Adie's Presentation

Hattie - Superstar Learner (From NZ Listener, 2014)

ERO - Accelerating progress of priority learners

Really enjoyed the workshop on BYOD - lots of PD resources to explore before pursuing further. Great to get an idea of how BYOD can be used effectively and for 21st century skills and jobs (rather than just electronic textbooks and worksheets!)

Also effective mathematics pedagogy - great to know that the Ministry has distilled the 'Big Pink Book' of best evidence pedagogy, into a much more digestible leaflet of 10 principles. Download it here: http://www.nationalnumeracy.org.uk/resources/39/index.html

Kia ora Isaac - it has been too long! GREAT to have you back in here :-) Thank you for sharing this presentation. Schools - both EM and MM - have enquired around how they can 'lengthen their stride' in regard to being Culturally responsive to their students well being and learning. We have found that the MOE Tataiako Cultural competencies + Kahikitia (Accelerating Success) docs have been great pieces of material in guiding them to framing up their own personalised - school derived - self review framework. Each school has co-constructed their own and many voices have been involved....BOT, whānau, ex students, teachers :-) It was great to visit a school 2 years on. They have decided to 'drop off' their 1st 2 phases in their framework, and add two more columns of descriptors at the more 'Empowering' stage :-) Thanks again for sharing this work :-) Have a great year, and stay in touch :-)
