SUCCEEDING WITH HABITS OF MIND- ONLINE WORKSHOP

Due to current travel restrictions James will now be delivering this workshop online.

The Habits of Mind are one of the true classics in education. Derived by Art Costa and Bena Kallick, the Habits of Mind describe what the most efficacious learners do when confronted with problems, the solutions to which are not immediately apparent.
For more than 25 years, schools around the world have been working to improve student learning outcomes by infusing the Habits of Mind into their curriculum and classrooms. Over that time we have seen student learning outcomes improve and schools flourish as the Habits of Mind are adopted and lived throughout the school community.

LEARNER AGENCY – a practical school based approach…NOW ONLINE

Due to current travel restrictions James will now be delivering this workshop online.

Learner Agency is fast becoming the latest educational buzzword. It is appearing in educational policy documents around the world, including the New Zealand Key Competencies.
 
But what is “Learner Agency”? Why should school leaders care? How do we support teachers to increase Learner Agency in students, and what tools can we use to guide and measure the impact of our work?
 
It is important for school leaders to understand that agency is not something we can simply give to students. Learner Agency is a capability that needs to be developed by, and within, the learner. Ultimately, learners must carry and continually build their agency throughout their life. And in order to do that, we need a clear school based definition and a set of practical tools and strategies to enable teachers to work meaningfully with these ideas.

Discover your Inner Creative…STEM /MAKERSPACES

STEAM Unleashed (Chris Clay)

In today’s exponentially accelerating knowledge age, teachers recognise the need to create practices that help students develop their own ideas as well as learn about the ideas of others. Whilst this is important across the curriculum it is vital in STEM subjects. STEM Unleashed empowers teachers to transform their classrooms into innovative incubators of awesomeness. You will learn to design challenges that help students build knowledge collaboratively; in the same way as scientists and open source technologists.

MAKERSPACES (Mark Osborne)

Whether you’re setting up a makerspace in your school or a maker corner in your classroom, this workshop will give you a set of guiding principles and practical tools to help you on your way. From designing powerful learning experiences to managing hands-on activities with students, we’ll look at both the theoretical and the practical, exploring a wide range of emerging technologies and ways to use them to create powerful learning.

Getting Personal with Inquiry Learning – ONLINE with Kath Murdoch

Due to ongoing travel restrictions this workshop will now be online

A  workshop for teachers in primary/middle years who want to take inquiry further and who believe in the power of personal passions!

Participants in this workshop will receive excerpts from Kath’s upcoming book “Getting Personal with Inquiry Learning”

“ Whatever your circumstances, you need to find time to be in your element – to do what gives you energy rather than what takes it from you.” Ken Robinson, 2013

There has been growing interest in ‘personalised learning’ for many years now. Increasingly, schools are making arrangements to provide more opportunities for learners to learn to be self-directed and to have their needs and interests met through the curriculum.  An inquiry-based approach is an approach that recognizes the importance of learner voice and choice and of linking new learning to the existing knowledge, experiences and interests of the learner.

The Art of Inquiry Teaching- ONLINE with Kath Murdoch

Due to ongoing travel restrictions this workshop will now be online
‘The Art of Inquiry Teaching’: a practical workshop exploring the pedagogy of inquiry with Kath Murdoch

What’s it all about?

We have known for a long time now that the key to improving student learning is for teachers themselves to have opportunities to strengthen their own pedagogy. This is no easy feat when we are bombarded with demands that so often fall outside our core work – teaching! This workshop is about turning the spotlight on the complex, fascinating experience of teaching through, for and of inquiry.

Discover your Inner Creative…MUSIC

Jellybeans Music – Margaret White
Music is the accepted universal way of expression in all stages of our lives. Music is ever present in our everyday lives at all ages and for all cultures. It represents an enjoyable activity with its influence going beyond simple enjoyment. We listen to music, sing, play and compose music throughout our lives allowing us to express personal feelings and brings many positive effects to people around us.
Many benefits of music have been recognized in recent times. Research in music sciences have identified several dimensions of human life (cognitive, psychological, social and emotional) which seem to be positively affected by music.

COMPLEX BEHAVIOUR : Simple Interventions…for the classroom

A one-day workshop unpacking the neuroscience around complex behaviour.
Across Aotearoa, there are a growing number of children who display increasingly complex behaviours.  This can get overwhelming for those working in any profession where there is interaction with children and youth. Within schools, the issue is amplified due to the amount of contact time you have.  This means those of you working in schools can have an increased impact, but conversely, you can feel more overwhelmed. For some of our children, they have such complex needs, it is incredibly difficult to know where to begin…This one-day workshop will begin by unpacking the neuroscience of trauma.

TRAUMA INFORMED TRAINING

Seminar will cover:
• What impact can early trauma have on behaviour of children / adolescents?
• How the brain connects/learns. The impact this has on the behaviour we see and how we can effect change.
• What elements we need to create in the environment to increase likelihood of behaviour change?
• How we can evaluate and notice true behaviour change?

This workshop will cover how trauma can impact the development of the brain. Understanding what contributes to behaviour development is the most important and influential path to being able to change behaviour.
