National Partnership Agreements (NPA)
EMSAD is supporting the work of school in implementing the National Partnerships in NSW in a number of ways:
- Provision, processing and analysis of NPA assessments and NAPLAN
- Guidelines and extensive support materials for schools conducting self-evaluations
- SMART analysis training
- Integrating the school self-evaluations process within reporting in the Annual School Report
- Support in modifying the school plan for improvement and setting targets
- Development of the Data Analysis Skills Assessment (DASA)
Priority 3 Monitoring school and student performance to identify when support is needed
- Participating schools conduct an annual independent analysis of student performance using National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) data
- Analysis of student performance data will include locally developed assessment schedules and tools
- The self‐evaluation component involves participation in a supported self‐evaluation Review process
- Schools will undertake a situational analysis in literacy and/or numeracy, as appropriate, and subsequently in structured monitoring reviews and a final peer reviewed self‐evaluation
- These processes are intended to build schools' capacity to monitor school and student performance and to identify where focussed support is needed
- Having undertaken a supported self‐evaluation schools will be required to develop or amend a School Improvement Plan aimed at achieving improvements in the focus area, either reading or numeracy.
