Information for Staff

1. Beginners Guide to the Hour of Code: Next week is the hour of code week. The Blog post 'Shake up Learning' has a number of resources you can use to start your coding journey.

2. The education hub has recently uploaded an article on the 'Seven Principles to effectively support Māori students as Māori'. 

The seven principles identified are:

• Accepting professional responsibility for, and making a commitment to, improving Māori students’ educational achievement 
• Caring for Māori students as Māori 
• Developing relationships with whānau and iwi 
• Transforming power relations in the classroom 
• Developing discursive and co-constructive pedagogies 
• Managing classrooms to promote learning 
• Having high expectations of Māori students and reflecting on learning outcomes and goals with students and whānau 

See link above for more detail as to what this might look like in the classroom.
