This issue:

Spotlight on teacher workforce Editor’s note Covid-19 has affected so many aspects of teaching and learning this year, including the way teachers access professional learning and development. Many conferences and courses have been postponed or delivered differently and in many cases, PLD had to take a back seat while teachers’ first priority was grappling with the more immediate challenges of lockdown and distance learning.

So it was inspiring to speak to a Christchurch teacher who took a different approach to PLD, producing a series of podcasts on a range of relevant and engaging topics on his return to school. The podcasts were aimed to provide PLD opportunities for his Kāhui Ako colleagues; however, there is scope for a nationwide series.

PLD is a key focus of this issue, as is our teacher workforce. We share the experiences of a number of teachers who have taken different pathways into teaching.

Next year the Education Gazette turns 100!

We are looking forward to marking this milestone by looking back at education over the past 100 years. If you have any historical photos or video footage from your school, kura or early learning centre that you would like to share with us for our centenary content, please get in touch at gazette@education.govt.nz.

PLD

Accessing PLD by podcast A Christchurch teacher has produced 16 podcasts with diverse voices to make professional learning and development (PLD) easy to access for his Kāhui Ako.

Joseph began his podcast series with the purchase of a microphone and some audio editing software.

eacher Joseph Houghton is director of Māori and Pacific Achievement at Shirley Boys’ High school and an across school lead for Ōtākaro Kāhui Ako, which includes seven schools and 13 early childhood centres in east and north Christchurch.

The father of five is also doing a PhD on empowering Pacific voice in secondary education in Christchurch and has close ties to the University of Canterbury. Prior to the nationwide school closures, the Ōtākaro Kāhui Ako had partnered with the University and Ara: Institute of Canterbury with plans to deliver a Kāhui Ako conference, which has now been postponed until mid-2021.

“We were looking for a new and innovative way to deliver PLD for our staff to connect with. While podcasts aren’t new, I did a bit of research online and I couldn’t find any Kāhui Ako podcasts. We’d thought let’s try to get a podcast episode out before lockdown.

“We were literally in the recording studio about to push record on an episode when the Prime Minister announced Level 4. We had 48 hours to sort ourselves out so we canned the podcast.

Over the lockdown period with my family, I did a lot of research in terms of listening to podcasts and getting myself informed on how they are structured and how they run,” he says.

Relevant voices Joseph taught himself how to use the audio editing software, Adobe Audition, and formulated a plan for his return to school.

With a store-bought microphone, he began interviewing people face to face or via Zoom meetings.

The first podcast episode was about Māori and Pacific voices in lockdown learning, featuring Tufulasi Taleni from the University of Canterbury and Dr Melanie Riwai-Couch, who was working for Evaluation Associates, now sponsors of the podcast series: Ōtākaro Kōrero.

“As soon as we got access back to school, I recorded the first episode which was around how our Māori and Pacific families were going through lockdown. I wanted it to be relevant: that episode is still interesting.

I wanted our teachers to be able to have a sense of how our Māori and Pacific families were going and how they had gone during lockdown and how they had found the learning,” explains Joseph.

Expertise and talent were sourced from friends, colleagues and academics and, in one case, an expert Joseph saw on Breakfast TV. “Dr Daniel Hikuroa had been on Breakfast TV. They were talking about Mātauranga Māori and his work and so I contacted Dan via Linked In and asked him if he would be interested in having a conversation and recording a podcast for our teachers. He was very keen. Episode 12 features him and is about being the best teacher of science for Māori students.

“I’ve tried to give different people a chance to offer their voice, so we have interviewed teachers, principals, professors, students – there’s a real variety. In general, I’ve never had anyone turn me down. I’ve asked 16 people, we’ve had 16 podcasts and we’ve got about 10 in the bank either being recorded in the near future, or planned.”

Cutting-edge PLD For the past five months, Joseph and his colleagues have produced approximately one podcast episode every one to two weeks, focusing mostly on culturally responsive practice, as well as literacy and wellbeing.

Topics include: Listening to Māori and Pacific whānau voice; Being the best teachers of English for Māori and Pacific students; Hauora – being an upstander; and Wellbeing perspectives.

“We have tried to connect with evidence based, practical and cutting-edge people, to produce relevant and exciting content.

“My philosophy with anything like this, is looking for 50 per cent from within our Kāhui Ako and 50 per cent beyond. We are celebrating our professionals, staff, even some of our students, families and communities, but also stretching ourselves to go beyond what we are experiencing, so we’re not only inward looking, but also outward looking,” he says.

PLD

The podcasts are geared to teachers in the Ōtākaro Kāhui Ako and in Christchurch. Joseph says says a Kāhui Ako podcast offers an opportunity to contextualise PLD needs that are relevant to a particular area. He hopes that other teachers in the area will host their own podcasts.

Nationwide potential But Joseph also believes there is potential for a New Zealand-wide podcast series. The most popular episode to date was an interview with a teacher from Naenae College in Wellington: ‘Being the best teachers of English for Māori and Pacific students’.

“I’d seen something a friend had posted during lockdown about teaching his Māori and Pacific kids and I thought this would be a great podcast.

That episode (episode 4) has had more than 100 downloads.

“We have tried to connect with evidence based, practical and cutting-edge people, to produce relevant and exciting content.”

Joseph Houghton “We did one episode on the Ministry of Education’s Talanoa Ako app which is going to benefit Pacific families nationwide. Looking at the episodes we have done to date, I don’t see anything that will be limited to our local context.

“There might be one or two questions within a podcast about how to do something within the context of living in Christchurch. I would be asking questions with my own schools in mind, whereas a Kāhui Ako in Auckland will have different questions around what teachers and students can do within the context of living in Auckland.”

With more than 700 downloads to date, Joseph and his Kāhui Ako colleagues are on a roll.

Coming up, there are more podcasts in the pipeline including: a school’s journey in engaging more with tikanga Māori and an interview with a Pākehā history teacher who is passionate about supporting Māori students.

Closer to home, Joseph plans to interview Maria Lemale, assistant principal at Shirley Boys’ High School, about how she brings the Teaching Council’s professional standards to life with her teachers.

“Not every podcast will push every teacher’s buttons, but some of our principals have said they listen when they go to the gym in the morning, some listen on the commute to school, others have shared it with staff and will use it to start a conversation,” says Joseph.

The Ōtākaro Kōrero podcast series can be accessed via Apple or Spotify and can be found at otakaro-korero.simplecast.com.

Education Gazette | 23 November 2020

Teacher Kōrero Q: What do you like most about listening to a podcast for PLD? What are the pros and cons of this mode of delivery?

A: I really like that we are able to share relevant learning with staff and we can engage with it at a time that works for us.

Q: Do you think the topics to date are relevant to you?

A: The topics have been excellent, there has been a lot of great content around culturally responsive practice. I think this is really topical for all staff.

Q: Which podcast was of most interest to you and why?

A: I enjoyed the tenth episode of the Ōtākaro Kōrero podcast where I was introduced to the Talanoa Ako app which is designed to support Pacific families and their child’s educational journey. The app includes a wealth of information about time management, NCEA, literacy and career pathways. It also allows families to set educational goals for themselves and create a plan for their children. This was something that I have been able to pass on to our community.

Andrew Barker, Principal, Waitākiri Primary School Q: What do you like most about listening to a podcast for PLD? What are the pros and cons of this mode of delivery?

A: What I enjoy about the Ōtākaro Kōrero podcast series is that it offers a wide range of topics in a format that can be accessed anywhere. I can listen on my commute to and from school, when out walking, etc. The only con that I can think of is that I am unable to ask questions that might deepen or settle my understanding of the topics being discussed.

Q: Do you think the topics to date are relevant to you?

A: So far the topics have been really relevant. As teachers we should all be aiming to develop our understanding of teaching in a culturally responsive manner, so this topic has been particularly interesting and important. As wellbeing comes more to the fore alongside culturally responsive practice (these two are really intertwined) this has also been relevant.

Q: Which podcast was of most interest to you and why?

A: One recent episode has been Growing Culturally Responsive Practice. Although for primary, there were still lots of takeaways which can be applied to other levels of teaching.

Particularly that the teacher is not separate from the student, but both are part of the learning environment. It is not teacher vs student, but rather both are involved in creating an environment where learning happens.

Peter Beswick, teacher, Shirley Boys’ High School Q: What do you like most about listening to a podcast for PLD? What are the pros and cons of this mode of delivery?

A: The podcasts have been a great way to delve a little deeper into issues that have been raised or introduced during professional learning workshops. I enjoy the ability to listen to these podcasts at a time that is convenient to me. Another aspect of these podcasts that I have found really worthwhile, is the range of presenters. It is always great to hear from both educational academics and those at the chalkface.

Q: Do you think the topics to date are relevant to you?

A: All of the topics revolve around the Kāhui Ako achievement challenges so they do hold a large amount of relevance for our learning community. I personally find the podcasts about current educational research very useful indeed. Learning about current research, via podcast, makes the information digestible. I have enjoyed the opportunity to hear from educational researchers as this helps to bridge the gap between research and practice.

Q: Which podcast was of most interest to you and why?

A: I really enjoyed the podcast about the latest research around reading interventions. This is a highly topical issue that is facing our society. I really enjoyed hearing how researchers’ findings can have a significant impact on classroom practice.

RETURNING TEACHERS

Back on home soil Teachers return to Aotearoa Returning to New Zealand after teaching overseas has given Matthew Easterbrook and Holly Pears new perspectives on how to connect with students and highlighted the positive aspects of life for teachers here.

After three years teaching in the Cook Islands, Matthew was ready to return to teaching in New Zealand.

Holly is pleased to be back teaching in New Zealand after teaching abroad.

RETURNING TEACHERS

A

fter three years as head of the Science faculty at Tereora College, the national college of the Cook Islands, Matthew Easterbrook and his family decided it was time to return home.

They swapped the Cook Islands for Christchurch, where Matthew is now Assistant Head of Science and Head of Biology at Burnside High School.

Matthew had taught for several years in New Zealand before their prior move to the Cook Islands and this held him in good stead, with NCEA being the main secondary qualification there too.

He speaks positively of his time in the Cook Islands, noting he misses the climate while also commenting on the impact his time there had on his cultural understanding.

“Culturally it’s quite different,” he says. “There’s almost more respect, but in a different way. It took a while for the students to warm up to me but it really showed the value of teacher-student relationships.”

Matthew’s adjustment back to life in Aotearoa did take some time, but he feels he is starting to get there.

“I thought the size of the school might be an issue but it wasn’t so bad, though coming into a bigger department was a bit of a challenge. I’ve gone from a department with six teachers to one with more than 20!”

One thing that did assist Matthew and his family with their return to New Zealand was the Overseas Relocation Grant (ORG).

“It really helped with getting through the first few months,” he explains. “Financially it can be quite harsh moving countries but getting the grant was straightforward and prompt – even though some of my application was still being processed during lockdown.”

Phil Holstein, Matthew’s principal at Burnside, was quick to agree that the grant is beneficial in bringing people to New Zealand to teach.

“It is a wonderful way of assisting teachers to come back to New Zealand, or for beginning teachers to move within New Zealand,” says Phil.

“It gives them the confidence and support to make a significant change. For our schools, it is a great resource that enables us to get quality staff.”

The jandals and t-shirts for work might be things of the past but Matthew still draws on the lessons he learned in the Cook Islands.

“Teaching overseas only enhances your teaching practice when you return,” explains Matthew.

“When you come back you have that experience you can apply in a New Zealand context.”

“Teaching and living in the Cook Islands gave me a greater appreciation for Pacific cultures and people – the sort of thing only first-hand experience can provide. I can identify with students as individuals more than I could previously and it just reaffirmed how having those relationships is so important.”

“Teaching overseas only enhances your teaching practice when you return. When you come back you have that experience you can apply in a New Zealand context.”

RETURNING TEACHERS

Holly’s story Holly Pears is another New Zealand-trained teacher who has returned home recently.

Holly teaches at Fergusson Intermediate School in Upper Hutt, where she is also a specialist in Performing Arts. Holly had been further away than Matthew, having been teaching at an international school in Egypt (and the UK before that) prior to returning in mid-2019.

Her adjustment to teaching in a New Zealand context was a bit more of a challenge, as she had to unlearn some of the very resultsfocused ways of doing things from her previous schools and didn’t have much prior teaching experience in Aotearoa to fall back on.

“I really wanted to come back, which was super helpful,” she says. “I’ve appreciated how The New Zealand Curriculum gives you more freedom to plan and teach. Previously I seemed to just be following what other people had planned. It’s nice to be trusted to teach.”

She also appreciates the way her school values her as an individual too. “Who you are is a priority and is important – things weren’t always like that overseas,” she says.

Holly heard about the ORG through a friend and said it helped with settling back into life in Aotearoa.

“Setting yourself up when you’ve only got a suitcase is hard. It really helps to help get established again,” she explains.

Holly’s principal at Fergusson Intermediate, Simon Kenny, notes how challenging recruitment can be for schools. Pre-Covid, they would get a lot of overseas applications, and the quality of those applications would often be mixed, says Simon.

“It is important for us that the teachers we employ are familiar with The New Zealand Curriculum and our kids,” he explains.

The ORG can help with getting high quality applicants. “It is an advantage to have some support with this,” Simon says.

Holly notices similar benefits to Matthew as she reflects on how her time overseas has helped her back in New Zealand.

Teaching in the UK and Egypt gave her “more of a global perspective and greater cultural awareness”.

“I feel like you can empathise with kids more authentically than if you’ve only been in one place. It’s completely different when you go elsewhere and see people from different backgrounds.”

Relocation grant available for eligible teachers who moved within New Zealand The Domestic Relocation Grant (DRG) is a new initiative designed to support early learning services, schools and kura to get qualified teachers and kaiako to those places and in those subjects most needed. The DRG supplements the Overseas Relocation Grant and recognises that sourcing new teachers and kaiako from overseas is currently challenging due to measures necessary to control the transmission of COVID-19.

A returning teacher or kaiako, or a beginning teacher who is moving within Aotearoa New Zealand to fill a teaching vacancy, may be eligible for reimbursement of up to $5,000 (GST inclusive) for actual incurred relocation costs.

Please refer to the Internal Revenue’s list of eligible expenses before starting the application.

Expenses that are not on the list will not be reimbursed. For each expense claimed, please upload a matching PDF copy of each receipt or invoice that shows clear evidence of the expense description and amount. Bank statements cannot be accepted as evidence of expenditure.

Go to teachnz.govt.nz for more information, including eligibility criteria and the application process.

Holly says her experience teaching abroad has given her greater cultural awareness.

IWI LEADERSHIP

A Year 11 student at Te Kura o Kokohuia participating in a blended reality workshop.

I

n 2017, Ngaa Rauru launched an online portal which can be accessed by tribal members and 10 schools and education providers in the rohe – tribal land which stretches between Patea and Whanganui.

The Iwi education priorities encompass maatauranga (education from external sources) and moohiotanga (knowledge from within the Iwi) and include whakapapa (identity), tuupuna koorero (stories handed down) and te ao hurihuri (the modern world).

Te Kooiwi-roa is an online resource, which has seen 925 online views since December 2019, says Ngaa Rauru education coordinator, Ngareta Patea.

“The online portal was designed using local Maaori research and Iwi members’ expertise. The entrance to the portal is a wharepuni adorned with tukutuku panels: the tukutuku designs come from the 12 active marae across Ngaa Rauru,” she says.

Ngareta explains there’s a matrix approach to each of the whenu (content strands) in the panels, which overlap.

Gateway to identity and hope

“If you click into any one of those panels, you will be able to access the Iwi content resources that we have developed so far.

We’ve got a number of ebooks, videos, compilations and have also provided an array of material packaged as unit plans. While the unit plan might talk about the environment (te taiao), it actually covers quite a number of the moohiotanga and the whenu,” she says.

A virtual wharepuni with tukutuku panels which are portals to the stories and knowledge of Ngaa Rauru Kiitahi, is just the beginning of the vision of the south Taranaki Iwi to nurture and develop the potential of its people.

Education Gazette | 23 November 2020

IWI LEADERSHIP

Buy-in from schools Apart from two koohanga reo and two Maaori medium kura just outside the tribal boundaries, Te Kooiwi-roa is also being used by kura auraki (English-medium) schools which have agreed to embed the Ngaa Rauru curriculum into their school’s curriculum and engage an Iwi expert (pouako) to help with facilitation and delivery of the learning.

“We went to every education centre throughout Ngaa Rauru tribal rohe to discuss whether or not they want to ‘buy in’ to this. The portal was absolutely free for them and they could purchase any of the tactile resources at cost,” says Ngareta.

She says the unit plans provided for teachers offer a haakari/platter for them to choose from.

“There are some options and ideas about how the content links back to our whenu, and it also connects to The New Zealand Curriculum.”

Spring of knowledge Ngareta gives the example of an inquiry study completed by Whenuakura School near Patea, which used ideas and resources from the online portal, tactile resources and activities developed by the Iwi, and Iwi experts.

“The school has been doing a study around the waterways up at Wai o Turi Marae on the southern side of the Patea River. There’s an untouched puna (spring), so the whole school went to the marae and were guided and facilitated through some learning with the local kuia.

“They used resources from the online portal and took the opportunity to work with one of our Iwi pouako to help focus

on the curriculum intent of that school. They had access to our Iwi-developed resources such as board books, flash cards, taonga aa iwi, traditional Maaori instruments, poipiu, ebooks, posters, kono and a range of unit plans to support teaching practices.

“These reaffirm the learning, the resource materials and ebooks that are available online as well, “ explains Ngareta.

Following their marae stay, Whenuakura School principal Kat Haerewa wrote: “This inquiry topic explores its connections within the community. A visit to Wai o Turi Marae last term provided an excellent introduction to the unit of work. This overnight stay forged an ongoing relationship between Wai o Turi and Whenuakura School; a relationship fostered over the generations and reinforced in this exchange.

“The tamariki learned about the marae and about Paarara ki te Uru, the local puna. Each term, they will learn about a different part of the history and the environment of the marae. In term 3 they were also invited to visit Whenuakura Marae, to learn about the connections between Whenuakura and Wai o Turi.”

Augmented reality projects The Iwi has partnered with Christchurch research and development company JIX Ltd to develop the portal and is currently discussing concepts around different ways to use digital technologies to share Iwi content.

For example, Ngareta shares that she is from a small marae called Kai Iwi in the Ngaa Rauru rohe.

“When I was growing up, I was involved in weaving tukutuku panels. My dad, the late William Rakeipoho Bennett, his younger sister and older brother were traditional Maaori arts and crafts practitioners. We were involved in

the building of a dining room, Te Ririno o te Rangi, at Kai Iwi marae.

“We are talking to JIX about the possibility of a virtual tour of our wharepuni and wharekai, with my father as an avatar: welcoming people into the dining room because he ran the kitchen and we were his workers.

“A virtual tour would allow you to walk through the doorway, and be greeted by a number of tukutuku panels; so creating an opportunity for elearners to virtually touch the panels, and hear their stories,” she says.

A number of co-design waananga or workshops have recently been held by Te Kaahui o Rauru Iwi Development Team, who engaged with each of the three marae clusters (paahuki) of the Iwi. “Those hui have just finished and debriefs provided around our Iwi priorities and where education sits within that. For our Iwi, education doesn’t stand alone; it’s coupled with a whole range of different things: environment, economic development and this year it has been about our hauora due to the recent Covid-19 raahui, and will remain so for a while.”

Potential and hope The online portal, Te Kooiwi-roa, offers content and resources for a range of people at various levels and aims to help tamariki mokopuna through to matua (adult) learners achieve their potential, says Ngareta.

“This is ako using those resources starting from koohanga reo, early childhood centres, beginners in mainstream schools to middle and secondary schools, where they could use these as another pathway forward that looks at inquiry learning.

“The inquiry learning component will help individual learners think more broadly about what that means for them, how they connect

“The online portal was designed using local Maaori research and Iwi members’ expertise.”

to where they come from; and the sorts of conversations they could be having in their own communities.”

Ngaa Rauru has been working with the Ministry of Education across a number of projects for many years, including developing an education strategy called HOPE MAAKU (HOPE= Helping our people excel) to support the ongoing development of tribal members.

“There are a whole range of reasons for this, when I think about providing opportunities that are centred around what we believe is intrinsic to growing our people to thrive and excel. It’s around partnering, local investment decisions, planning that enables Maaori learners to succeed as Maaori, and to continually realise, attain and celebrate Iwi potential.

“We want to provide opportunities for all tamariki mokopuna and rangatahi, not just Iwi learners,” explains Ngareta.

Future thinking Augmented reality projects will be part of Te Kura i Huna, the Iwi school of excellence, which has been outlined in the Te Kura o Rauru Education Framework. Of the 7,549 total learners affiliated with Ngaa Rauru Iwi, only 1.7 per cent (128 learners) attend schools within their rohe.

They wish to establish Te Kura i Huna on a digital platform mai i te koopae kii Rangiaatea (from womb to heaven), to enable their uri (descendants) access to an Iwi-led education on a digital platform across the education pathway, no matter where they live.

“We have been working alongside JIX to help us develop the next phase of sharing our moohiotanga: Te Kura i Huna. We are wanting to provide access across our Iwi locally, nationally and globally, but it will also be hugely beneficial to Aotearoa learners in general.”

Te Kura i Huna will support Iwi participation in education across a variety of platforms including a blended reality platform to realise Maaori potential and provide a pathway that will deliver a better future across Aotearoa and globally.

“If we don’t embark on this journey, there is the fear that all of this intrinsic knowledge that has been left behind from our tuupuna, our taonga tuku iho, will be lost. Everything is really critical, for us, like most other Iwi, no doubt,” says Ngareta.

“This will provide education resilience and sustainability for our people on so many levels,” says Mike Neho, chair of Te Paepae o Te Kaahui o Rauru.

Please note: Ngaa Rauru uses double vowels instead of macrons when writing te reo Māori.

Beginning teacher motivated to make a difference

Beginning teacher Ethan Nisbett shares his pathway into teaching and why this is the profession for him.

E

than Nisbett left high school with plans to start a career in the sports industry, but 10 years on he’s back in the classroom, now as a beginning teacher passionate about driving educational achievement.

“After finishing high school, I worked at a local recreation centre running sports competitions and helping with the holiday programme. That was enough to make me realise I needed to refocus by prioritising my education so I signed up for a foundation certificate in sport and recreation at Unitec.

“Suddenly I found a thirst for learning, particularly in the autonomous style. I went on to do a Bachelor of Sport and was so inspired by teaching that I went on to university to complete a postgraduate teaching diploma.”

Rewarding work At the start of 2020, Ethan joined Waitākere College, teaching PE & Health. He says he has found his vocation.

“I love engaging with young people and finding what makes them tick. ‘Light bulb moments’ are what I live for, and I find the work incredibly rewarding.

“My transition into Waitākere College as a beginner teacher has been greatly helped by the coaching I have done within this community. The students and I have seen each other in a real-world setting and that allows me to be authentic.

“I love my school community, and as I grew up in this neighbourhood, I understand the complexity of our student population. It helps too that the school’s emphasis on a growth mindset and manaakitanga blends well with my values.

Beginning teacher Ethan says he has found his vocation.

“I love engaging with young people and finding what makes them tick. ‘Light bulb moments’ are what I live for, and I find the work incredibly rewarding.”

Ethan Nisbett “The tech-savvy style of my teacher training has been hugely helpful in equipping me to engage with students, particularly during the disruptions imposed

by Covid-19. And on the job I have learned a lot about restorative justice and how we can defuse conflict as well as empower students to make better decisions without punishment. My main teaching goal is to build and develop assessment using a strengths-based approach rather than the traditional essay-style assessment.”

A natural fit Waitākere College principal Mark Shanahan says employing Ethan was a “no brainer”.

“When Ethan was on practicum here, he got involved in rugby coaching, which is a passion he shares with so many students.

Once you observe a teacher who wants to contribute to the wider life of the college and builds positive relationships with students in and outside the classroom you know you have a natural fit for our kids here. He had mana that students respected and a reflective humility showing that he was here to learn.”

Ethan with his mentor Philip Brain (right) and principal Mark Shanahan (left).

Mark says the National Beginning Teacher Induction Grant (NBT) allowed the school to consider appointing new teachers because it reduced barriers for making sure there were very good resources available to the teachers in both starting and progressing through the year.

“We were able to strengthen our induction and support programme for all our beginning teachers. We take pride in the care and support provided for our beginning teachers as we want them to have the best positive impact on the learning of their students while they too are adjusting to the craft that is teaching.

“We cater or target professional development opportunities for specific needs that a beginner teacher may have and Ethan has been involved in a 3-day coaching programme, as well as specific resourcing such as the PE Geek subscription made available for the department.”

On top of this, each beginning teacher has a timetabled specialist subject mentor to inform and support with the skills needed in the specific subject discipline.

“We use the Specialist Classroom Teacher to meet regularly with the beginning teachers and new teachers to focus on lesson planning for successful outcomes,” says Mark.

“This resource allowed us to then drill down with teachers needing fine tuning in this area. Beginning teachers have the opportunity to shadow and observe experienced teachers across the school to see the range of teaching techniques that work with their subject and with different students and classes, and are actively involved in our PD programme held each week. Some even lead sessions.”

National Beginning Teacher Induction Grant The NBT is valued at $10,000 (ex GST) and is paid to eligible state or stateintegrated schools to fund recruitment and structured mentorship of beginning teachers, enabling them to “shadow” and be mentored by an experienced teacher before taking on their own class and teaching independently.

New Zealand state and state-integrated schools meeting one or more of the following criteria are eligible to apply: » Decile 1–5 schools » Severely isolated schools » Schools that require teachers for te reo Māori as a subject or for the provision of Māori medium education » Secondary schools that require teachers for secondary (Years 9–13) STEM subjects The beginning teacher must be a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident, provisionally certificated, and not have taught as a qualified teacher in a school previously.

Te Kura programmes expanded to support ākonga in Auckland Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu (Te Kura) is expanding its Big Picture and NCEA catch-up programmes in term 4 and over the summer to provide additional support for Auckland students following this year’s Covid-19 disruptions.

Dawid discovered the art of knife-making through a Big Picture project.

I

n an unsettling and stressful year, it’s heartening to know additional steps are being taken to support Auckland ākonga affected by disruptions due to Covid-19.

Across the region senior students are facing a range of challenges.

Some have already left school or are significantly behind and at risk of disengaging, others have faced barriers to participating in learning this year. There are also ākonga who may only need a few additional credits to gain an NCEA or University Entrance.

To support these students the Ministry of Education has partnered with Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu (Te Kura) to expand its programmes in term 4 and over the summer.

Te Kura Chief Executive Mike Hollings says the temporary expansion of its Big Picture and NCEA catch-up programmes to accommodate more students will provide an opportunity to have a positive impact for Auckland ākonga who enrol.

“We are pleased to play a part in the joint effort of the Ministry of Education and other educators, schools, and kura to support students and whānau affected by Covid-19.”

Education Gazette | 23 November 2020

Maintaining contact, engagement and wellbeing Big Picture learning, introduced at Te Kura a decade ago, is an approach that puts the student at the centre of their learning – it’s highly personalised and based on the student’s interests, passions and potential.

Te Kura educator Evan Shewchuk says Big Picture meets a specific need for students, with its kaupapa of supportive positivity.

“The pandemic had a mixed impact on our students. Our focus during the lockdowns was around maintaining contact and engagement, and ensuring ākonga wellbeing through regular online huinga ako that allowed us to interact as a group along with one-onone contact with ākonga and their whānau through individual virtual catch-ups.”

“Overall, we worked hard to meet the needs of our ākonga in very trying and disruptive circumstances, and now we’re expanding that approach to help many more ākonga who have not re-engaged for one reason or another since the lockdowns ended.”

gazette.education.govt.nz

At a glance: Te Kura supporting Auckland ākonga Te Kura 400 learning programme (a version of Big Picture) is for students who are disengaged, or at risk of disengaging from education.

There are 400 additional places in this programme for Auckland ākonga in term 4, with online and face-to-face learning available at locations all around the Auckland region. Eligible students can either enrol full-time with Te Kura or stay enrolled at their school while they participate in the Te Kura 400 learning programme.

Dawid enjoyed pursuing practical projects through the Big Picture learning programme, as offered by Te Kura.

The targeted dual-tuition programme is aimed at senior secondary students in Auckland with some engagement in learning, but who are at risk of not achieving their NCEA goals for the year. There are up to 3,000 additional places in this online programme in term 4 for ākonga who need additional support in one or two subjects.

Summer School is for students throughout Aotearoa who, at the end of term 4, need up to approximately 10 additional credits to achieve an NCEA or University Entrance and progress to further study, training, or employment. This programme is delivered nationwide, with extra places available to support Auckland ākonga. Summer School runs over the summer break from 21 December. Registrations are now open.

Pathway to an exciting career

Liam says the Big Picture programme has helped shape his career aspirations.

This approach has taken one of Evan’s students on an inspirational journey towards a career in the outdoors.

Liam Amanono says being part of the programme has kept him interested and engaged. He lives in Massey with his whānau and is now in his final year.

Liam’s advice to anyone considering enrolling is “Go for it – give it a try! I’ve found it good for me, it’s helped me develop my confidence and being able to work at your own pace is good. Keep an open mind, try new things!”

Liam enjoys the flexibility of Big Picture learning, saying it keeps him motivated as the focus is on things he enjoys including outdoor activities. This focus has helped shape his career aspirations.

“I’m close to achieving NCEA Level 3 and next year I’m going to Unitec to do a Diploma in Outdoor and Adventure Education at Adventure Works.”

Passion projects help maintain motivation Big Picture has also helped Kaitaia student Dawid Steenkamp decide what he might do next. When he talks about Big Picture’s ‘passion projects’ it’s obvious Dawid is passionate about the programme and what the future may hold for him. He’s still working through his options, perhaps a building apprenticeship or a blacksmithing course so he can build on his Big Picture learning.

“I love practical projects! They’re good fun and you learn faster than with paperwork projects. I love anything hands-on, like farming, horticulture, woodwork, blacksmithing and knife-making.”

Dawid discovered the art of knife-making through a Big Picture project. An interest in metalwork led to an interest in blacksmithing and learning how knives are made.

“Big Picture helps you continue with your passion whatever that might be. For me that became knife-making.

I loved that project because I could also show other people how to make a knife. I like to share my skills with others!”

Covid-19 meant Dawid couldn’t see his friends or go to the beach, but he decided to look on the bright side of the situation.

“It’s good to take up a new challenge so I thought of it as an opportunity to try new things.

Doing all my learning online was harder – it was challenging but I could see how my teachers persevered. I also like learning from the other students – it’s a really cool experience. When you first meet someone you only see the outside of them but then you get to see the inside of them when they talk about something they are interested in, whether it’s beekeeping or surfing, novel writing or clockmaking.”

Ākonga working at their own pace With Te Kura’s targeted dual-tuition programme, eligible students remain enrolled at their school while accessing targeted support from Te Kura in one or two NCEA subjects. This allows students to choose a few standards to focus on and work through their courses at their own pace. Ākonga enrolled in this programme also have the option to continue their studies during Summer School, so they can access further support to catch up on their NCEA goals.

Offering flexible, highly personalised programmes based on each student’s interests, passions and potential means motivation remains high, even in challenging times. Te Rina Leonard, Te Kura’s Deputy Chief Executive: Learning Delivery says many young people have faced – and continue to face – multiple challenges due to Covid-19 disruptions.

“Te Kura is committed to doing whatever it takes to support these students to re-engage with their learning and reset their journey back into education.”

Cook Islands schools benefit from PLD support A professional learning and development (PLD) programme delivered to five schools in the Cook Islands in response to Covid-19 has helped them make strides towards a more powerful and effective use of technology in their practice.

A

s school communities across New Zealand adapted to distance learning during Covid-19 Alert Levels 3 and 4, schools and teachers in the Pacific were preparing for how they would respond if they had to do the same in their countries.

The Ministry of Education invited Massey University’s PLD provider Tātai Angitu to support five schools in the Cook Islands – Araura College, Enuamanu School, Mangaia School, Tereora College and Titikaveka College – to help them prepare for learning from a distance.

Led by Dr Lesieli Tongati’o, Tātai Angitu facilitators Misha Shamdass and Jacky YoshiokaBraid created a bespoke PLD programme that

was able to be delivered entirely online through Google Classroom, where teachers could engage with the PLD in their own time at a pace that suited them. The modulised course on blended learning was supplemented with readings, videos and tasks as well as a weekly Zoom session.

“Terrific” opportunities Tim and Julianna Collier, New Zealand teachers from Gisborne who are teaching at Tereora College in Rarotonga, participated in the professional learning with teachers from other schools across the country.

Connecting with participants via Zoom, email and telephone, the Massey facilitators modelled

“The opportunities this offers are terrific – little things happened that were special: like seeing a colleague join a Zoom session for the very first time,” says Tim. “Teachers are now starting to explore these ideas with their classes. The work with the PLD facilitators all took place online, using a range of different technology platforms and apps.”

islands, including Rarotonga and Aitutaki, have recently been connected to the world by an undersea internet cable, however, until visitors return to the islands, and commercial demand increases, there is not the speed needed to support the seamless use of IT in learning.

“The big thing about IT-infused learning is the readiness of the teachers. The PLD with Massey has helped contribute to this. Here we’ve been given the opportunity to get ahead,” explains Tim.

Tailored support Tātai Angitu tailored its support to meet the specific needs articulated by the schools.

Schools wanted support in a variety of areas,

including transitioning to distance learning, lesson planning for NCEA subjects and levels, physical and emotional wellbeing, and leadership support.

Pacific Realm countries offering the NCEA qualification were offered the same access to the PLD support that New Zealand schools received during the Covid-19 response, working with accredited New Zealand PLD facilitators who have expertise working with Pacific teachers and learners.

While Rarotonga has so far had no cases of Covid-19 and has not gone into lockdown, schools are better prepared now in case this does occur.

When it rains, the satellite internet connection is often lost, making distance learning challenging.

New money lessons in te reo help Māori students gain NCEA Māori secondary students are now on their way to gain credits toward NCEA by learning about money thanks to a new collection of learning materials developed by Te Ara Ahunga Ora, the Commission for Financial Capability (CFFC).

The CFFC has launched the resources through Te whai hua - kia ora, a sister programme to the successful Sorted in Schools used in mainstream schools around New Zealand.

The resources are in te reo Māori, aligned to unit standards and have gained NZQA accreditation, enabling ākonga (students) who complete them to gain credits that contribute to an NCEA qualification. They cover money management, saving, debt, goal setting, insurance, investing, KiwiSaver and retirement, and are designed to be taught by kaiako and whānau as part of dayto-day lessons in any subject.

Te whai hua – kia ora is a financial education programme specifically designed for Māori medium education, NZQA accredited and available free to all kura.

The CFFC’s Kaikōkiri (Learning Specialist), Erin Thompson, says the financial impact on Māori communities due to Covid-19 made the launch gazette.education.govt.nz

of these new resources even more critical.

“CFFC research revealed the financially vulnerability of many whānau due to the effects of Covid-19. Of the 34 per cent of households facing financial hardship, 22 per cent of those were Māori,” says Thompson.

After-school tuition is a growth industry

“Te whai hua – kia ora is helping a new generation of rangatahi (young people) become financially resilient, so they’re better equipped to weather financial storms throughout their adult lives.”

Fostering wellbeing The resources use stories of Maui to relate his strengths and capabilities to rangatahi. Rather than being simply about money, the programme fosters an understanding of what financial wellbeing looks like for the students and their whānau in terms of taha hinengaro (mental health), taha tinana (physical health), taha whānau (family health) and taha wairua (spiritual health).

“Through Te whai hua – kia ora, ākonga are encouraged to look at wealth through a different lens so they can determine for themselves what they need to do to attain wellbeing. In the process, they will learn valuable money skills that go beyond the school gates and gain the financial confidence and capability to transition into the wider world of future education, training or employment,” says Thompson.

And there is wrap-around support for kaiako too.

“We run professional development workshops with kaiako to help them feel confident to use the resources and teach the subject. Ākonga and whānau are welcome and in some kura, whānau members visit to help teach the programme,” says Thompson.

Since Te whai hua – kia ora launched in 2019, 60 per cent of kura have registered to teach the resources, potentially reaching more than 42,000 students. Resources for students in Years 9 and 10 were launched last year and build on more than 300 resources already available through the Sorted in Schools and Te whai hua – kia ora website. gazette.education.govt.nz

TEACHER WORKFORCE

Teach First NZ in action On-the-job training is proving transformational for teachers and schools engaged with Ako Mātātupu|Teach First NZ employment-based trainee teacher programme.

O

nehunga High School has long partnered with Ako Mātātupu|Teach First NZ, employing up to five new programme participants each year since 2014.

“We fully support Teach First NZ’s aim to develop top graduates and professionals into highly effective teachers and inspirational leaders in schools that serve lower decile communities,” says principal Deidre Shea.

“Their participants better represent our diverse communities. Participants go through a rigorous interview and selection process, and have much to offer education and young people.”

In particular, the programme addresses the difficulties experienced by decile 1–5 schools in recruiting quality teachers of science, technology, mathematics, English, and te reo Māori.

Teach First NZ graduate Reid Douglas joined the school in 2018 and teaches product

design, technology, and design and visual communication.

“We were thrilled when Reid applied to return to teach at his former school! He has a Master of Product Design, considerable industry experience, and is a person of integrity who relates exceptionally well with others, including his students. As a former student and a local resident, he is deeply connected to our community,” says Deidre.

“Product design teachers are rare, and outstanding product and design teachers like Reid, extremely so. Reid has contributed two outstanding years as a teacher already. He is now qualified as a teacher and will continue in his role permanently from 2021.”

“I would likely not have pursued teaching if it hadn’t been for this work-as-you-train model.

I wanted a job where I would be reminded of purpose every day and working with students to share my love for creativity and design seemed a good place to start.”

The practical aspect of being able to continue in employment while training was also a big attraction for environmental scientist Teina Wells-Smith, now teaching science at Whangārei Boys’ High School. But Teina’s main driving force was to contribute to positive change in education equity.

Apprenticeship-like role

“The goals of Teach First NZ aligned with my own. Education inequity has been part of Aotearoa since before my grandparents’ generation and I was keen to be a part of a movement committed to overcoming this.

Reid says Teach First NZ has facilitated his career transition by providing an apprenticeship-like role.

“In previous roles I had worked with school groups guiding tours or running environmental workshops, and I saw the positive impact I

TEACHER WORKFORCE

“I would likely not have pursued teaching if it hadn’t been for this work-as-you-train model.”

Reid Douglas could make on these rangatahi. My younger whanaunga never really considered science as an option because they didn’t see themselves represented in that field, so I found I could share my passion for science and encourage our young Māori to get into this field.

“One of the strengths of the programme is trying to place the participants in schools in a community where we’re from. Many of my students are whanaunga of mine so I know I’m making a direct impact on my own people.

“I also believe in our school values. They are Māori values, their meanings are universal, and when they are embedded in our teaching and learning we will be able to develop our students of Whangārei Boys’ High School into fine young men.”

Bringing science to life Principal Karen Gilbert-Smith says Teina brings a wealth of knowledge and a focus on bringing the sciences to life, particularly for Māori students, which has led to an increase in their interest in pursuing sciences.

“A great example of this was his work with students to develop science fair projects focused on Māori concepts. He also leads professional development within the faculty again focused on weaving Māori concepts through the science curriculum. An example of this was manufacturing kawakawa balm with Year 9 students.

“He is a key driver in reviewing the junior science curriculum with a view to utilising more community expertise and increasing student engagement. The reciprocity is evident in that we can provide opportunities to Teina to add his valuable voice and expertise and the outcomes for our students are improved as a result.

“Teina is definitely a curriculum leader and we are excited about the opportunity to work with him into the future.”

Reid relishes the opportunity to learn on the job through the Teach First NZ programme.

Partnership opportunities Ako Mātātupu|Teach First NZ partners with eligible secondary schools who share a passion for addressing educational inequality.

WELLBEING

Integrating mindfulness into learning

Mindfulness practices are emerging as one of many strategies schools and kura can use to support learner wellbeing. Education Gazette looks at one mindfulness programme that has recently been scaled up, allowing more schools access.

WELLBEING

O

n any given day at St Mark’s Church School in Wellington, you can see students practising mindful breathing or movement, using these techniques to calm down after lunch, or doing jigsaw puzzles to wind down at the end of class. It’s all part of a mindfulness practice the school has integrated into its wellbeing programme and local curriculum.

The school has been using mindfulness programme Pause Breathe Smile over the last two years. Deputy principal Erica Harvison sees mindfulness as a tool for helping their learners consider their emotions and deal with conflict – and she has noticed positive benefits to the school’s culture.

“When there’s an issue, instead of an explosive reaction, it stops them in their tracks and gives them a moment,” says Erica.

What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is purposefully engaging attention in the present moment, in what is happening within and around us. There is a growing body of international research that suggests that mindful awareness practices can benefit physical and mental health, as well as support emotional regulation and metacognition (thinking about your thinking).

As such, many schools, like St Mark’s, have chosen to incorporate mindfulness practices into their teaching and learning programmes as part of an integrated whole-school approach to supporting learner wellbeing. This includes recognising and responding to the diverse strengths and needs of the learners and their school communities.

It’s important to note that mindfulness practices are one of many strategies schools and kura might decide to utilise to support learner wellbeing. There is no silver bullet or single programme that will work for every student and every school.

Pause Breathe Smile Pause Breathe Smile is a mindfulness programme available to schools. Originally developed by Grant Rix at the Mental Health Foundation, the programme was first launched in 2013 and has since been expanded to reach more than 300 schools and 60,000 students across Aotearoa. Now, thanks to funding support from Southern Cross, the Pause Breathe Smile programme will be available free to all primary and intermediate schools.

The programme essentially provides professional development for teachers to work through a series of eight lessons with their students, focusing on things like simple mindful breathing, eating and movement.

Schools are then able to lay a foundation that they can use to integrate mindfulness into their wider school programme.

Despite its clear structure, there is room for schools to make the programme their own.

“Mindfulness needs to be responsive to what’s happening,” says Grant, now the mindfulness director at the Pause Breathe Smile Trust.

“Many schools don’t see it as the ‘be all, end all’. Instead, it’s something that can ignite interest in mindfulness and wellbeing.”

Pause Breathe Smile aligns with the health and physical education curriculum, as well as aspects of the social sciences and science curriculum, and New Zealand Curriculum key competencies: thinking; managing self; relating to others; and participating and contributing.

It connects with and affirms te ao Māori values and perspectives by integrating the principles of the hauora model Te Whare Tapa Whā. Breath and body-based practices are used for exploring the interplay between physical sensations, thoughts, emotions, relationships with others, and interconnectedness with the natural world.

Expanding the programme After receiving funding from Southern Cross, the Pause Breathe Smile Trust will now be able to offer the programme, at no cost, to all primary and intermediate schools that are taking a schoolwide approach. Schools that are having their whole staff trained together will be given priority.

Southern Cross chose to support Pause Breathe Smile after looking for a way to make an impact in the youth and health areas. Additionally, they wanted to find something that their own staff (around 3,200 of them) could connect with.

Pause Breathe Smile ticked all the boxes.

“It also had the clinical efficacy and proven track record we were hoping for,” notes Greg Gent, Southern Cross Chair. “We want to see a change in the schools the programme is in,” he says.

Grant Rix sees a range of benefits to this support from Southern Cross. Removal of the cost barrier and increased capacity will, at the most basic level, give more schools, teachers and children access to this programme.

“It’s also an opportunity to engage with schools more and get an understanding of how they are going with it,” Grant says. He also hopes this will continue the discussion around mindfulness in New Zealand and its role in supporting learner wellbeing.

For more information, see the Pause Breathe Smile website.

Tools and resources There are several resources available to schools to support social and emotional wellbeing and building positive school cultures. For example, Sparklers, developed to help support the wellbeing of young people following the Christchurch earthquakes, is now a widely used wellbeing resource across New Zealand.

The Ministry of Education offers a range of resources to support schools to build safe, positive and relationally based environments that promote and respond to learner wellbeing.

These include the Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L) School-Wide framework, PB4L Restorative Practices, and initiatives on the horizon, such as the implementation of new Wellbeing Curriculum Leads and guidance. gazette.education.govt.nz

WELLBEING

One Tokomaru School student completed this project as part of his mindfulness inquiry.

Taking a whole-school approach to wellbeing Tokomaru School’s focus on mindfulness, as part of its schoolwide wellbeing programme, has had a positive impact on its school culture.

I

t’s a wet, cold day in rural Manawatū and the Tokomaru School playground is deserted. Even the hardiest kids are spending their morning break inside. It’s also a Friday near the end of term 3, so one might expect the classrooms to be full of noisy students and tired teachers. At this school, however, the words that spring to mind to describe the atmosphere are calm, quiet and relaxed.

Jacqui Frost, team leader at the Year 1–8 school, lights up as she talks about the school’s efforts to improve student wellbeing.

Jacqui has helped introduce a schoolwide programme that has changed students’ attitudes and sees all children and teachers practising mindfulness every day.

Jacqui’s initial aim was to make the school’s learner pathway more practical and accessible for all their children.

“Lots of schools have learner pathways, which is telling kids where we want them to be. I wanted to show them how to get there because often we miss that part out,” she says.

A different approach At that point she was teaching a class with children from Years 2–4 and was dealing with some difficult behaviours. Based on her own research into growth mindset and mindfulness, she decided to try doing things a little differently.

30

Education Gazette | 23 November 2020

The programme that developed was about focusing on growing their kids’ mana and helping them become more confident and relaxed along the way: “For us, these soft skills, these life skills, are what ground you.”

Following the success of the programme in her own class, Jacqui was supported by her principal, Sonia Mudgway, to expand what they were doing to the whole school. Since then, Jacqui and the other teachers at Tokomaru have trialled a whole lot of things, “some of them good, some of them not so good”.

One thing that is working is the Pause Breathe Smile mindfulness programme, which is now part of the school’s wellbeing programme.

Jacqui speaks glowingly of the way her colleagues gave Pause Breathe Smile a go.

What really mattered in terms of getting her fellow teachers on board was that they could simply pick up the programme resources and use them every day.

Powerful impact on seniors The schoolwide programme has also had an especially powerful impact on the senior students – those readying themselves for heading off to high school. Jacqui and the other teachers had noticed that these children had more and more anxiety-driven issues, particularly when it came time to think about the transition into Year 9. For one very anxious student, Jacqui reported that their programme “helped him to realise that what he felt was normal and that everyone feels this way”.

Jacqui is clearly proud of the impact the programme has had on the school – including her colleagues. She’s quick to point out that she has “grown so much with it as well.”

Another teacher at the school noted that the mindfulness focus had helped her, offering improved sleep patterns as a specific example.

There are signs that the school’s approach to wellbeing is working.

A group of ākonga all mentioned how the mindfulness part of the programme helps them to start their day calmly and gets them ready for what’s ahead. They also commented on how they use these skills outside of school, especially when trying to relax or when dealing with things that require patience, like annoying siblings!

“We still have some issues, every school does, but we tracked our playground behaviour incidents and they’ve just dropped right down,” says Jacqui.

“You have an opportunity every week to have a conversation with a child that is ‘hey, we want to grow you as a person and we care about you’,” says Jacqui.

“You can’t expect all teachers to be experts in mindfulness and this took that pressure off,” Jacqui says.

PLD

New PLD priorities set to start moving This term sees the first school and kura projects approved under new priorities for regionally allocated professional learning and development (PLD), ready for their PLD journeys to start in term 1 2021.

I

n a combined terms 3 and 4 2020 allocation round, schools and kura have submitted proposals against the new priorities through the online PLD system which was updated for the change.

The new priorities, well supported across the sector and wider community, refocus PLD on capabilities that promote equitable learning opportunities and inclusive practices, so all ākonga are supported to thrive in their learning and be secure in their identity, language and culture.

New PLD priorities for Māori medium and te reo Māori settings: » Mātauranga and te reo Māori » Aromatawai » Marau ā-kura.

New PLD priorities for English medium settings: » Cultural capability » Local curriculum design » Assessment for learning.

Digital fluency remains a PLD priority for all schools and kura.

You can read the descriptions of the new priorities on the PLD website.

32

Education Gazette | 23 November 2020

The priorities were introduced on 26 August 2020 in an online presentation by Secretary for Education Iona Holsted, Associate Deputy Secretary – Curriculum, Pathways & Progress Pauline Cleaver, and Group Manager Te Uepū Reo Māori Kiritina Johnstone from the Ministry of Education; Dr Mere Berryman of the University of Waikato, and Dr Margie Hohepa.

Teachers and kaiako are encouraged to view the recorded presentations on the PLD website (https://pld.education.govt.nz/) and three short video animations on the same webpage that stimulate thinking about why the refocused priorities matter for our young learners and their whānau.

Iona Holsted noted in her presentation that the new priorities reflect that what was heard through Kōrero Mātauranga really matters and makes a difference in education.

“While all of the new priorities have an important contribution to make, I see building cultural capability as essential if all young people are going to feel connected and welcomed at school,” said Iona, who emphasised the importance of cultural capability in removing racism and discrimination from any learner’s lived experience of education.

Iona also noted that this year’s lockdown experience underscored the importance of digital fluency which remains a priority for all schools and kura.

Kiritina Johnstone noted the part PLD and the new priorities play in Māori medium and te

reo Māori settings in helping continue to strengthen cultural identity and in looking strongly and deliberately at what students need to help them be successful in their education journey and future.

Doing things differently The new priorities also bring a need to make some adjustments and do some things differently for real progress to happen, said Pauline Cleaver.

These adjustments and improvements in PLD include a redeveloped PLD website (https://pld.education.govt.nz/) where you will find information about how regionally allocated PLD works and how to apply as well as helpful guides, an updated facilitator database for finding a facilitator for your approved PLD and a link to the new online system where proposals and PLD projects are submitted and managed.

The website is your best place to start if your school, kura, Kāhui Ako or cluster has identified a PLD need and the news section is where you can keep up to date.

The Ministry is working with the PLD provider network and others on strengthening the facilitator capability that supports the new priorities, with strong participation in recent webinar workshops. A better approach is being developed for ‘assuring quality’ of the PLD services providers and facilitators deliver into schools and kura.

gazette.education.govt.nz

PLD

“It is important we get this right and work with our provider network and school and kura communities in doing this and to test it will work well. This means the shape of the approach will become defined over the next year, rather than being fully in place in term 1 2020,” said Pauline.

Already in place this month, to help schools and kura with successful proposals for PLD against the new cultural capability priority, is an initial list of existing providers and their facilitators approved by the Ministry to deliver cultural capability PLD. There are opportunities planned for adding more providers and facilitators.

Tūngia te ururua kia tupu whakaritorito te tupu o te harakeke.

Sometimes challenging the existing ways of doing or seeing things is required to release creativity and progression.

Schools and kura need to choose their facilitators from the list for cultural capability PLD approved for regionally allocated PLD funding.

New priorities – a challenge for all The priorities and these other PLD improvements cannot alone, realise the progress they are intended to promote so that as Iona said “every one of our ākonga is supported to thrive in their learning, secure in their identity, language and culture.”

Recognising this, two key themes ran through the speakers’ presentations: the challenge for all of us of making a real difference for ākonga, and the importance of participation – of using the opportunity PLD offers to successfully take up this challenge.

Equal Employment Opportunities (EEO)

The State Sector Act 1988 and the Human Rights Act 1993 ensure that equal employment opportunities apply to recruitment. EEO principles should be applied to every part of the recruitment process ie the development of the job description, the person specification, the advertisement and the appointment process. These principles enable people to apply for jobs without their chances being reduced by factors irrelevant to the requirements under consideration.

Refer to the appropriate collective agreement for the conditions of service applicable to the position advertised. Employers also have to meet safety checking requirements under the Vulnerable Children Act 2014 when recruiting.
