Community of Schools. Teacher (within school) role
Community of Schools. The parties note that the expression of interest form and Communities of Schools Guide for Schools and Kura has been published. The Ministry commits to consulting with PPTA and NZSTA before making any changes to these materials. All Communities of Schools need to ensure that their organisation and structure meet the criteria of a Community of Schools. These criteria are that they will include schools and/or kura representing the learning pathway of the student, be around ten schools, and it is expected that Communities of Schools will be geographically located. The Communities of Schools guide confirms that in limited and genuine circumstances there may be situations where a proposed Community of Schools cannot form within all of the standard criteria. Such circumstances may result in Communities of Schools, which cannot in themselves cover the whole learning pathway of the student, being considered in order to prevent students in those schools from being excluded from the educational benefits of the Investing in Educational Success initiative by local circumstances. The Ministry advises that in these situations, a proposed Community of Schools may still apply if, but not limited to, they can reasonably demonstrate that no alternative Community of Schools was currently viable for them within their geographic area. These special situations will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the Ministry of Education (see step three of the Communities of Schools Guide for Schools and Kura).
