1. We had our wonderful intro taster from Julia Field last term regarding the correct pronunciation of our Te reo. (Starved pets eat more food). To keep up your own learning and practice your pronunciation in the comfort of your own home then check out the great resources on the Tōku Reo website. It is set up as modules, with podcasts and videos that you can listen to.

Conference Spotlight
Presentation:
“Navigating a VUCA
(Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) World” (From DNK)
Lane Clark’s presentation at this year’s ULearn18 conference in Auckland prompted
me to consider some of the factors which are currently driving debate in education, both
internationally and here in New Zealand.
During her
presentation, Lane discussed how the Key Competencies are positioned to drive
profound curriculum change in a world where students will need a
special set of global competencies to successfully navigate their world.
The content from Lane’s presentation has fed into
our English department’s move to re-design our Year 12 courses for 2019 and to bring
the Key Competencies to the forefront of our planning and teaching.
Below are the
links to some of the international policy documents driving this change in
education.
They are
well worth a read!
- OECD (Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development) 2030 Learning Compass
-The UN’s
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
This is made up of 17 Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) which is an international call to action to end
poverty, protect the planet, realise peace and prosperity.
-P21 Framework (Partnership for 21st Century Skills)
