The Northern Pike Experiment
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
They used a fish tank capable of being divided in half by a
clear glass partition.
A number of small fish (food) were placed in the other half.
The pike repeatedly crashed its snout to get to the small
fish.
After a time, the pike gave up having learnt it was of no
use.
The experimenter then removed the clear glass partition.
The small fish continued to swim in one half and the pike in
the other, making no attempt to cross the other half of the
tank.
What the pike experienced in the past dictated how it
reacted in the future.
Are you a Northern Pike?

Grizzly
Story
• An
American took his Japanese friend for a ride
•
•
•
•
•
through the woods.
The vehicle broke down and they decided to walk.
After some time they were confronted by a big
Grizzly bear.
The Japanese started taking his takkies out of his
bag.
The American said: “Hey, that won’t help - you
can’t out-run a Grizzly bear.”
To which the Japanese replied: ”I don’t have to outrun the bear -‐
all
I
have
to
do
is
to
out-‐run
you.”

10% - 90% Balance
Life
is
10%
of
what
happens
to
you
(problems),
and
90%
of
how
you
respond
to
it
(solu,ons).

‘Shifting Paradigm’ vs
‘Paradigm Shift’
Quite often people talk about “shifting
the paradigm” when what they really
mean is an alternative answer or way
of explaining solutions to problems
using the same but slightly changed
concepts, approaches, constructs or
methods.

Knots by R.D. Lange
There is something I don’t know
That I am suppose to know
I don’t know what it is I don’t know
And yet I am suppose to know
And I feel I look stupid
If I seem both not to know it
And not know what it is I don’t know
Therefore I pretend to know it
This is nerve-racking since I don’t know
What I must pretend to know
Therefore, I pretend I know everything.

Principles
of
School
Turnaround
Strategy
1. All
learners
were
created
to
be
SUCCESSFUL,
and
therefore
no
learner
should
fail;
2. The
academic
ability
of
learners
is
not
linked
to
their
economic,
social
and
cultural
status
in
society
(poor
learners
can
perform
at
same
level
as
middle-‐class
and
rich
learners);
3. The
biggest
challenges
in
School
Turnaround
require
Adults
to
Change
(Thinking
and
Doing)
–
reconnect
them
with
the
dreams
of
learners;
4. Move
away
for
the
Deficit
Thinking
Model,
and
the
VicFm
Mentality
Approach;
5. Restructuring
the
current
educa,on
models
that
are
resul,ng
in
DysfuncFonal-‐by-‐design
and
Success-‐linked-‐
to-‐social-‐status
(un-‐
and
under-‐qualified
and
poorly
performing
teachers
are
teaching
in
these
schools).

“Children walking through the Gate”
Preferred Children
Reality Children
1. Country club kids
1. Township and working-class kids
2. Above the railway lines – rich
suburbs
2. Below the railway lines – squatter camps,
low-income housing, unemployed parents
3. Traditional family (both parents)
3. Today’s family (single or child headed)
4. Parents/family took care of them
4. Early on learning to fend for themselves
5. Have ‘talk shows’ stories
5. They have counter-stories (News bulletin)
6. Protected by the family/parents
6. Grow up on the very dark side of life
7. They are easy to teach
7. They are not the easiest to teach
8. They have long-term dreams
8. They have potential, if you believe it
9. They are predictable, sable
9. They are unpredictable, volatile
10. Their future are positively
preordained
10. Their future can or can’t be negatively or
positively preordained, depending on us

Feedback
from
Principal
of
JOTHS
• Our
learners
lack
direc,on;
• They
see
schooling
as
a
phase
that
they
need
to
pass
through;
• And
therefore
they
put
in
limle
effort,
just
to
pass;
• We
have
spoken
about
learners’
dreams,
but
found
it
difficult
to
have
a
process
around
it;
• We
have
now
embarked
on
the
construc,on
of
a
Learner
Expecta,on
and
Achievement
Agreement;
• The
LEAA
is
a
structured
way
of
gecng
learners
to
announce
their
dreams
and
to
work
towards
achievement
them;
• I
can
already
sense
the
posi,veness
among
the
learners;
• And
I
am
confident
that
this
ini,a,ve
is
going
to
make
a
big

difference
in
their

from

Learner
at

• In
2012,
the
LEAA
was
introduced
in
our
school;
• At
that
,me,
I
thought
that
I
already
have
goals
and
dreams;
• But
when
I
wrote
them
down;
• I
realised
that
I
have
been
chea,ng
myself
for
the
past
5
years;
• By
compromising
them
since
no-‐one
else
knew
about
my
dreams;
• I
realised
that
I
am
capable
of
so
much
more;
• My
marks
improved
dras,cally;
• This
ini,a,ve
really
changed
my

• Describe the Content to be taught
• Indicate the Source where information came from
• Identify Other sources where content can be sought from, and consider sources presenting
alternative perspectives, methods, approaches, etc. on the same content
• Indicate the Scope, Depth and Breath of the content to be covered (indicate how long
teaching will take, of the period time)
• Indicate whether Pre-knowledge is necessary
• Indicate whether Pre-engagement from learners is necessary
• Identify the Teaching method [13] (teacher and/or learners centred) to be followed (lecture,
demonstration, tell a story, whole-class discussion, visual display, role play, small group
discussion, visit, project work, library search investigation, practical work, self-study)
• Identify the particular practice of skill to be followed such as Homework – indicate to learners
what the approximate length of time they should take to complete task (ensure a consistent
space where homework assignment is noted in writing). Consider a ‘homework Roster’ for
the class, grade or school. Types of homework (preparation tasks – learners gaining
background information; practice exercises – to apply, review, revise and reinforce new
knowledge; creative homework – learners integrate multiple concepts and develop critical
thinking and problem solving skills, which is open-ended questions and long-term projects with
choice for learners; extension assignments – learners to pursue knowledge individually and
imaginatively, which allows for class work and real world to connect)
• Identify Length of teaching, learning, and formative assessment per lesson and/or per week
• Identify Practical examples, simulations, symbolism, etc. that will be utilised (connect
theory and practice – real life experiences)

• How can learners be engaged
meaningfully and effectively beyond active
participation and time-on-task?
• Learners learn better when engaged (shifting
meaning – “sit still and listen”);
• Engage is the extent to which learners are
cognitively, physically and emotionally
connected with what they are doing;
• Level of learner engagement is impacted by
the design and execution of the teaching and
learning activities, strategies and methods;
• From minimum compliance to total
engagement.

• How can teachers function as truly inspirational
leaders in their classrooms with their learners
and learner learning?
• Inspire learners to action, to results, to achieve;
• Learning with hope, inspire them to belief in their ability to
turn dreams into reality;
• Speak of possibility;
• Give of themselves, but also take care of themselves;
• Are in tune with the classroom – operate with empathy
and compassion – create joy, fun and sense of belonging
with boundaries and limits;
• Healthy relationship between teacher and learners –
genuine caring and high expectations – won’t let them ‘off
the hook’ – balance between pressure and nurture;
• Best relationships: celebrate achievements; maintain
standards; expect success; demand excellence; coach to
excellence; empower; meet needs; support individually.

• Concept of assessment might be the most misunderstood concept
in schooling – it is assessment when the marks are changeable!
• Has shifted from a ‘teaching tool’ to a ‘documentation
tool’ (evaluation);
• We can’t fatten cows by weighing them. But we should weigh
them to assess and adjust how we are feeding them until they
meet the ‘fat’ standard.
• Effective teachers use assessment to gather information in order
to determine what next steps are necessary to ensure the learners
meet the desired standards and outcomes;
• Teaching process: explain what is to be learned; explain why
success in learning is important; model what is to be learned; ask
a friend to see how well the learning is happening; provide
additional modeling; one more time see how well you can do it;
repeat last two steps until satisfied and then get tested!

• How are on-going, classroom formative and summative

14. Final Expectation
• Most teachers focus on teaching the curriculum rather than
ensuring that learners learn well;
• Written, Taught and Assessed curriculum;
• Test scores are actually a reflection on us more than the
learners;
• Only a portion of content we teach is likely to be of long-term
importance;
• What learners know is more important than How much they
know;
• Choose how much of time is used for teaching;
• Choose how much emphasis – push heavily and gloss over;
• Different assessment methods in terms of the levels of Bloom;
• When using multiple choice, true-false and matching
assessment methods, ensure that learners are not ‘guessing’
correctly/wrongly – ensure sound argument supporting their
determination, as well as why each distractor is incorrect;

• In the real world, almost every activity, apart from lifethreatening events, allow for a second chance – drivers
license (How many of you have failed your drivers license
test? How many times? Are those people who got their
license first, better drivers than you?);
• Second chance opportunities are invested with real learning;
• But second chance opportunities must make a difference;
• Should be the ownership of the learner, not the teacher;
• Technology gives us the opportunity to generate second
chance opportunities;
• It has to be built into the learning system of the school;
• The worry that SCO will be used and abused by learners is
unfounded, although any new system will go through
challenges during introduction phase.

lessons to learners, that they might not get it

• Track the progress of the learners on a regular
basis;
• Must attach a verbal explanation to grades –
Learner Feedback Sheet (to learners) and Teacher
Feedback Sheet (to HoDs);
• Ensure that ‘grading’ means something between
different teachers, and subjects;
• Grades must be ‘tools for learners’ and not for
teachers;
• Work on a “value added” approach to grading
(AYP);
• Ensure an efficient and effective Recording Keeping
system;
• Grades are ‘a moments reflection’ of what a learner
knew, at a particular time, given a particular test – it
does not represent the ‘worth’ of the learners. 93
