The average effect size is 0.4, a marker that represents a year’s growth per year of schooling for a student. Anything above 0.4 would have a greater positive effect on student learning. Using the calculation of Effect Size, we are able to see the progress a student or group of students are making from one set time compared to another set time in the same environment using the same assessment tool or tools.
2024
Mid Year Comparison to End of 2023
On average students made 0.29 progress in Writing, 0.40 progress in Reading, and 0.73 progress in Maths according to Effect Size calculations in each area in as little as 6 months with structured learning programs.
End of 2024
On average students made 0.34 progress in Writing, 1.08 progress in Reading, and 1.07 progress in Maths according to Effect Size calculations in each area in a 12 month period of time with structured learning programs being the focus for accelerating learning.
Our aim was to have 60% ākonga achieving across the 3 main learning areas, Reading, Writing and Maths. At the end of 2023, our data was: Maths 33% Reading 48% Writing 9%. Our main focuses for 2024 were Reading and Mathematics with the implementation of Structured Literacy and PR1ME Maths. By having good classroom routines, consistent expectations, and following structured learning approaches, we were able to achieve the following achievement results:
Mathematics 76% achieving at or above (43% increase)
Reading 53% achieving at or above (5% increase)
Writing 47% achieving at or above (38% increase)
