Learning and Leading in a New World: February 2015
http://learningandleadinginanewworld.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Learning and Leading in a New World. Tuesday, February 10, 2015. The Way We Have Approached (and Evolved) Catering for NCEA. As an area school we are in a great position to personalise learning.We have small numbers of learners. We know our learners really well. We will have learnt with them and from them for 10 years by the time they hit a need to demonstrate their learning through qualifications. It wasn't personalised- learners selected their classes each term, and there was differentiation of what wa...

Learning and Leading in a New World: Stand Up and Lead
http://learningandleadinginanewworld.blogspot.com/2015/08/stand-up-and-lead.html
Learning and Leading in a New World. Thursday, August 6, 2015. Stand Up and Lead. Knowing I was going to be away from school a fair bit in the next two weeks I wasn't going to go to *BOPPA/CNISPA 2 day conference in Taupo this year. However the agenda arrived and the opportunity to hear David Hood and Bali Haque speak and then spend two days discussing the changes needed in the senior secondary school curriculum with secondary principals and curriculum leaders was just too important not to come to. We li...

Learning and Leading in a New World: December 2014
http://learningandleadinginanewworld.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Learning and Leading in a New World. Friday, December 19, 2014. The Most Important Muscles of Them All - Learning Muscles. We took some huge risks this year. Daring greatly is not about winning or losing. It’s about courage. Brene Brown Daring Greatly. If we want our learners to have courage and take risks in their learning then we need to have courage and take even greater risks in our teaching. And as leaders we need to give people permission to take these risks. Twelve months ago Jono wrote:. Whenever...

Learning and Leading in a New World: He Kaikōtuitui

Learning and Leading in a New World. Sunday, August 2, 2015. Blogpost 6 for Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori. Yesterday I attended educampPalmy. Over the last two years I enviously watched educamps take hold in many regions feeling isolated and too far away to attend. I happened to be in Wellington for another hui the same day as EducampWelly in February so went along and met lots of people- known and unknown. I attended a couple of sessions centred on leadership- thanks to Carol and Laura from Edlead and Bede Gil...

Learning and Leading in a New World: June 2014
http://learningandleadinginanewworld.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Learning and Leading in a New World. Wednesday, June 18, 2014. Give your Learners True Control. Cleansweep wrote a piece comparing two different learning scenarios with the same students. Http:/ tkaslessons.blogspot.co.nz/2014/06/throw-off-shackles-and-turn-curriculum.html. For many the second scenario might seem the ideal to work towards. For us it is the reality we see happening every day. Posted this morning about handing power over to the learners. Our learners have three different inquiries happenin...

Learning and Leading in a New World: January 2015
http://learningandleadinginanewworld.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Learning and Leading in a New World. Thursday, January 29, 2015. So I started thinking about what my successes last year were and what were the things I felt I didn't succeed so much with. And over the course of a week I came to the decision that my word for 2015 would be SHARE. I will share the load- ask others for help, delegate tasks to others and give them the time and support to do those tasks. I will share my story as an educator and our story as a school with the wider education world. We are curr...

Learning and Leading in a New World: April 2015
http://learningandleadinginanewworld.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Learning and Leading in a New World. Thursday, April 9, 2015. MLE and MLP- a returning fad, or something that could be truly transformative? I have some real concerns about some of the things I have been reading from teachers struggling in new MLE’s this year. If nothing else changes except collaborative spaces and collaborative teaching then the end result will not change. You are just repeating the open plan experiments of the 70s and 80s and it will fall over sooner or later. Is it moving your kids?

Learning and Leading in a New World: May 2015
http://learningandleadinginanewworld.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Learning and Leading in a New World. Tuesday, May 19, 2015. Invariably alongside these discussions comes the questions about how to deal with students who just don't have anything they want to engage in when you give the learning over to them. Said on twitter earlier this year: schools should introduce kids to things they don't yet know they love! This is what our passion classes are for. Flow inquiries can be anything that learners want to be inquiring into. All of our learning focuses on and aims to bu...

Learning and Leading in a New World. Friday, July 31, 2015. Blogpost 5 for Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori. Today I went for a walk around our school at our learning break time (morning tea). I took the following photos in just one ten minute block of time. In the staffroom I found a Year 11 boy proud of baking his first pavlova lats night, having brought it in for teachers to sample. unfortunately by the time I ran back to the office and got my phone to take a photo the teachers had devoured it! Out on the field...
