Manaiakalani School Leaders PLG

Kiri and I attended the Manaiakalani School Leaders PLG this morning. A great morning sharing our data and looking at our school narrative relating to our data. A time to unpack and delve deeper into what is happening in our school and our next steps.

We also had the opportunity to listen to Jannie van Hees and her thoughts, ideas and practical ways to accelerate language acquisition. I am looking forward to implementing some of these in my classroom practice and hearing more ways to promote an Abundance of Language.

WFR Feedback

It is always a privilege to get feedback from DR Rebecca Jensen and reflect on our cluster data. It was also fantastic to see the junior school data and discuss trends, challenges and the way forward with teachers from other schools that were seated around us.

Manaiakalani Class on Air

I am excited to be a part of this group of teachers who are willing to share our classroom practice with the world. We are the 2018 Manaiakalani Google Class on Air Educators. With the help of Anne Sinclair and Matt Goodwin we invite you to journey into our classrooms as we work to accelerate learning, share our pedagogy and put Learn, Create, Share into action. Today we started our collaboration by discussing our achievement challenges and goals. I am really looking forward to this journey.

Knowing your learners

Thanks to our RTLB facilitators who joined us for teacher only day today and helped us understand that in order to understand behaviour, we need to know and understand our learners.
