What a changeable world we have been walking in, pai kare! It’s been a great chance to be innovative though, and find new ways to get great outcomes for Ākonga. 

In response, we created a series of online Professional Development opportunities for educators. The presentations are deliberately short in recognition of busy Kaiako and contain simple interventions that feel possible. Our approach was to get ‘buy in’ and ‘action’ by sharing uncomplicated do-able strategies, i.e.: ‘quick wins’.  

They have been a success with our colleagues getting the engagement we sought. More educators have participated than through past kanohi ki te kanohi In-services. They’ve been seen as user-friendly, easy to understand, and providing a kete of ideas to apply to mahi right away.
