Resources RP #2
I have attached some resources here that I referred to at the June RP#2 meeting. the first is two articles from the ASCD Educational Leadership magazine (May 2011 vol. entitled Schools, Families, Communities) the other one is a few pages from a little book entitled "conditions that support transfer fro change' Valerie H. Moye. I think it might be out of print but the diagrams may be useful.Posted by Susan Impey.

It is important that the use of student voice is not an end in itself, but an effective practice for achieving access to and iprovimg student performance in NZC outcomes. This material was drawn together for Team Solutions by Dr Jenny Robertson.

The New Zealand Curriculum on-line
This site is constantly updated and provides a rich resource bank. Leaders of communities could both learn from the site themselves and encourage their members to learn from the site. We will try to keep you interested in the site by drawing your attention to resources we find interesting and useful.

E-Portfolios
**Why use e-portfolios? – seminar with Nick Rate** In this summary of his recent breakfast presentation on e-portfolios, Nick highlights how schools can be assisted to improve learning outcomes, enabling increased student engagement and success.

Many schools are using e-potfolios more, the best of them to help students, teachers, familes and whanau work together to develop the student as a learner. At the most recent meetings of PLG leaders, we gave you a link to primary and secondary stories about electronic portfolios, which many of you explored. What do you think of this presentation on the topic? What are you thinkinbg about e-portfolios?

Presentations:
There are some great presentations from key people in the NZC development process, like Rose Hipkins and other NZCER researchers. at []. Could your PLG watch together one of these presentations, chosen for its reelvance to the group's goal?
