 * **Cluster Success Indicators** || **Progress to date** || **Evidence** || **Next steps** ||
 * 1. Principals and school leaders will model a commitment to developing
 * Reflect on professional readings

 * Have ongoing reflective practice about e-learning developments in their school || I have started joining groups of interest 3 to be exact. I have commented on the home school partnership site.

I will run the staff through the VLN.

Read 2 readings from wiki. Got some really good ideas. Helped me realise I need to put time aside to read these.

Added my first blog post on the VLN asking about how best to do a search on the net. Also added the same post in professional learning group. Wasn't sure which would be more successful but that was the advice received from Tessa Gray.

Ideas for home school partnership e.g. office tv, emails to parents, community access to technology, coffee club, open day to see learning, students saying what they learned. || [] http://www.vln.school.nz/pg/groups/53307/elearning-teaching/ http://www.vln.school.nz/pg/groups/74810/home-school-partnerships/
