Professional Development for the Regional Teams took place again in Term 2. Four workshops were held around the country for the teaching team to introduce the draft of Te Mataiaho, the refreshed New Zealand Curriculum. Teams were engaged in activities to look at the curriculum refresh and discuss how the changes impact specifically for BLENNZ ākonga.  RTV and DOM worked together to suggest improvements to align the BLENNZ Curriculum with this refresh.  

Regional Administrators and Resource Producers were also able to attend workshops to increase their knowledge and skills in software specific to their roles as well as providing an opportunity to network with other centres.  

Both groups engaged with a presentation on accessible formatting to increase best practice across the network.
