A message from Tracey:
Getting a good sense of how strong our buzz is (Is it a buzz? A hum? Or are those just crickets chirping?) can be a challenge when we’re sitting in the middle of it. To gauge what is going on we need to sit back and reflect on ourselves and our school.

‘The Buzz’ Diagnostic will guide your reflection. It has been undertaken by over 9500 educators and support staff over the last three years, giving great insights into school culture, as well as giving benchmarks for each school. It is suggested that schools undertake the diagnostic annually to monitor the growth in their professional learning culture.

The Buzz Diagnostic, when undertaken by the members of your staff, will give you insight into how they see The Buzz at your school. Individual staff members assess their individual contribution to the three pillars of The Buzz, as well as how they perceive the school as a whole.

It asks about three core areas of learning intelligence: mindset, environment and belief.

· Mindset. The way people in the learning community think.

· Environment. The actions a learning community takes to stimulate professional learning.

· Dialogue. The quality of the conversations learning communities have.

In each of these areas, there are some questions about how you feel as an individual educator, and how you feel as an educator within your school community.

When you’ve finished the Buzz Diagnostic, you will receive an individual report with feedback on important actions for your professional reflection practices. If your school is participating in a whole school diagnostic, they will receive an aggregate summary report, however individual responses will still be kept confidential as your responses will be collated with feedback from other staff.

The diagnostic takes about 10 minutes to complete and is often done at a meeting time to ensure high levels of participation. To access the whole school Buzz Diagnostic, request an access code via this link or complete an individual assessment here.

So, what’s The Buzz at your school like?
