While listening to them speak and following their slides, I reflected that if I closed my eyes I could be back in NZ hearing a success story being presented about the implementation of the front half of the 2007 NZC. While the context is very different, these outcomes have been achieved through investing in a common purpose and empowering educators at all levels to leverage their passion and expertise to improve outcomes for their young people.</p><p>The case studies presented by classroom teachers and the school visit to <a href="https://alharaki.sch.id/" target="_blank">Al-Haraki Islamic School, Depok</a> demonstrated the positive impact this leadership is enabling.</p><p>International speakers from Taiwan and Japan shared innovative solutions to the common challenge of modernising our education systems in culturally located contexts.</p><p>And Google's own Shantanu Sinha inspired with his keynote that shared his own context of innovation while acknowledging that "Great education starts with great teachers".</p><p>A special thank you from me to the tireless efforts of the two interpreters who kept me up to speed with all that was going on, and managed to translate my ramblings for the audience.</p><p><span id="docs-internal-guid-2ed3d87e-7fff-e043-6522-148ceb4df2be"></span></p><div align="left" dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 0pt;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none; table-layout: fixed; width: 523.276pt;"><colgroup><col></col><col></col><col></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-bottom: solid #ffffff 1pt; border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-left: solid #ffffff 1pt; border-right: solid #ffffff 1pt; border-style: solid; border-top: solid #ffffff 1pt; border-width: 1pt; overflow-wrap: break-word; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Lexend,sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 157px; overflow: hidden; width: 213px;"><img height="183.25978647686833" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/PHuTQUyAwqDQocj4rgFjPbcCqh7hjDCQR2E3LmTMZR6gGWSyWmhJ9IAyKMRy8I0HDrVK5fXjDCGcbO1uXK6TJoGbrUcC_wyM3q6YeJz0TKSEG3y4clzcDAkKDng9yCV3a4IYzsy9uR1wpkaSIX8Ys5E" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: -26.2598px;" width="243.10994764397904" /></span></span></p></td><td style="border-bottom: solid #ffffff 1pt; border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-left: solid #ffffff 1pt; border-right: solid #ffffff 1pt; border-style: solid; border-top: solid #ffffff 1pt; border-width: 1pt; overflow-wrap: break-word; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Lexend,sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 157px; overflow: hidden; width: 218px;"><img height="164.52396166134187" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_lUtuU78QUqcvHmPx6ypGeFlbh0bbE8W9dOfLCV2QQdUPakFmVGCt6lHAY8yTGaFYBMTIf7P2TWcWm35Mks8J0S9Z9q8WeWhnRIQZFiu4LjjeFV2OXhJer7XfCCQDlO6sy2sLnU7jMYYk3Y_mXAuURE" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="218" /></span></span></p></td><td style="border-bottom: solid #ffffff 1pt; border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-left: solid #ffffff 1pt; border-right: solid #ffffff 1pt; border-style: solid; border-top: solid #ffffff 1pt; border-width: 1pt; overflow-wrap: break-word; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Lexend,sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 153px; overflow: hidden; width: 218px;"><img height="164.53770491803277" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/nVGk0geQPHOdc5Z-je3cE0pynEGsE-T9wYPp-B5cAwyWVtAmekHLteX9IYINDTrQP6byBBLbWXR80adxjCU6-4MhzDiAZTZV4AnIyLuJzOpe3eCxBlu4TypnceD7mlkb_Jb4Rw1VoN2hXzuZwm0vU1M" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: -11.5377px;" width="218" /></span></span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div>

Most of our facilitators will be taking annual leave from the week beginning December 19th. Until then, we are keen to support your staff, whether in groups, individually, or at the whole staff level. We often support teachers to plan for their new class site for the year ahead - and even get hands-on with the design. We are out and about supporting the sign-ups to the Summer Learning Journey and supporting the managing of class blogs and individual blogs. We are working on the in-class facilitation timetables for 2023, and as soon as principals give us the names of teachers to support we will be able to finalise these.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Lexend, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Many of our network-wide PLD programmes are filling up, so thank you for getting in ahead and booking spaces to work with us in the Digital Fluency Intensives, Reading Practice Intensives, and Te Reo Māori Facilitation.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Lexend, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We have a number of principals retiring or moving on to new schools at the end of this term and extend our best wishes to you all.

Perhaps the most common area of variance was video conferencing. This included the teacher confidence to host it and the learners understanding of protocols and procedures to enable a successful connection for learning.</span></div><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Raleway;">By October, with Auckland schools having been through two seasons of remote learning, it became obvious that anyone with the luxury of learners sitting in the same room should be taking the time to practice using video conferencing effectively for remote learning. We suggested that teachers and principals maximise the opportunity to observe barriers to access, which in turn become barriers to learning and lead to isolation during distance learning.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">Recommendations for a MeetUp include:</span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: Raleway;">Socialising protocols and expectations for your school/kura</span></li><li><span style="font-family: Raleway;">Rehearsing digital skills and social behaviours required for successful connections and learning</span></li><li><span style="font-family: Raleway;">Ensuring equity and access for every student, to learning and social interaction</span></li><li><span style="font-family: Raleway;">Supporting and reinforcing Cybersmart interactions</span></li></ul></div><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">Ideally, a MeetUp practice would need two adults. </span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: Raleway;">Someone in another room/place to lead the online interaction with the learners - even doing something as simple as reading a story to the class</span></li><li><span style="font-family: Raleway;">The teacher to stay in the classroom with the learners to both provide support and to observe (taking notes to follow up on) successes and barriers</span></li></ul><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;">Four seasons of lockdown later (at the time of writing this) it is beyond time that teachers and students are able to seamlessly segue into connecting with each other via Google Meet in Manaiakalani schools **</span></div><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Raleway;">This week Matt Goodwin and Fiona Grant from the Manaiakalani facilitation team <a href="https://cybersmartchallenge.blogspot.com/2021/03/lockdown-special-2-get-ready-for-google.html">released an entertaining and informative blog post</a> to support learners (and teachers) to "follow a good Google Meet etiquette".

We continued to use our umbrella theme, taken from the New Zealand Curriculum vision statement</span></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;"> "Our vision is for young people who will be confident, connected, actively involved, and lifelong learners."</span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">Approximately one-third of the entries were centred on their response or reaction to the COVID pandemic and how it impacted them personally. One delightful example is <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FsccjILLJJ7Pseq1yA2UWDdyGmlfEDsY/view?usp=sharing">this music video,</a> 'Stay at Home', written and performed by a student from Tamaki College.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">We are grateful to the team from N4L who took the videos made by our tauira and compiled a short film to allow our young people to speak for themselves.

With everything else going on, was this something we would give a miss in 2020?</span><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;">Our principals made the call to go ahead with planning the festival, in the hopes that the situation would have improved by November and it could be a face to face event, but with the proviso, we would move it to an online event if we were still required to social distance.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;">Our teachers and learners rose to the challenge and continued to plan their movies to contribute to the Film Festival and as it turned out we <i>were</i> able to host a face to face event. There was a palpable feeling of celebration as the busloads of children and teenagers arrived at the theatres and appreciated being able to see themselves, or the movie they had created, on the big screens of the three theatres we hired. </span></div></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;">While we were slightly down on the number of movies contributed (85), we still had more than 3,500 young people attend the 12 hour festival and a full house attend the evening showcase. Around one third of the movies had a definite COVID theme, and the rest were our usual eclectic interpretation of the mission statement of the NZ curriculum and showcased confident, connected, actively involved, lifelong learners.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;">We altered our traditional style of welcome video to represent a year of distance learning through Google Meet, and re-enacted a Meet session. This brought back warm memories to all who had taught or learned in this way in 2020.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><iframe height="480" src="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JdtX3toDEGIxKAce8LBsVWBu3IyT5aQC/preview" width="640"></iframe></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;">As always, the movies screened are available <a href="https://filmfestival.manaiakalani.org/film-archive/2020" target="_blank">online at our film festival website</a> and we invite you to view 2020 through the very positive eyes of the Manaiakalani tauira.</span></div><div><br /></div>Dorothyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06878032140647205425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345031115753569060.post-65410459388135710322021-01-09T14:56:00.000+13:002021-01-09T14:56:56.975+13:00Summer Learning Journey partners with Nanogirl<p><span style="font-family: Raleway;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wmr7ZD7rLEg/X_kLmBIlRdI/AAAAAAAAQv4/cyKlywb3Hck-BtKE7m8jDr8TZfwjKsKqQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1120/SummerScience.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="630" data-original-width="1120" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wmr7ZD7rLEg/X_kLmBIlRdI/AAAAAAAAQv4/cyKlywb3Hck-BtKE7m8jDr8TZfwjKsKqQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/SummerScience.png" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: Raleway;"> <a href="https://summerlearningjourney.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Manaiakalani Summer Learning Journey</a>, covering the summer holidays of 2020-2021, was launched on December 14th with a full six week long programme of activities, including Christmas Day and New Year's Day. This has been designed to support the young people in Manaiakalani schools over the long break, where traditionally learners who are not exposed to stimulating opportunities experience the <a href="http://www.manaiakalani.org/our-story/research-evaluation/summer-learning-journey-2015-16" target="_blank">Summer Slide</a> ie go backwards academically.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">The theme for the current SLJ is <a href="https://slj.manaiakalani.org/welcome" target="_blank">'Celebrating Summer' </a>- something we were all desperate to do after the events of 2020. The activities are designed to be fun, as well as providing opportunities for learning along the way.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">This year the design team chose to use a blog format for the activities, rather than the website approach used in previous years. This enabled us to design fun activities in strands, with a focus on STEAM, and to schedule new activities to appear throughout the day. This 'drip-feeding' is particularly engaging for young people with time on their hands and not a lot else planned for their day.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">We were very fortunate to have Dr Michelle Dickinson – a.k.a. Nanogirl- and her team offer to partner with us and enrich the Science strand of the SLJ. Nanogirl designed science activities for our learners that kept in mind the limits of available resources on hand for children in our community.

Despite stories of ill travellers on cruise ships and NZ citizens being flown home from Wuhan on a special flight to quarantine in a military facility occupying our media, this felt like another northern hemisphere epidemic that would have little impact on our lives in NZ, unless we were travelling to China, then Italy, then...</span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="display: inline-block; position: relative; width: 100px;"></span></span></p><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;">We had a case in NZ on Feb 28th, and the last couple of weeks have seen more cases of COVID-19 being identified with eight by this weekend. At the same time we have seen parents overseas start to keep their children home from school and teachers talking about distance learning, home learning and blended learning. We have seen teachers overseas rising to this new challenge and teachers at a loss as they wonder how to cope.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;">It is looking highly likely that New Zealand will be impacted by this and our schools could be asked to supply socially distanced learning for our young people, and it would be wise to plan for this while we still have children attending schools and we have the opportunity to plan and prepare for this.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;">Over the weekend we worked on a document that schools implementing the Manaiakalani Programme could use as a guide and a support. These Manaiakalani schools around the country are well placed to move seamlessly into learning from home because we have established systems for our parents to buy a device for their child and we have a pedagogy that has been proven in a wide range of contexts. But most importantly we have teachers with effective practice, who know their learners and their whanau, and have been leading learning using a digital learning environment for years.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;">In this time of uncertainty we want to empower teachers to back themselves and continue to design learning experiences that they know will be effective for their young people. To neither be distracted nor confused by the offers that have begun flooding in from commercial companies offering their products and services. To take stock and plan for the eventuality we could end up in a similar scenario as schools in the Northern Hemisphere.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;">We called the document " <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yQWM-5mgbpvpYw-jwt29KQHz1dGg5pnc3yUiN9_vHmc/edit#">Limit the Links" </a>and sent it out to all our principals on Monday morning, with the suggestion that they share it with their staff and call upon our facilitation team to help them unpack it.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;">The biggest challenge if our young people find themselves learning from home is 'where do I find my work?" "Where do I access my learning?" So we have suggested principals make sure their school website is set up to be a direct portal that students can use to locate their learning - if it is not already. Anyone can locate their school website through a simple Google search, so no one needs to remember a URL for this at all.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;">Our teachers lead learning via a class or subject site, so once the young person has landed on this from the school website, they should be good to go. No passwords to remember, a clear pathway to accessing learning online.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;">The missing ingredient here is the important link connecting our children and their teachers in real time. We emphasised that using the tool we already have as part of our Google Apps domain, Google Hangouts Meet, would have an important role to play as we focus on learner wellbeing. on making and maintaining connections with students and their families. And of course invaluable as a teaching tool.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;">The final link we emphasised in the document was one we use to support our young people connecting with each other, sharing their learning with their peers, their teachers, families and friends. This is their individual blog.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><blockquote>We believe that this will be enough- hence, <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yQWM-5mgbpvpYw-jwt29KQHz1dGg5pnc3yUiN9_vHmc/edit#">Limit the Links. </a> Back yourself as a teacher, as a professional. Use the tried and tested technology teachers and learners are familiar with and together we will make this work!</blockquote></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></div>Dorothyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06878032140647205425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345031115753569060.post-52897206697286246052020-03-04T15:28:00.025+13:002022-05-11T15:34:10.956+12:00Kaikohekohe Education Network<p>Great to see such a positive view of education in the Far North.

Recipe for chaos as Principals gather for a day of professional learning around implementing the new digital technologies curriculum and power is cut to the whole of the province.</blockquote></span></blockquote><a href="https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/117740857/major-power-outage-across-northland#:~:text=Northland%20power%20outage%3A%20Electricity%20restored%20after%20major%20power%20cut%20to%20region,-Ryan%20Anderson%20and&text=A%20Top%20Energy%20outage%20map,at%209%3A35am%20on%20Wednesday.">See news article here<br /></a><br /><div>
Or is it?</div><div><br />
Ten years ago, maybe even five years ago. But in 2019 the principals of the Te Hiku and Kaikohekohe clusters who had come together for a day of professional learning at Waitangi took it in stride.</div><div><br /></div><div>The day started out with a buzz of energy as people enjoyed meeting up in the beautiful learning centre in the grounds of Waitangi. A day of learning more about the Digital Technologies Curriculum that is required to be implemented by 2020 was in store, along with a <a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1736u8BbIlo-2RQwGV9KrqiBQ9-k7WRweGA4QVynJ3Wc/edit#slide=id.g794668f02a_0_1">session focusing on direction</a> from the Manaiakalani Programme lead for the coming year.</div><div><br /></div><div><span id="docs-internal-guid-9d5336d1-7fff-85be-cd2d-f0dbdd2a7872">With a bang it came to a abrupt end. All went still as aircons, bubbling coffee pots, data projector and other appliances lost power. And then the phones started ringing as schools called their principals asking 'what to do?' Busses had been turned around, parents had gone to work and most of the principals had driven considerable distances to make it to Waitangi for this hui.</span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span>It was a treat observing the professionalism in the room as these principals calmly made decisions, empowering their 2ICs to make tough calls, and regrouped to focus on their own professional learning.</span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span>The decision was made to continue with the hui, but to reconvene outside as there was no benefit remaining in a room where the temperature was rapidly rising.</span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span>Having had the privilege of working with many of these principals for most of a decade it struck me how digitally competent they all are in 2019. The programme documents and agendas were all online, so people tethered their phones to their laptops to restore the necessary documents. Then got down to the business of the day.</span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span>Kerry and Monica who had the task of leading us through the digital technologies curriculum regrouped and did a superb job in a situation where some may have abandoned this as an impossible ask.</span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span>It was a great reminder of the resilience and competence of our colleagues in the North. They all to often contend with weather-related and other disasters and continue to professionally deliver quality education to their communities. They support young people and whānau in communities facing significant challenges. And they do not get to enjoy the fabulous new school buildings and the reliable fast broadband that the majority of their colleagues in other parts of Aotearoa take for granted.</span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span>It is a privilege to work with you in Te Hiku and the Kaikohekohe Education Network.<br /><div align="left" dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 0pt;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none; table-layout: fixed; width: 523.2755905511812pt;"><colgroup><col></col><col></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-bottom: solid #ffffff 1pt; border-left: solid #ffffff 1pt; border-right: solid #ffffff 1pt; border-top: solid #ffffff 1pt; overflow-wrap: break-word; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 188px; overflow: hidden; width: 334px;"><img height="188" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/kvU-jsDjB_jTVcsuovGvJaGEGFJDvbEy24sUnCrvLNth37vS74Dey_-InEPO14nfSw9DB8OH_3bxAeBkseDabpHiBVWWe2yqXnJJ2boMX3U_1L0Em2L-T9rFMKCQRY3Fs9eln2Uy" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="334" /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">From power and digital connectivity</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To ingenuity and bird song</span></p></td><td style="border-bottom: solid #ffffff 1pt; border-left: solid #ffffff 1pt; border-right: solid #ffffff 1pt; border-top: solid #ffffff 1pt; overflow-wrap: break-word; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 251px; overflow: hidden; width: 334px;"><img height="251" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/YPbLeC9UOeuPdDf2xijWHMByYAVFPevC5u8EHrekvPthAmqDxLxO6dcln_UdS66a7gAMCnG64Ur4TKFO--FAgHkB_JAFODBxswMuRZfxvmYefkvQcgCO92-LQxWNuUrRgsesNDrw" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="334" /></span></span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br /></span></div>Dorothyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06878032140647205425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345031115753569060.post-71807597362985751392018-12-21T14:15:00.000+13:002019-01-13T15:30:24.085+13:00Telling Our Story<div dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 0pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our innovative Manaiakalani teachers and facilitators are preparing professional learning group sessions and staff meetings based on this concept so I thought I would give it a go too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This movie is a slightly expanded version of the Ignite talk - without the relentless auto switching of slides I was able to slow it down a bit! It includes snippets from two movies, a New Zealand documentary "The heART of the Matter" and a fun piece from Will Smith.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

I included this in the presentation. We debated fiercely as we co-constructed a way to synthesise the multiple contributions and after coming to an agreement <a href="http://bobthedog3.blogspot.co.nz/" target="_blank">Karen Ferguson</a> created us a graphic to use. It incorporates the idea that while many definitions of creativity focus around thinking and using our brains, the pathway to creativity for many of us - and the children we teach- involves other parts of the body 'doing creative stuff' before the brain makes sense of it!</span><br />

Many of the CoL teachers were returning for a second year in the role and were very clear in their own minds about how they planned to approach their inquiries this year. The new-to-the-role teachers had done their homework and explored the 2017 inquiries and were equally confident about how they would contribute to the collaborative process.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-E9O1UhNZ7Ok/WoD4rWPbinI/AAAAAAAAN2Q/NXX7gpWtaIEiH-G7iZ11zsee5P4Id3x8gCLcBGAs/s1600/Feb12.001.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="180" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-E9O1UhNZ7Ok/WoD4rWPbinI/AAAAAAAAN2Q/NXX7gpWtaIEiH-G7iZ11zsee5P4Id3x8gCLcBGAs/s320/Feb12.001.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With this foundation, we were able to begin the year ready to launch into collaboration, conversation, and critical thinking.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our website was already populated with the collaborative inquiry groups based around our achievement challenges and people slid into the group conversations with ease.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our first after-school PLG was held on Thursday, February 8th. We had two guest speakers to provoke and support our approach in 2018, both from Auckland University; Dr Jannie Van Hees and Dr Rebecca Jesson.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The outcome of a year of robust and rigorous inquiry in 2017 was a consensus from all teachers that regardless of year level (ie 1-13), curriculum area or achievement challenge, language acquisition and development was proving the biggest barrier to progress and acceleration for young people in Manaiakalani schools. This includes acquisition in the early years and subsequently impacts the ability to transfer and sustain language across school levels and curriculum domains.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was agreed that "Language in Abundance" is the lens for all our inquiries and Dr Jannie Van Hees has been invited to support us. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She opened the conversation with a presentation using the notion that </span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Many of our teachers live-blogged their presentation, adding their reflections and responses. Here is a selection of these.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The next step for us was simply defined as, "Using meta-analysis to identify what works"! We heard anecdotally from teachers over and over in 2017 as it emerged on their blogs and at every PLG and hui presentation. Now we have the opportunity for external assessment of whether the effects are statistically significant (likely to be more than no effect 95% of the time) and whether the effects are stable (does the effect vary a lot?).</span><br />

<h4>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This insight into the impact of the Manaiakalani kaupapa is valuable. </span></h4>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our Manaiakalani Education Trust provides a free wifi network to our learners to support <b><span style="color: #ca489a;">ubiquitous</span></b> learning, and our summer bloggers have made full use of it. The SLJ would be challenging to support if the kaupapa of <b><span style="color: #315753;">visibility</span></b> was not genuinely supported, both for the learners and adults interacting with them. The design of the programme <b><span style="color: #bd2333;">empowered</span></b> our learners and overtly encouraged <b><span style="color: #30b0a3;">connectedness</span></b>. We look forward to exploring the report in depth in Term 3 when our Kahui Ako theme is <i>"Connected Learners Share".</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There was a focus in this report on non-academic skills and 21st century competencies, including the development of individual prosocial skills (eg. communication, collaboration, empathy, support, etc).</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>"The presence of the commenting feature also appeared to drive student engagement and encourage participants to engage positively with the ‘expert’ commenting staff, with family/whanau and with students from New Zealand and overseas.

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>There were also instances in which the commenting staff forged deep and meaningful relationships with the student participants. It was clear that students trusted the expert commenters and were prepared to share personal details of their lives with them. The ‘mutually reinforcing nature’ of this interaction ensured that the students continued to participate and the commenters continued to engage positively with them, driving further, deeper and more meaningful participation from both parties.</i></span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i> The research team strongly believes in the capacity of this digital programme to facilitate the development of genuine personal relationships between individuals separated by geographical distance.</i></span> </b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>They also believe that individual, social and mental/emotional well-being may be enhanced through sustained participation in this programme, particularly for students who may be without much social interaction over the holiday and are at-risk of feeling lonely, alone or under supported.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Finally, I want to acknowledge <b>Manaiakalani teachers and principals</b> who encourage and actively support their learners as they head into the holidays. The report notes that</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>"Rates of engagement were highest amongst ... students attending schools with strong role modelling and support from teaching staff.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The programme being conducted in Manaiakalani schools to address the Summer Learning Effect (where students’ learning is adversely impacted over the summer period, in particular, because many school-like learning activities desist during this time) is being carried out by <a href="http://www.education.auckland.ac.nz/en/about/news/news-2017/online-kids-beating-summer-learning-losses.html" target="_blank">the Woolf Fisher Research Centre and led by Dr Rachel Williams.</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Rachel has recently published an update on the pilot, carried out over the summer of 2015 -2016, tracking the original cohort of participants throughout the 2016 academic year. The difference in achievement over time on writing test scores is shown in this graph. The blue line is the participants, red line is matched baseline control group who did not participate.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Rachel comments:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>"The data suggests to me that participation in the Summer Learning Journey has the potential to truly accelerate achievement in writing for our students. The SLJ participants continued to improve their writing over the course of the 2016 school year and ended with an average e-asTTle score of 74.5 (up from 63.47). Our matched control group also realised a significant improvement in writing over the course of the year (up from -119 to 12.88). Interestingly, however, despite the great gains that the matched control group made they could not catch up with our participants and ended the year approximately 60 points below the SLJ participants. This is a significant difference and represents a genuine 'gap' in achievement for the two groups. I find this quite startling as they both ended the 2015 at the same level. The matched control students then dropped over summer and were not able to re-gain the learning that they had lost over summer while our participants steamed ahead."</i></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A further paper published by Rachel and <a href="http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/saturday/audio/201804138/rebecca-jesson-equal-education">Dr Rebecca Jesson</a> investigates the achievement trajectory of these matched cohorts of young people over five time points. By using data available from the previous year, they show the two cohorts of learners following a parallel pathway from the end of year high in 2014, dropping back over the summer holidays to a low point at the beginning of 2015, then encouraging acceleration during the school year towards a high point at the end of 2015.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And then their pathways separate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Those who participated in the first Summer Learning Journey, blogging over the summer holidays, settle into a positive incline pattern. Those who didn’t, not only continued the ‘yo-yo’ sliding effect, but also failed to catch up during the school year.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Rebecca concludes:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>While this is a small study to gauge the effectiveness of blogging as a suitable vehicle for summer programmes, the results are promising. Of particular note are the sizes of the differences between the writing scores of participants and both estimates of the control condition: students’ own scores in previous summers and the scores of matched control group. This provides initial evidence that participating in a blogging programme over the summer holiday period can attenuate the drop in literacy scores realised by students attending schools in low SES communities. Given the high rates of SLE previously reported by these schools, and the negative effect that low literacy ability has on students, these results offer an important building block for tackling the educational challenge facing these schools, who seek educational solutions to ongoing challenges using digital learning initiatives.</i></span></blockquote>
