Inquiry question#1(Part1)

 I have been working with year 11 ( lower and top band), Year 12, and year 13 calculus pathways over 

past years so this year I have decided to turn my inquiry to work on the Statistical pathway. 

Our school goal for this year:

Goal 1: Maori Achievement

That 85% of Maori students will achieve NCEA Level 2.                                                                                                                                              

Goal 2: Pasifika Achievement

85% of Pasifika students will achieve NCEA Level 2.

Our Mathematics Department goal for this year is:

Curriculum Level (PAT: stanine 4-6 or higher). 

Goal 2 That at least 80% of Year 11 students will achieve NCEA Numeracy.

Goal 3: 60% of Year 12 Pacifica students will achieve 14+ credits

Goal 4: 60% of Year 12 Maori students will achieve 14+ credits

Goal 5: Year 13s to leave college with sufficient Maths skills to get into their chosen vocational pathway.

As an assistant HOLA,  my goal is to raise achievement in year12 and year 13. By looking at above 

goals, I have decided to focus on year 12 students to make a powerful contribution to my school’s 

goals, the department’s goals, and my Inquiry goal.

Collaborating:

I spoke to 3 members of middle management, the Deputy Principal, and Dr Jannie to discuss 

my inquiry. I will be working with all these people and below are some considerations they 

provided me.

After meeting the above leaders I feel inspired to take on this inquiry.
