannot: 

• teach for the full timetabled period 
• complete lessons in standard time 
• meet standard lesson progress rate 
• achieve mastery with their students 
• address gaps in students learning, ensuring they are firm in their understanding of lesson content
• demonstrate mastery in mastery tests and checkouts.
