Creating a Culture of Continuous Improvement: A Practical Framework for Leading Learning
Sustaining meaningful improvement in today’s schools requires more than isolated initiatives—it requires a clear, evidence-informed approach to teaching, learning and leadership. In this highly practical workshop, internationally recognised educator Eric Sheninger introduces the PIEG Framework, a powerful model for driving continuous improvement across classrooms, teams and whole schools.
Designed for school leaders and educators, this session explores how to strengthen teaching practice by aligning learning intentions with curriculum expectations, implementing high-impact instructional strategies, using evidence to inform next steps, and embedding professional reflection as part of everyday practice.
Drawing on current research and practical examples, Eric will demonstrate how leaders can create the conditions for continuous improvement while supporting teachers to make informed decisions that improve outcomes for all learners.
Participants will leave with practical tools and a clear roadmap that can be adapted to their own school context.
Participants will learn how to:
- Design learning experiences with clear learning intentions, success criteria and purposeful progression aligned to the New Zealand Curriculum.
- Implement evidence-informed teaching strategies that maximise learner engagement, build thinking and support diverse learning needs.
- Use formative assessment and other sources of evidence to evaluate the impact of teaching and identify next learning steps.
- Foster a culture of professional inquiry, collaboration and continuous improvement across teams and schools.
- Lead sustainable change by using a simple, practical framework that keeps the focus on improving learner outcomes.
Whether you are leading a classroom, a curriculum area or an entire school, this workshop will provide practical strategies and leadership tools to help build a culture where every learner—and every educator—continues to grow.
