“Change and transitions are hard, but that is where the growth zone is”. Sitting in the uncomfortable is ok because we know we do this to enhance ourselves as educators to improve outcomes for learners. Teaching is a profession and we are professionals #wegotthis #manamotuhake

Any insight as to how I can get my hands on a copy to read whilst at the beach?
My new book “Teaching to the North East” is going to be launched at NZ education leadership conference in Hamilton on 15 April 20. Intended to be an accessible guide for teachers and school leaders to improve educational outcomes- nzcer.org.nz/nzcerpress/book…

Great idea
If your children were worried about the orange skies in New Zealand caused by the #AustralianBushfire today I've made a quick video to show you how to explain the #science to them really simply at home.

This also captured my attention: Many teachers found that students took their thinking to a “deeper” level during the approaches to learning being trialled. Food for thought people, anything that opens up and allows students to access learning is worthwhile. More research please!

Let students in the secret of learning - "they could learn more effectively by learning to set their own learning goals, work collaboratively with others and support each others' learning "

Participating teachers across all four schools felt empowered to try new things and felt that taking risks followed by intentional reflection and realignment was key to shifting their teaching practices. @HaeataCampus
Many schools become enmeshed in the ‘wasted investment’ quadrant when they invest in new spaces but have not yet invested in new teaching practices
