Relationships

I have developed strong relationships with my team that I teach with including relievers. I have attached a message that my CRT reliever sent to me.

Kahui Ako Leadership

I have finished up my role as the Kahui Ako within teacher this term. I appreciated the opportunity for leadership and enjoyed my time in the role as I got to meet a lot of new people and be pushed out of my comfort zone, however I decided not to reapply for the position as I feel I need to focus more on the things I am already doing and try to have a better work-life balance. Attached is a photo of the message put out in the Kahui Ako newsletter last term.

Kahui Ako Digital Technology

Over the past 3 terms I had the opportunity to experience leadership as I was the Kahui Ako within school lead teacher. As part of my role I experienced P.D of digital technology, I also planned and led workshops and was part of some strategic planning and conversations. I have attached photos to support this. link

Parent-teacher relationships

I think that relationships is a strength of mine. I have worked hard to develop strong relationships with the children in my class and their familes, and feel that i am doing well. Below is a photo of a pink slip I received from a parent that supports this.

Digital Technology P.D

I was a part of the Digital Technologies Leadership Group through the COL. In this group, we have met with Nicki from Core during Terms 2 & 3 to discuss where we are at with implementation of the DT curriculum across our schools, and where DTs fits in the Technology Area of the NZ Curriculum. Nicki has provided us with a roadmap to give us a starting point for reviewing our current strengths and needs and creating goals towards 2020 implementation. As a Kāhui Ako, we have identified ‘enablers’ and ‘blockers’ so that we can find ways to work together to achieve the best outcomes for our students. As part of this P.D, I learnt about unpacking the progress outcomes for Computational Thinking and Design and developing digital outcomes, I also learnt about the authentic use of tools and some unplugged activities I can do in my class. Alongside this, I have also been doing online P.D through Kia Takatu to support this learning.
