SDP element #10
|
The state at any one time
of student well-being across the school student population and the
effectiveness of the monitoring of this #1 priority SE criterion.
|
Aligned SE criterion
|
Criterion #1: My school respects me every day.
Criterion #2: My school
helps me to be fit and healthy and to feel good about myself.
Criterion #3: My teacher(s) talk to me personally each
week.
Criterion #18: We laugh a
lot in our school.

Current school
documentation and situation
|
· To this point the school has relied on a given (a
hope) that effective teaching based on core teaching principles documented
and well understood by all will result in a high level of student well-being.
· We don’t believe we have a student well-being
problem of any serious magnitude but we still have students who are unsettled
and appear to have blocks to their learning.
· We need to be sure that every student feels safe and
comfortable at school. We want a regular
and rigorous hard evidence-based picture of how well we are doing.
· We have no substantial well-being policy
documentation.
|
Development objective(s)
for 2016
|
This is the major development area for
the school in 2016.
· Create a first draft policy about student well-being
inclusive of the indicators of optimum well-being such as a sense of safety,
security, being wanted, being respected.
· Trial instruments for measuring student well-being.
· Trial the frequency of making the assessments such
that we have a regular picture of the well-being of all our students.
· Decide who is best to make the assessments.
· Set a target of 98% of students with a high
well-being rating at any one time.
· Adjust the physical education program to focus on
the personal fitness and self image approach.
· Adjust the performing arts program to bring a focus
on this as a means of building self confidence.
· Update and create new elements in the SE data base
in respect of the aligned SE criterion.

Resources needed
· people
· money
· time
· location
· stationery
· IT
|
· A researcher (possibly a PhD student) from the UWA
Faculty of Education. The whole staff cohort.
· Allow $4,000.00 to enable the attainment of the
above objectives.
· In – service time as decided by the researcher.
· At the school.
· IT as needed to be provided by the researcher and
the school.
|
Timeline to achieve the
objectives
|
Initial work in 2016 with a
view to embedding in the school culture by the end of 2017.
|
Process for achieving the
objectives
|
Prepare the staff for a
researcher presence and let the researcher tackle the attainment of the
objectives.
|
Outcomes of the assessment
of the attainment of the objective(s)
|
· The measuring instruments are ‘valid’ and
‘reliable’.
· Teachers report that the well-being assessment tasks
are manageable within their normal timetables and that the new demands in
physical education and performing arts are achievable.
· The data from the well-being assessments indicates
the % of students with a high well-being rating.
· Actions are taken to remediate if data suggests
there is well-being shortfall from the 98% target.
· The SE data base informs about student well-being

Here the SDP shows change in action in order to develop a more effective school.
May the Force be with you!
