Invite to Discussion:
What is data collection? What kinds of ways can we collect data? How can we make data collection processes easier? What does evidence show? How can we analyse this?

As we are expected to show shifts and change and evidence of this in terms of ICT and the impact on student learning, there too is a real need to understand what is relevant data, how can it be collected and analsyed to to show shifts and change. A link to the following might be useful when preparing [|milestone reports]. I anyone else has anything interesting to share as well, this would be greatly appreciated.



8/11/06 =Budgets are a priority area to think about in term 4.=

For Exiting Clusters:
In terms of the budget, the Ministry requires an overview document (see attached cashflow sample) as well as an itemised review of expenditure for each of the 5 areas of the contract ( see listed below) and for each of the years of the contract. In each case 2004,2005,2006 + proportional 2007

1. Income 2. Prof fees 3. Prof Costs 4. Op Costs 5. TRD's

Some previous clusters have also laid out their documentation in a spreadsheet as follows:

Column 1 - Number allocated to invoice Column 2 - Description of payment ( ie travel/course rego etc not cheque numbers) Column 3 - Month actual Column 4 - YTD actual Column 5 - Annual Budget figure Column 6 - Budget variance Column 7 - % budget spent

Totals.........

School accounts close off on the 31st December usually there will be a printout for 2004 a print out for 2005 and a print out for 2006 and then a small print out for 2007 with the remainder of expenditure until the milestone Feb 1 2007 date.

**For continuing Clusters:**
To calculate the new disbursement figures, use the actual expenditure for Yr 1 in the first column, allocate any remaining funding unspent into the second column, then double the figures for the Yr 2 budget in the third column to represent the next two years, and add across the rows. Make any adjustments to get to $320,000 plus GST, and these are figures you use in the costs section of your variation.


 * Categories || Actual for YR1 || Allocate any Surplus from YR1 || Budget for 2006 X2 || New Disbursement Figure ||

 * Prof Costs ||  ||   ||   ||   ||
