ERO visit this week

On July 24-27th Cluster 7 underwent an ERO review.  This ERO review is taking place across all 40 RTLB clusters and the results will be amalgamated in a written report in 2018. Verbal feedback was given to Wendy Kofoed, Gayle Hackwell (chairperson of Newmarket BOT) and Julia Langford.

We were thrilled with their exceedingly positive report about Cluster 7.  Much of their feedback was based on consistent reporting from Principals, SENCO, the RTLB team and the Management Team.  

Just to give you an idea of their summary here are some key points;

• Our adherence to national and Ministry of Education Priorities
• Equitable distribution of cases and quick response to referral requests
• Internal evaluation supported by evidence analysis and identification of next steps.
• Clear open communication so that schools are well informed about the service
• Strength of the RTLB liaison role
• Professionalism of the RTLB and the valuable classroom experience and leadership qualities of the RTLB team
• Consistency of RTLB practice across schools
• Cohesive strong management team
• Website well designed and easy to navigate
• Quality and use of our office for both RTLB and schools
• Proactive service with effective projects which are inclusive and innovative.
• RTLB service driven by student outcomes
• Networking and information opportunities for SENCO

We look forward to continuing our support with your schools and your feedback is always important.
