Information for Staff:

1. We will have a number of staff out in week 10 completing Manaaki ki te Tangata PLD, part of the Rongohia te hau PLD that we started with Hine Waitere last year. This helps align with our strategic plan around culturally responsive relational pedagogy. We have a good cross section of staff across learning areas involved in this. We will look to see if we can roll this time with the team

2. Grow Waitaha are putting on a couple of webinars around AI - called "Artificial Intelligence In Education: Don't Ignore It, Harness It!

Whether you're a tech savvy AI educator or just starting to explore the possibilities of AI, this GROW Waitaha webinar series is your chance to discuss and learn how to leverage technology in a way that puts people first by;

* Minimising teacher workloads 

* Designing inclusive, equitable learning 

* Helping students reflect on AI and guide them to effective pedagogical use
