About me
A mother of two girls - and still reminding them as to who the parent is in our relationship! I am the youngest of seven. While the rest of my siblings were raised in the East Coast, my education was in Lower Hutt. I went from Naenae College on to Teachers college and the rest - as they say - is history! From 2004-2006, the three Kura in Wellington clustered together on an ICT PD contract. During that time, I was .4 DP and .6 PF of the cluster. In 2007 I resumed my DP role full-time and then joined CORE Education as a national ICT PD facilitator. I was in a split .5 DP and .5 NSSF from 2007 to 2011.
In 2012 I stepped away from TAWKKM to take a two year leave of absence from this role. Mid 2013 however, I resigned from this job after 16 years as DP and welcomed a full-time role with CORE Education as part of the BeL/LwDT team in the Te Toi Tupu consortium
In July of 2017, I will have been with CORE for 10 years. A new year, changes afoot and looking fwd to working with some single entity schools and Communities of Learning (CoL's)

Hi Kathe. Welcome to the Quadblogging Aotearoa Group. Please feel free to offer suggestions and contribute to the discussions. And please spread the word. Nice to have you here. We would love some classes blogging in te reo.
- Kia ora Sue! - hopefully a shared understanding as to the purpose of what you have mentioned, is driving a passionate team towards the ideal
- Resistant teaching staff, little PD, a culture that not open to continuous learning, a budget line for purchasing hardware that is unknown
- Welcome Rebecca-gather all stakeholder voices, know the schools budget line, strategically plan for purchasing of hardware, PD. Go well :-)
- Kia ora Karli - a common platform across the school is not necessary per se but, it does make for a more easily managed network :-)
