About me

I was a high school English teacher for ten years before retraining in primary after my three daughters were born.  I've been lead teacher of maths, and run a digital unit. Now I'm DP at an intermediate where I'm in charge of curriculum and assessment, lead teacher for literacy and the person who fixes the computers. I want to get teachers passionate about e_learning but know that things like national standards and hardware problems and limits cause a lot of road blocks for people.

I have been part of three ict pd clusters, the last one as a "internal" facilitator or maybe administrator and milestone writer and collator. For Term 3 and 4 2013 I was seconded to be a BeL facilitator for Te Toi Tupu for .4 of my week. 

I am a past chairperson of the AP/DP Network, co-starter for #connectedrotorua and cohost of #educamprotovegas and Eduignite Rotorua.  We also held the inaugural Educamp Minecraft.

    I, like many of you, have been doing remote teaching since March, 2020. I am a student-centric, hands on/minds on teacher. In normal times when students come to my classroom (I provide pull-out services for gifted elementary level kids), I get them doing hands-on activities within minutes of entering into my classroom. As many of […]

  • Among Us Classroom Style: Another Case for Game-Based Learning

    A few weeks ago, I blogged about my gaming club in Video Games for Relationship- and Team Building. It is still going very strong. Students from the three schools where I teach gifted students look forward to it all week long. We started with Fornite Creative but now they have moved onto Rocket League and […]

  • Distributed Leadership in the Decision-Making Process

      Years ago, as a principal, I was really excited about the possibility of implementing a new program in our school.  I don’t want to say which one, but I had read a lot about it, and the main tenets of the program were and are something that I really believe in still to this ...

  • “Make Room on Your Plate”

    I was lucky enough to sit down and chat with Stephanie Rothstein on the “Innovator’s Mindset” podcast, and it was such an enjoyable experience.  One of the ideas that she highlighted in our conversation was her idea of saying “yes” to ourselves! She talked about this extensively in her TedX Talk (which you can watch ... [Read more...]

  • 5 Strategies to Promote Learner-Driven, Evidence-Informed Practice

    I read the following in a post from my friend Katie Martin, titled “Do Your Assessments Improve Learning?”:   Assessment can (and should) be about growing and learning and instead of being punitive or used as a gotcha moment- I am looking at you “pop quiz”. Over time I have worked with educators to better ... [Read more...]
