One way to share our learning with our parent community is through our Parent Hui days and evenings.

It was so great to see our talented staff share their knowledge and skills in a collabrative co creative way. (Refer to links above).

As Assistant Principal and Curriculum Leader I felt a sense of pride when the teams sought feedback for their presentations and took on board the critical discussions and suggestions.

Overall in my opinion the team collaboration was successful because the teachers worked together collaboratively and produced and presented a coherent artefact for our school.

Presentation Ulearn2014

It’s all about Citizenship

I presented at Ulearn2014 in Rotorua, New Zealand on Friday 10th October.

Here is a link to my presentation on youtube.

The rail safety education resource is about citizenship around our school, our community and globally from kungv

The resource is not just about trains, it is all about developing citizenship and learning framed using SOLO Taxonomy.

This session highlights the new rail safety education resource with ideas from a rail reference group including Tracksafe New Zealand and hosted on the New Zealand Transport Agency Education website.

Participants at this workshop will learn about the resource and understand the crucial elements of good learning design including the use of key questions and concepts framed using SOLO Taxonomy such as:

•  What is worth knowing and doing as a citizen around places on the electrified rail network?
•  When you are a citizen you belong, you matter and you make a difference.
•  Citizens work together to create safe journeys for everyone around the electrified rail network.

This resource includes a series overview, key competency rubrics and a complete list of ICT resources that are aligned to the New Zealand Curriculum using SOLO Taxonomy.

The NZTA Education resources were written by educator Pam Hook.
