Information for Staff and Professional Learning Opportunities

1. Most Likely to Succeed:
Most Likely to Succeed was screened here at CGHS in November for any interested staff

and the screening was made possible through a scholarship. If you missed this opportunity, look here for more details on what the documentary is about. 

From September 5th - 12th, MLTS will screen worldwide: audiences can watch via free online broadcast, schools and community hosts can screen the film at no charge, and anyone can pre-order a copy of MLTS for their class, library, school system, or community. 

They will host virtual panels and Q&As with experts from the movie and other thought leaders in 21st century education. Throughout the week, they will also feature stories of the film’s impact in classrooms across the U.S., and will share new, easy ways to experiment with innovation in schools

2. Grow Waitaha: Second Community of Practice

Enrollments are now open for the second hui around emerging innovative educational practice. This time, staff are able to visit Haeata Community campus on Thursday 31st August from 1.30 - 4.30pm.

The staff who attended the first hui out at Rolleston found the session thought provoking. If you are interested in attending please let either BLS or MWL know by Fri 30 June so we can secure you a place. Further information can be found  at Grow Waitaha.

3. Tuahiwi Education Trust: Registrations are open for the next workshops around:

• Ngāi Tahu Migration (Who are Ngāi Tahu and Ngāi Tūāhuriri)
• Mihimihi
• Culturally significant sites to Ngāi Tūāhuriri
• Tikanga and Kawa
• Pōwhiri Process

Workshops are to be held on July 10 and 21 at Haeata campus. See BLS if interested.

4. Useful Website: https://www.webpagefx.com/tools/read-able/

If you want a quick way to see if the website that you require students to read is set at the right age level this website allows you to find out. Just copy and paste in the website url and you will be given the reading age level.

5. Using Video in the Classroom:

If you are a google user, then you might like to try using Videonot.es. This add-on synchronises with Google Drive, so any work completed on the platform is saved and can be shared the same as any other Google Doc. This is a great tool, as it takes students from being passive viewers of a clip, which can often be non effective, to making sure students are engaging with what they are viewing.

This particular tool enables students to watch YouTube clips and add summary notes as they view the clip. When students go back at a later date to review sections of the clip. They are able to click on the text, and it will take them straight to that particular part of the video.
