THE KIWI TEACHER

Effective learning is engaging, collaborative, and visible, with students at the center, actively creating knowledge.

When kids engage in learning from a young age, achievement follows. Therefore, enjoyment and engagement should become our key metrics.

I’m not sure we have to tools to design collaboratively. What I mean is – we don’t have the time, the energy, or the know-how.

I silently wait for the karanga. Invited to cross the atea, we make our way forward. Leaving my shoes by the door, reminders of the need...

I'm sharing my experiences of homeroom time and how I think we can best utilise it to support our students growth.

What if we began to weave together the strands of reflection AND practice, thinking AND doing, looking backwards AND walking forward.

If we want to see real growth in our staff and students, we need to ask, “How can I work WITH you?”

The song book represents our collective understanding. It is our Kaupapa, our vision, where we are heading.
