Information for Staff

1. Hattie has just updated his effects table which can be found at the link below. There is also a great white paper link which I recommend on the page.  The paper is called the cargo cult white paper and addresses all the bias that affect teaching and learning and the waste of energy and PD which is not useful or improves educational outcomes particularly well.

2 During the Christmas holidays, Clare Fowler, spent three weeks in Jerusalem as part of the NZ Educators' Seminar studying the teaching of the Holocaust.  

Clare's teaching journey is the focus of this term's Holocaust Centre for New Zealand (Te Pūtahi Urupatu o Aotearoa) 'Meet the Teacher' slot. (read article here)

Clare is looking forward to sharing her story with interested CGHS staff in the near future.

3. Bookweek reminder for staff from EWL:

We are looking forward to seeing you all in costume at lunchtime B2 on Tuesday 18th June in the library for the inaugural Bookweek Cosplay! The students don't get to have all the fun or win all the chocolate.

Theme: Myths, Legends and Fairy Tales

(How about: Big bad wolf, Boudicea, Loki, Maui, WonderWoman)
