Meeting with Jan

Thanks Jan, for your help today! We took a stocktake of where Poroutawhao staff were at with our inquiry journey. We have worked hard on developing our model, and a next step for us is to implement school wide, to trail and test it, and make changes as we need to. We have a PD meeting on Wednesday, at which I will be presenting a report on where we are at with ICT integration, inquiry processes and SOLO integration. Part of this session will include a survey to better assess where everyone is at. I will post again after this meeting....

I Can, We Can Cluster Day

Thanks to Muratai School for opening up your school to us and sharing your journey. It was fantastic to see the consistency across the whole school, in relation to the inquiry model. This is the next step for our school, as we have now developed a model to use, it is now time to implement this school wide to begin to develop the consistency we saw today. It was very exciting to see the children able to discuss with us what they thought about inquiry and their own personal learning journeys. I am looking forward to following this same process next week with our kids to see where our school is at.
