Learning@School Conference

21 teachers and principals from our cluster travelled to Rotorua for the Learning@School Conference.

An important part of our professional development in our learning community has been to encourage teachers to present at their school and our cluster sharing sessions. This has prepared them for the next step of presenting to their peers outside our community. 5 breakouts were presented by members of our cluster.

An inspirational way to start the year.

Welcome to 2008

It has already been a hectic start to the year. We started the year off with a teacher only day on 4 Feb. This was in the form of a whole cluster meeting to which we invited Mark Treadwell to speak on future implications for NZ curiculum, assessment and how the key competencies and inquiry support the vision of the school. He spoke of how schools can transform the framework into the curriculum.
See the cluster wiki for detailed notes



His online notes are available here.
Whatever by Mark Treadwell will be available in March.
Details of Mark's sessions can be found here.

Next up is the Learning at Schools Conference in Rotorua 20-22 Feb. There will be 5 presentations made there by members of our cluster. A fantastic effort and good luck to all.
