Most urgent focus; next year staffing, budget etc.
What do we as a staff believe is our best use of resources, staff, technology, paint etc and list why or who will benefit by extra teacher aide hours?
What is your mission values statement. Can it be seen in your school?
Where does it fit into these questions?

I have 7 students a who are reading above fluent, completing their reading in less than the 35 minutes (usually 10-15 min) allocated. To extend them I was looking for alternative options, and saw milanote.
I have issued access to this app on the basis of creating a presentation on a topic of their choice using this app.
Next I'll need to put a time factor on it. At the moment they are seeing what they can do in this app.

Steve - Beginning Principal getting ready for ERO
My beginning principal adviser Cleve Shearer in his meeting with me today pointed out the necessity of looking at what the BOT members were doing in regard to self reviews?
He also pointed out the six sections of the ERO Board Assurance Statement and Self Audit Checklists that should be completed.
He asked if my BOT would be able to articulate their understandings of the school programmes/running and how we intended to meet the targets set.
I may have to look into this further in discussion with my BOT chair.
Next Step will be to ask the question of the BOT.
