The Network Model

In 2011 a ‘new’ model for school improvement was rolled out across 23 schools in the Billabong Network in regional Victoria. This chapter considers a network-led model of school improvement, its development, adjustment and implementation across the Billabong Network. Key elements of this model included: school improvement plans negotiated between school principals and the network, the planning for change implementing successive short cycle initiatives, all based on the use of student data to drive change processes. Capacity building was understood to be central to the success of the processes, and took a number of forms including identifying the skill/needs within a school relative to their school improvement goals and providing opportunities for ongoing professional learning to key staff so as to address these needs. The role of the regional network leader and the effects of mandated use of a template in the planning process is considered.
