Investigating the impact of cross-sector collaboration to improve numeracy progress.
In 2006, schools in Kaikohe came together to talk about the new New Zealand Curriculum document and its implications. The teachers split into learning areas to talk about their particular subjects. The discussion amongst the mathematics teachers resulted in the formation of a cluster group: the Kaikohe Mathematics Cluster (KMC).
Their stated mission was ‘to raise achievement in mathematics for all students in Kaikohe’. The kaupapa was to ‘throw no stones’: rather than blaming others or criticising, the group agreed to work together, develop a shared language and try to be active in improving numeracy outcomes for their students.
Communication between schools and the sharing of ideas and knowledge were the central concepts.
