Session  5  Why  the  need  to  Change?  Turnaround  strategy,  and  

one  example  from  a  current  project  

Turnaround  Framework  

1.  We  are  in  trouble!;  2.  What  is  going  on?;  3.  What  should  have  happened?;  4.  Our  new  operaCon  behaviour,  and  the  

related  consequences  for  ‘not  responding’.

We  are  in  trouble!  

•  We  need  to  do  things  differently:  – Doing  more  of  the  same;  – Doing  the  same  more  efficiently;  – Doing  things  totally  differently.  

•  Could  be  a  combinaCon  of  all  three,  or  one  could  be  dominant;  

•  This  is  all  about  the  ‘ownership’  that  is  needed  to  make  the  turnaround.  

Three  Levels  of  ExpectaCons  

•  Adhere  to  the  compliance  requirements,  such  as  the  80%  learner  achievement  level  (bojom  25%);  

•  To  be  compeCCve  in  order  to  be  part  of  those  bejer  that  the  average  (mediocre)  (middle  50%);  

•  To  be  part  of  the  top  performers  (top  25%).

Four  levels  of  School  FuncConality  1.   High  performing  schools  –  all  learners  are  passing;  it  

more  about  how  they  pass  (top  20%  of  schools);  2.   Under-­‐performing  schools  –  the  success  of  learners  is  

’50-­‐50’  (next  50%  of  schools  -­‐  perform  between  50%  and  79%);  

3.   Dysfunc.onal  schools  –  majority  of  learners  fail  at  these  schools  (next  20%  of  schools  –  perform  between  30%  and  49%);  

4.   Chao.c  schools  –  most  of  the  learners  fail  at  these  schools  (next  10%  of  schools  –  performance  between  0%  and  29%).

4.1.4  Levels  of  OperaCon  1800  hours    

•  High  FuncConing  schools  =  1800  hours  +;  •  Under-­‐performing  schools  =  1800  hours  (work  to  rule);  

•  DysfuncConal  schools  =  1800  hours  -­‐;  •  ChaoCc  schools  =  1400  hours  -­‐.  

4.1.5  LegislaCve  Confusion  

•  1800  hours  per  annum  (PAM);  •  200  school  days  per  annum;  •  27.5  hours  (Secondary  schools)  noConal  hours  per  week;  

•  7  hours  (at  least)  per  day  (Employment  of  Educators  Act);  

•  5.5  hours  teaching  Cme  per  day.

•  Outcome  of  the  turnaround  is  achievable.  

•  Visibility  of  the  educaConal  leaders  passionate  about  the  turnaround;  

•  Staff  members  are  parCcipaCng  and  impacCng  on  the  turnaround  process;  

•  All  the  stakeholders  know  ‘what’s  in  it  for  me?’,  and  acknowledge  and  know  it.

Conclusion  –  IntegraCng  Challenges  •  Learners  –  creaCng  a  dream,  not  a  ‘pass’  (below  or  above  50%);  

•  Learners  –  focusing  on  the  achievement  of  their  dream  (assisCng  them,  not  our  image);  

•  Teachers  –  relaConship  agreement  between  teachers  and  learners  (engagement  based  on  an  agreement);  

•  Teachers  –  assisCng  learners  to  achieve  their  dream,  not  theirs;  

•  Principals  –  know  what  they  are  ‘producing’  at  the  school;  •  Principal  –  encourage  and  ensure  conCnuum  from  school  to  ‘next  step  towards  dream’;  

•  District  –  would  know  what  they  are  ‘producing’  within  the  circuit,  district,  etc.;  

•  District  –  plan  accordingly  to  deliver  on  the  aspiraCons.

Key  QuesCons  

1.  IdenCfy  the  learning  that  took  place.  2.  IdenCfy  what  will  be  done  since  we  know  

more  about  the  issue.  3.  What  are  we  going  to  do  MORE,  BETTER,  and  

DIFFERENTLY?  4.  How  do  we  keep  each  other  accountable?  5.  What  should  life  (the  school)  be  like  this  Cme  

next  year?
