 In our school, I think that the strength, the main strength of the master teacher has been the short-sharp focus that he's developed. So he's taken a targeted approach to solving a small problem and then he's been able to roll that out with teachers in a really practical way. So rather than looking at a large problem and not being able to see a solution for it, he's been able to take something really concrete and have a definite impact really quickly. Working with the leadership team initially starts with looking at the explicit improvement agenda and then how I can best fit into what our key goals are and how as we're around the upper two bands around literacy and making improvement and impact there. So from there we looked at the action plan and how that fed into the explicit improvement agenda so that we could really hone in and focus and target and I guess if there was three aspects the third one would be that we essentially monitored and tracked that through line manager meetings with my deputy so we're able to keep the progress going as well. He's also able to provide that role of critical friend feedback coaching for teachers so that we can improve teacher capacity as well as the outcomes that students achieve and it's been really wonderful for him to be able to work with NAPLAN data, work towards better QCS results and basically we've seen an increase straight away for our school based on the work that he's done with teachers and students. The master teacher role, there's a lot of exciting elements about it and I think the biggest one is the fact that you get the chance to actually help your colleagues. When you first step away from the classroom it's a little bit difficult to get used to not helping children but when you have that cognitive shift and you start realizing that you actually get to help the people that help the children that's pretty cool too and that's really exciting. Doing the action research project and all the research that we've been doing this year has also been incredibly exciting because it gives you the chance finally because we all have our own opinions and think if I was in charge I'd do it this way and finally we get the chance to actually do that research and see if the theory actually matches the practice. But honestly I think also the fact that we get to feed that research back into the system and somehow not only help the kids in our school, the teachers in our school but teachers across the state, like to me that is very exciting. I hope in my role as master teacher to lift the stamina of writing in my school across year 7 to 12, I hope to improve the grade readability of their writing and so lift that at least a year from where they are to where they actually should be and beyond and I hope also in my capacity to actually iterate a lot of great ideas to teachers. I think the main way that our system benefits from master teachers in general is the fact that each master teacher can have a localised solution to problems so it's not a one size fits all and the main thing is that he really keeps the student at the centre of all of the work that he does so it's definitely a student-centred approach to improving student outcomes.
