Information for Staff

1. Our professional learning session on Tuesday will have 2 parts to it. The first half is linked to the observation data that was synthesied to help create our CGHS 'Culture of Learning'. The team have chosen to do a half our session on 'Checking for understanding'. This will be an interactive session that will have some new strategies for some of you, or a chance to reconnect with why you might do what you do to help engage all learners in the topics you are covering. If you would like some prior reading - and may not have heard of the phrase 'hinge questions' - Dylan Wiliam has a good summary 

The second half, is based on presentations created for the Talanoa Ako PLD that a group of staff participated in during the recent break.

Both topics are linked to our strategic goals.

2. An education worth having... 

Colleen O'Rourke talks about the best use of AI in education, neural networks inspired by nature and using AI to meet specific needs.
