Time to reflect and share with colleagues
What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?
Use the word Agency carefully with our whanau. Empowered has a far more positive outcome.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
The importance of teaching in different styles/ways to accomodate all learners and giving all the opportunity to reach optimumness. (word made up by Ilisa from Belfast).
What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?
Kia ora Deb,
ReplyDeleteIt is great to see your reflections on here. I know you will be getting so many ideas from being able to attend this course! How awesome that your team mates will all have completed it by the end of the year. I am interested to see how your planning and teaching changes after watching the T-shaped literacy from Rebecca.
Have a great week,
Kelsey
