This issue:

Spotlight on our workforce Editor’s note The purpose of the Education Gazette is to celebrate New Zealand’s education sector – it provides an opportunity to reflect on some of the great learning and engagement that’s happening all over the country, and a chance to explore opportunities to continue to learn and grow. This issue is about celebrating the people who drive this learning and development – the teachers, principals, support staff and everyone who makes a difference to the lives of our tamariki. In this issue we meet Kealyn, a teacher at a Wellington high school. We meet Sara and Amy, new learning support coordinators at an Auckland intermediate school. We meet Rawiri, a tumuaki driving leadership opportunities for others. We meet Penelope, an early learning teacher in Christchurch. We meet Jess, a teacher aide in Waikanae. They provide a small snapshot of the many people who rise to the daily opportunities and challenges to meet the needs of ākonga. The Ministry of Education is keen to recognise the capability of the workforce and ensure it feels valued, connected and supported.

TE AO MĀORI/PĀKEHĀ MĀORI/PAKEHA

Kealyn Marshall was inspired by many role models and mentors including his aunty, Karleen Marshall, principal of Tawhero School, Whanganui.

TE AO MĀORI/PĀKEHĀ

Passion for sharing language and culture A Newlands College teacher who received a TeachNZ Tipu Whakarito Te Reo Māori scholarship is making a significant difference in only his second full year at the school.

ealyn Marshall (Te Whānau-a-Apanui, Ngā Ruahine, Ngā Rauru, Ngāti Pamoana & Te Atihaunui-ā-paparangi) is kaiako of business studies, economics and te reo Māori and Māori performing arts. He has been instrumental in driving kapa haka at the Wellington high school. He grew up in a te reo Māori-speaking whānau in Whanganui, brought up by his mum and his nan. He spent time with other grandparents who lived on a marae on the Whanganui River. He attended kōhanga reo, before switching to mainstream primary school and high school. “I was fortunate enough to be brought up by my nan, who was a native speaker of te reo Māori. I feel that I was brought up in both worlds: that I was exposed to Te Ao Māori and Te Ao Pākehā,” he says. “At boarding school in Palmerston North, there were two teachers who were strong in Te Ao Māori and I really resonated with them and they made an effort to make a connection with me and my Māori peers. “They worked really hard for us, provided us with all these opportunities, made sure we were proud to be Māori and I really wanted to be able to provide that same experience for my tauira [students]. If I could represent that in a mainstream school, that was something I really wanted to do.”

OE confirmed love of culture When Kealyn finished school, he felt he was strong in his language and culture but wanted to experience more. He worked in the UK and spent 12 months travelling in Europe. “It confirmed for me that my own language and culture is really important, and I should always base my foundation off that to be able to be successful.

“I came home and began study at Victoria University, where I pursued my love of my own culture through studying te reo Māori and also my huge interest in the business world and developing economic growth.” Kealyn’s journey towards teaching was supported by a TeachNZ scholarship, which covered the cost of his course fees and provided him with an annual study allowance. “I decided to go teaching because I felt there were lots of Māori kids who didn’t necessarily have the access to the Māori education sector, in terms of kura kaupapa Māori. I wanted to ensure that those Māori kids would have the same education experience in a mainstream school that our total immersion kids would have. “Lots of my colleagues and friends ask me why I don’t work in a Māori immersion school and I say: ‘We have lots of Māori here at Newlands College and we’ve got to ensure that those 10 per cent get the same, if not better, learning experience as Māori in an immersion school.”

Support from senior leadership Kealyn says Newlands College has been developing its focus on te reo and Te Ao Māori significantly. “We’ve been working really, really hard. We re-established kapa haka last year and that was a huge milestone for Newlands College. We took them back to the regionals, went on a four-day excursion to the Whanganui River and we stayed on my marae at Koroniti. That was really significant and also awesome to see our kids represent themselves so proudly at the Wellington Secondary School Regional Kapa Haka competition. “We work closely alongside our senior leadership team in terms of discussions around things Māori and also work alongside staff to ensure the school is adhering to our commitment to Te Tiriti and to Te Ao Māori. Building relationships with students – Māori and non-Māori – helps them become lifelong learners, says Kealyn.

TE AO MĀORI/PĀKEHĀ

Kapa haka has been revitalised at Newlands College. Kealyn wants Māori children in mainstream schools to have the same opportunities as those who attend kura.

“We really do put it down to the support that our senior leadership team provides us. It’s kind of like a tuakana teina partnership where, when it comes to things Māori, we are the tuakana [mentors]. They have found that in allowing those opportunities, they have learned a lot and it’s really awesome to see,” he says.

Mahi produces results While it was initially hard mahi to get whānau involved in kapa haka at the school last year, Kealyn and his team were blown away when 100 people turned up at a whānau hui at the start of 2020. “We only had about five whānau in the first year who would turn up week in, week out – who would take time off work to come and help our kaupapa, provide kai for our kids, drop the kids off after practice wherever they lived,” he says. “When we came back this year, there were over 100 people at our first whānau hui. We couldn’t believe how far we had come in such a small time. It was really awesome to see that the mahi we put in last year, and the contribution those core whānau had made, had got back out into the community. “We knew there were a lot of Māori coming through in our new Year 9 intake, but we just

needed them to get in the door and be comfortable with being part of the learning journey here at Newlands.”

Building relationships works Kealyn believes that forming relationships with all students – Māori and nonMāori – through whanaungatanga and manaakitanga helps students become connected and confident lifelong learners. “Building relationships with them is really important, valuing things Māori, encouraging them to be proud to be Māori and also providing pathways, learning experiences, opportunities – things like kapa haka – in our school. “What works for Māori works for all kids. I have high expectations for all my students – we want them to be always pursuing excellence and pushing themselves to do the best that they can. It doesn’t matter what upbringing, ethnicity or cultural background that they come from; we want them to be the best they can. I find that the values that have been instilled in me through tikanga Māori and Te Ao Māori work really well for all students because you are digging deeper into that whole learning experience.

“The more opportunities I can give for whānau to be involved in the learning, breaks down some of those barriers that otherwise they would have found challenging in terms of being involved in the learning of their tamariki.”

Business is important too As for Kealyn’s passion for economics and business: he says that in terms of studying, he wanted to have pathways into both the Māori world and the business world. “I think that being Māori we have the values and the culture to be successful in any pathway that we choose. Particularly in the business world, where, as Māori, we have the opportunity to make a difference or have an impact on the economic growth of our whānau, hapū and Iwi. “Academia isn’t the be-all and end-all throughout the learning journey. But if I’m able to instil some key principles and values, or help kids to identify what their values and principles are, then they will be successful no matter what they choose to do – whether it’s go to university, get an apprenticeship, or perhaps just get a job and start to work.”

“I find that the values that have been instilled in me through tikanga and Te Ao Māori work really well for all students because you are digging deeper into that whole learning experience.” Kealyn Marshall 4

LEARNING SUPPORT

“We’ve really been able to run”

The impact of learning support coordinators

Kirsty Clark, Katrina Boxall and Angela Dye Hayes are taking a collaborative approach to implementing the Learning Support Delivery Model.

LEARNING SUPPORT

The addition of two learning support coordinators at Avonside Girls’ High School has made a world of difference to what the school’s learning support team is able to achieve within the school community.

learners who need support, and help track learners’ progress over time.

Upon hearing that Avonside Girls’ was among the first tranche of schools to be allocated learning support coordinators (LSCs), Principal Sue Hume and the leadership team made the strategic decision to retain Katrina’s SENCo (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) role and expand the capacity and capability of the learning support team with the addition of two LSCs. The team also includes six learning support assistants.

he learning support team at Avonside Girls’ High School in Christchurch works out of the school’s Enrichment Centre, an open-plan, open-access space located at the heart of the school for students to access the learning support they require. Head of Learning Support Katrina Boxall, with the support of her team and the school’s senior leadership, has led a whole-school approach to learning support, implementing the Learning Support Delivery Model to ensure that every learner is receiving the right support at the right time. This approach extends to working with agencies and alongside other schools in their cluster to support smooth transitions for students.

Learning support registers Over the past few years, Avonside Girls’ High School’s learning support register has been strengthened as steps have been taken to identify and understand the full range of students’ learning needs, which currently include specific learning difficulties, sensory impairments and self-regulation challenges. Learning support registers are useful because they provide a consistent way to talk about learning support needs, show the number of

However, despite progress, Katrina was beginning to feel her role wasn’t sustainable. “I’d been attempting to implement a range of initiatives and while it appeared change was impacting individual students well, I just couldn’t put the wheels on the ground for other, more wide-ranging, interventions. I could advise, guide and suggest, but I couldn’t put enough of the physical support to enable that to happen.”

Real commitment Katrina says she is proud of the school’s approach and believes it shows a real commitment to providing targeted and meaningful support for the learners in their wider community. They were clear from the outset what skill sets they needed within the new positions to deliver this support: a specific learning difficulties teacher and a primary teacher, preferably with RTLB experience, who would be able to assist in the drive for school improvement. Kirsty Clark and Angela Dye Hayes emerged from the recruitment process as the new LSCs and started their new roles at the beginning of 2020. Katrina says they’re already having a positive impact on what

the learning support team is able to achieve within the school community and wider cluster of schools.

Consistency in practice Kirsty and Angela meet several times a term with the LSCs from their cluster to discuss issues pertinent to their Kāhui Ako, provide resources in their relevant specialist areas and to ensure some consistency in practice and procedure. The LSCs compare notes on the learning support register, making sure it is fit for purpose and aligns with the priorities in the the Learning Support Action Plan – a plan that helps guide the cluster’s approach to learning support delivery. They are conscious of being flexible and adaptable, in order to meet the burgeoning needs across their wider school community. “Transition between schools has been an early focus, ensuring our language around specific learning needs and behavioural difficulties has been consistent and therefore informative,” says Katrina. It is evident that students are appreciating increased access to support for their learning. “Students are increasingly advocating for their own needs because the response is quicker, more visible and tailored to their needs,” says Katrina.

Staff engagement Engagement with staff has increased, more students are being supported in a range of flexible ways, and they’re much further down the track with getting external support when needed. “We’ve really been able to run. I’m really thrilled with how quickly we’ve been able to gain momentum.”

LEARNING SUPPORT

New LSCs find their stride Education Gazette talks to two learning support coordinators who are enjoying the opportunities and challenges within their new roles.

ara Badawi and Amy Russell are learning support coordinators (LSCs) at Glen Eden Intermediate School in Auckland. They were among the first tranche of LSCs to be allocated across the country as part of the Learning Support Action Plan 2019-2025. Sara and Amy have taken similar pathways into the role. They completed the same course at university and enjoyed stints of teaching overseas before returning to New Zealand and working within the Resource Teachers: Learning and Behaviour (RTLB) service.

More access to support Sara says she was drawn to specialist teaching because she wanted to see more equitable access to learning support.

cluster level, they support and promote inclusive values and practices. The set-up at Glen Eden Intermediate School is an example of how the LSC position can work well. Amy and Sara worked with their senior leadership team to look at how the new LSC roles might work in their setting. “Big picture, we’re working at a system level to get things running a bit smoother. But then there’s always the things that crop up on a day-today basis that mean we’re more reactionary in some aspects,” says Amy. Sara agrees. “On a day-to-day level it does vary. Our aim is to be strategic and proactive in what we do and be quite planned and targeted, but we’re working with people, so we have to be responsive and reflective.”

“For me it was the access to resourcing and the quality of teaching and learning and the mismatch between what students would get at some schools and not others, based on my experience.

Clear pathway

“That was what drove me to think how we could approach it in a more systemic way. That’s why I went into the RTLB service because I thought at least then I can hit a number of schools, rather than just being in one school.”

They are working on creating a clear pathway to identify the students who need to be included on the learning support register as well as using common language around describing the needs, challenges and strengths of those children.

Sara believes the introduction of the LSC role has been a positive step towards providing more access to support for students who need it. She would love to see LSCs rolled out to all schools.

Amy and Sara work closely with external agencies, the RTLB service and directly with teachers, teacher aides and students across the school – covering everything from professional development and day-to-day coaching for teacher aides, to establishing relationships with students’ families, to helping teachers support the diverse learning needs of every child in their class.

“It makes us really aware of wanting to do a good job so we can prove that this model really works and then hopefully that roll-out then continues,” agrees Amy.

Response to repeated requests The LSC role has been established in response to requests over many years for a dedicated, funded, full-time learning support role in schools. The purpose of the role is to make sure that children and young people with mild-to-moderate neuro-diverse, or complex learning support needs, receive appropriate help when needed. As part of their role, LSCs help identify, understand and plan for the needs of these learners in their local communities, coordinating and simplifying access to the relevant services and resources. At a classroom, school and

“We’ve used Google Read&Write as an ‘in’ into each of the classrooms as a Universal Design for Learning approach. We’re trying to look at it more as, ‘here are some tools that could be used universally to support the needs of all your students, but it might really help the needs of this particular learner’,” says Sara.

Sara Badawi and Amy Russell enjoy working with other learning support coordinators in their cluster to meet the needs of learners in their community.

“Our aim is to be strategic and proactive in what we do and be quite planned and targeted, but we’re working with people, so we have to be responsive and reflective.” Sara Badawi They work with the Ministry of Education’s learning support service managers and specialist teams as well as other agencies and providers to deliver joined-up and appropriate support. “Another big area that we’re looking at is transitions,” says Amy. “Being an intermediate school, we have 500-plus students arriving and leaving every year. “And that’s one of the beauties of having LSCs in every school in our Kāhui Ako: all 14 of us can communicate and collaborate so that the transition process between schools can be a lot smoother for students.”

Joint inquiry Sara and Amy are pursuing a joint inquiry into finding out how the LSC role can achieve the greatest impact for all learners. While it was a little difficult initially coming into a new role that wasn’t widely understood by staff, both have found their stride and are enjoying the LSC position. “It’s great being based in a school – that sense of a community and the connections you can make with teachers, students and families,” says Amy.

About the LSC role Introducing learning support coordinators in schools and kura is a key priority in the Learning Support Action Plan 2019-2025. They are an integral part of the Learning Support Delivery Model, a flexible and joined-up approach to learning support. Within their schools and clusters, learning support coordinators will build the capability of kaiako and teachers; identify and plan for the learning support needs of all learners; and be available to support learners and their whānau.

Tumuaki building capability A new leadership programme for new and aspiring tumuaki is delivered from a kaupapa Māori, indigenous world view.

otearoa has a new tumuaki (principal) professional development programme, Whakangungu Tumuaki, to help new principals to excel in our unique indigenous education system. That’s according to programme director Rawiri Wright, who is of Te Arawa, Ngāti Kahungunu and Ngāti Raukawa descent. The programme was initiated, designed and is delivered by Te Rūnanganui o Ngā Kura Kaupapa Māori o Aotearoa with support from Te Uepū Reo Māori in the Ministry of Education.

Unique Māori programme Rawiri says that Kura Kaupapa Māori whānau nationwide had been calling for a unique Māori programme for many years as other principal development programmes on offer had nothing Māori about them and were counterproductive to many aspects of kaupapa Māori education. The programme is specifically for new or nearnew Kura Kaupapa Māori Aho Matua tumuaki and covers everything they need to know, from preparing budgets to managing monthly and annual finances, doing strategic plans, writing official reports, managing staffing matters and conciliating matters of conflict.  Most importantly, everything is delivered from a kaupapa Māori, indigenous world view and is based on the guiding philosophy of Kura Kaupapa Māori, Te Aho Matua. It is that aspect that makes the Whakangungu Tumuaki programme unique.  “Nothing else in the country comes close to it,” says Rawiri.

Empowering leaders “The design, approach and delivery of the programme is, we believe, something that will resonate with indigenous educators around the globe. It’s a potential world leader in indigenous education. “It is about empowering leaders in education settings to be the absolute best they can, in terms of the profession itself, but also in terms of their specific cultural, linguistic, political, spiritual and economic setting.” Rawiri says the programme is inspired by the freedom education ideology of the likes of Paolo Freire and the original Te Aho Matua Working Party, who are credited with the establishment of the Kura Kaupapa Māori movement.  “The programme is also about helping tumuaki shake off the shackles of colonisation and colonialisation, and adopting a tino rangatiratanga or self-determination approach to managing their kura,” adds Rawiri.

“We now have the right mix that will benefit these new tumuaki to be more effective and more confident more quickly.” Rawiri Wright

for educational success New opportunity

Upskilling and growth

In 2018, the opportunity arose to submit a programme outline to the Ministry of Education for consideration.

Rawiri says the aim is to run cohorts of eight to 10 tumuaki for the next six to eight years.

“To their credit, the programme and subsequent funding was made available for 2019,” says Rawiri. “Ka nui a mātou mihi ki a rātou!”

“We anticipate that will give us the opportunity to upskill all our new and near-new tumuaki currently working in our kura, and to also start growing a new crop of likely tumuaki ready to step up.

A 36-week pilot programme was run throughout 2019 for 10 new or relatively new Kura Kaupapa Māori Aho Matua tumuaki from throughout Aotearoa, including four from Te Waka a Māui, says Rawiri. “It was such a success, we have decided to continue the programme for another year for the first cohort and have added another cohort for the next two years,” he adds. “We’ve refined the programme and changed the format based on participant feedback and we think we now have the right mix that will benefit these new tumuaki to be more effective and more confident more quickly.”

“We are hopeful there will soon be a surge in the number and size of Kura Kaupapa Māori Aho Matua nationally and we need to be ready for that,” says Rawiri. “The other matter, of course, is to grow more Kura Kaupapa Māori Aho Matua kaiako. We’re working on that through our joint venture programme with Massey University, but we know that needs to be ramped up also. “So let’s just say, watch this space!”

SCHOOL LEAVERS’ TOOLKIT

2019 Youth Parliament in action.

New civics resources for young New Zealanders New civics education resources have been developed as part of the School Leavers’ Toolkit to help prepare young people for life beyond school.

aria Perreau is looking forward to seeing the newly released civics education resources in action in schools around New Zealand. Maria is the national facilitator for subject association Aotearoa Social Studies Educators’ Network, which has been included in consultations about the development of the resources since the beginning. The resources have been developed by the Ministry of Education in consultation with the sector as part of the School Leavers’ Toolkit, which is designed to help young people transition into adulthood with confidence.

Education Gazette 29 June 2020

“This is a really significant piece of work the Ministry has funded; we’re really pleased that we’ve been involved and we’re pleased with the quality of the product that is going out,” says Maria. Civics and citizenship education is already well embedded in the principles and values of The New Zealand Curriculum as well as in the Social Studies learning area. “I think this particular resource is necessary because it actually brings those things together for teachers in a way that hasn’t been done before,” she says.

“It’s quite empowering – teachers can approach this in ways that are really meaningful and authentic.”

Evidence-based approaches Maria says the resource provides excellent evidence-based approaches for teaching and learning civics and citizenship education that can be used in both specialist and nonspecialist subjects. “One thing that it does really well is that it deals with issues that are relevant today,” she says. She points to an example involving pōhutukawa trees in Takapuna that highlights the importance of decision-making around use of land and resources. gazette.education.govt.nz

SCHOOL LEAVERS’ TOOLKIT

“The idea is that they will be able to build their citizenship skills so that participating in our democracy becomes a lifelong habit.” Maria Perreau “There’s some really rich learning there, and importantly, young people can get involved in those decision-making processes – it’s not just something that has to happen to them; it’s actually something that they can have a voice about, especially if it’s happening in their local area.” Also included in the suite of resources are: » a teaching and learning guide that covers themes such as Te Tiriti o Waitangi, global citizenship and explores strategies to discuss controversial issues with your students. » learning activities that explore what living in a democracy means and informs students about their rights as citizens. Students can also learn skills such as how to activate change and navigate diversity and conflict through these activities among other skills. » a curriculum approaches table to support understanding of what learning has been covered in earlier programmes and provide a springboard to create learning programmes that can be used at all levels. With a national election fast approaching, the resource is bound to resonate with students. “The idea is that they will be able to build their citizenship skills so that participating in our democracy becomes a lifelong habit – not just at a national level, but at a local level, too,” says Maria.

gazette.education.govt.nz

Young people who are engaged in civics education are more likely to vote in the future and the skills they learn will contribute to future accountability and transparency in government and media (including social media). Civics education can help build students’ skills surrounding community engagement, public speaking and effective communication with democratic institutions. Maria points out that the research also shows that if young people are learning these things at school and discussing them in the classroom, they take it home and talk to their families and whānau about it. “So it’s actually a really good way to engage whole communities,” she says.

Accessing the new civics resources The new resources can be accessed on the School Leavers’ Toolkit teacher-facing website. Training workshops are also being held in term 3 to support educators and schools to integrate School Leavers’ Toolkit programmes, including these resources, into their local curriculum. More information on these workshops will be coming soon. Schools are encouraged to partner with organisations to build their civics and toolkit programmes to create significant learning experiences for students. More information can be found on the School Leavers’ Toolkit teacher’s website.

SPECIALIST TEACHING

Learners at heart of refreshed specialist teaching diploma A specialist teaching programme is being re-visioned with a focus on partnerships and self-directed learning to help enhance the skills of specialist teachers.

or the past decade, the Ministry of Education has supported over 300 teachers each year to undertake the Postgraduate Diploma in Specialist Teaching offered by Massey University’s Institute of Education and the University of Canterbury’s College of Education. From 2021, Massey University will be the sole provider of the diploma. The Ministry acknowledges the University of Canterbury’s immense contribution to helping build a robust and relevant qualification. Building on the success of this programme, Massey has entered into a new funding agreement with the Ministry to work in partnership with the sector to refresh and relaunch the diploma. The diploma has six endorsements: Early Intervention; Learning and Behaviour; Blind and Low Vision; Deaf and Hard of Hearing; Complex Educational Needs; and Gifted. The Ministry of Education’s Learning Support Study Awards support classroom teachers and resource teachers to complete the qualification. There will be a significant shift in focus for the two-year course, says Associate Professor Alison Kearney, Head of the Institute of Education, and Associate Professor Mandia Mentis, Associate Head of School. The re-visioned diploma will strongly feature partnerships to co-design and co-develop the programme. “We are building on strength – we do want to acknowledge what has been contributed and we’re building on that work we have done over the past 10 years with the University of Canterbury and Ministry of Education. We’re just tweaking it in certain areas to strengthen it areas such as digital, flexibility and working in the regions with mana whenua,” says Mandia. “We know that the biggest difference we can make for our children is having really effective, well-prepared teachers,” says Alison.

Education Gazette 29 June 2020

“Historically we’ve focused on fixing children and it just hasn’t worked. And now we’re more focusing on getting a really great education system for a very diverse range of students that is fit for purpose in terms of inclusive environments and all children taking their place in a 21st-century society.”

Cross-sector partnerships key A governance kaitiaki group will guide the course and provide links to a range of partners in the education sector. The group is made up of Māori; representatives from stakeholders such as Blind and Low Vision Education Network NZ, Deaf Education Centre, Autism New Zealand; past students; people with disabilities; and parents of students with disabilities or who have experienced difficulty at school. “This is a real partnership that is not about us developing something and then going to our stakeholders and saying ‘what do you think?’ but more about us asking ‘what is going to be a really good quality programme that is going to meet the needs of gifted learners, learners who are neuro-diverse or have disabilities?’,” says Alison.

Self-directed learning Mandia says the programme features a combination of theory and practice. The first year will focus mainly on theory, particularly regarding the chosen endorsement. The second year will include a practicum where the theory is applied, working with mana whenua in each student’s region. “In one of the more innovative courses, called flexible learning pathways, students will take modules, attend webinars and do activities and tasks that will be fit for their purpose, so it’s very individualised,” says Mandia. Feedback from past students is that students initially find self-directed learning challenging but then appreciate being able to design their own curriculum to meet the needs of their own learning and contexts. “The curriculum allows students to meet the competencies through a self-assessment of their learning needs, as well as what’s required in their context and community. They then design their own learning goals that are

relevant for their context, themselves and meet the competencies,” explains Mandia. “This is nothing like a university course that many of us might have taken,” says Alison. “It makes us realise how innovative this programme is, because sometimes students haven’t been to university for a while and they think there might be a study guide with 10 readings, start on page one, and hand in three assignments. That could be nothing further from the truth in terms of this qualification. “We’re really moving into new notions of what it means to be a programme based on 21st-century ideas about what we’re going to need moving forward. We have so much content with that depth of their professional knowledge, but the students will be designing their pathway through that content,” she says.

Neurodiversity is normal diversity The diploma used to include an endorsement for autism spectrum disorders, but autism and neurodiversity will now be spread across all of the endorsements. “Autism and neurodiversity is a critical area and we’re starting to realise that all individuals have learning needs,” says Mandia. “So this notion of neurodiversity as a new concept enables us to look at children who have diverse learning needs and how to best meet those needs. Our take is that all children who are marginalised should have their learning needs met, and our orientation to that is very much equity-based – meeting the language, cultural and identity needs of all learners.” “This is a programme that ensures we have a system in place that meets the needs of all learners, particularly those who have historically not had the best deal in education,” adds Alison. “We’re trying to turn that notion around – why is it that the children have to struggle? We need a system that meets their needs where they don’t have to struggle. We’ve still got work to go, but this is a programme that we hope is going to really develop those robust systems where we don’t have students struggle in the way they have been.” gazette.education.govt.nz

Helping grow great teachers Education Gazette catches up with three recipients of Ministry of Education Learning Support Study Awards.

Associate Professor Mandia Mentis.

Broadening specialist teaching field The re-visioned programme aims to create ‘T-shaped’ professionals who have depth in their specialist areas and breadth to be able to work inter-professionally with teachers and other professionals in the field, in order to change the learning environment to best meet the needs of diverse learners. It will build on digital skills and be more multi-modal, using digital pedagogies that are fit for a specialist way of learning. The programme’s leaders also want to encourage more Māori and Pacific students to undertake the qualification, as well as students with lived experience of disabilities. “We work with classroom and resource teachers, who will then work with their colleagues and whānau to bring about that shift to start focusing on learners in a much more strength-based way – to have an optimistic approach to see how the environment can be changed and their teaching can be changed to bring about positive gains. It’s very much a strengths-based, evidence-based, optimistic alternative kind of approach,” says Mandia. The 2021 round of applications for learning support study awards opens on 1 August 2020 and closes on 30 September 2020.

Gina completed the Postgraduate Diploma in Specialist Teaching with a complex educational needs endorsement and then went on to receive her master’s degree with distinction. Gina is currently on extended maternity leave. Has the course helped shape your understanding of children with complex learning needs? The course allowed me to spend time listening to the voices of students, parents, practitioners, professionals and researchers, and this deepened my understanding of how to support students with complex needs.

It helped me create a repository of resources that I have made, resources that I have found, resources suggested by others, and links to research that I will be able to refer back to and continue to add to for years.

I learned new strategies, read the research behind different evidencebased approaches, found and made new resources, and learned more about child rights, student agency, culturally responsive pedagogy, and so much more.

I also met incredible people, including practitioners throughout New Zealand, who share my passions.

Definitely. It has provided me with opportunities to be reflective on my teaching practice in a way that I haven’t given myself time for in the past.

them, but this was very time-consuming and ultimately not that useful.

What was the biggest ‘takeaway’ from the course for you?

Now I see how our early childhood education (ECE) curriculum Te Whāriki and learning story assessment models are perfectly suited to working with diverse children, as they already focus on assessing and teaching children as individuals.

Relationships are key – it doesn’t matter how much you know about a particular condition or how many strategies you have under your belt if you don’t know the child.

Through this, I can trust in my knowledge of children, child development, and learning progressions to provide quality planning and teaching for children with identified needs.  Do you feel like the course has helped you grow as a teacher?

Alisa Bowden Alisa is senior teacher at Eastern Bays Learning Centre. Alisa completed the Postgraduate Diploma in Specialist Teaching with a complex educational needs endorsement. How has the course helped shape your understanding of children with complex learning needs? Absolutely. We all care deeply about the children we work with and want the best possible learning outcomes for them. But sometimes we get caught up in trying to address the needs and forget the child. Before this course, I would research everything I could about the label/diagnosis given to a child and suggested strategies for supporting

Education Gazette 29 June 2020

Most certainly. The Education Act 1989 is clear that everyone, regardless of their specific learning needs, is entitled to receive state education and that schools are required to provide inclusive opportunities for all learners. It can feel overwhelming as a teacher when you do not feel confident or knowledgeable about how to provide this. Leading up to this course, working with children with identified needs made me feel unsure and often guilty about whether I was ‘doing the right thing’. This course has given me more confidence in supporting children with specific learning needs and their families, using the knowledge, skills, and experience I already have. I also realised our ‘notice, recognise, respond’ model of assessment is all about adjusting strategies to suit individual children, and it’s okay to ‘guess’ so long as you are reflective and responsive to a child’s strengths, needs, and interests.

Ultimately, the quality and strength of the relationships we forge with tamariki create the best learning opportunities. Partnership with families is part of this, as they come with a wealth of knowledge about their child and can give you a head start on knowledge and support – more than any academic article, pedagogical theory, or diagnostic report.  Would you recommend it to other specialist teachers? I would recommend it to all teachers. I am not a specialist teacher, and it has helped my teaching immensely. All teachers will work with children who need individual support in the classroom or ECE centre, and so all teachers need to have skills, knowledge, and strategies for working with diverse children in their kete. One of the best things about this course is that your assignments create personal goals for your context. I was able to focus on specific children in my centre and adjust my planning and teaching to best support them. That made it feel less theoretical and more applicable as a form of professional development. The study award made a huge difference for me as well because it provided the time that I would not typically get in my working week to reflect, research, and record my progress.

study period deepened my knowledge and understanding of children with diverse learning needs, and the professional growth provided a sound foundation for my role as an RTLB.

Through this course, I learned to really value the access whānau have to historical information, and their unique knowledge of their children.

Using local and international literature, studies and research in a range of fields, I gained strategies in supporting individual students, teachers and schools.

Would you recommend it to other specialist teachers?

During this time, I developed a keen interest in gifted education, and in 2017 I was granted an Area Schools Study Award to complete my Master of Specialist Teaching qualification with Massey University. Do you feel like the course has helped you grow as a teacher? Most definitely. These courses provided essential knowledge and skills in my role as an RTLB, and I also learned so much more about collaboration with other supporting agencies and the diverse roles and functions of others in education.

I am a lifelong learner, and I am growing all the time as a teacher. When working with different students, their whānau, teachers and schools, I can contextualise, be open to understanding their identified needs, and work collaboratively to present successful outcomes. What was the biggest ‘takeaway’ from the course for you? My number one takeaway is about starting from a ‘strengths-based’ approach – what the student can do, their interests and what they enjoy. My number two takeaway is that the ‘whānau voice’ is essential when supporting any learner. At times, educational settings may not always provide opportunities to hear from parents, caregivers and whānau.

Every specialist teacher needs to be provided with this training as it will deepen their knowledge, skills set and understanding. It will also challenge and improve their practice as it most definitely did for me. You did a short course with a focus on gifted learners. How has this aided your career? In our RTLB cluster, I hold the ‘Area of Responsibility’ facilitator role for 2020, and the area of ‘giftedness’ with regard to the Learning Support Action Plan. Priority five of this plan is about meeting the learning needs of gifted children and young people, and this short course was especially essential for our team of seven to work through during the Covid-19 lockdown. We used Zoom for one-hour lectures delivered by Massey University. Then as a team in weekly two-hour sessions, we would engage with literature and reading materials, and share summaries of these readings. The collaboration, discussions and contributions that came out of this short course gave each member of our team a sound knowledge base for gifted education. Our team is now working on projects to support some schools in developing a gifted learner policy, relevant for their school community.

It’s about compassion, confidentiality, trust, laughing out loud and crying with frustration.

SABBATICAL AWARD

Weaving the past and the present A korowai project to honour a former principal will weave together a New Plymouth school’s past, present and future whānau and community.

acred Heart Girls’ College Manawa Tapu, New Plymouth, is a stateintegrated Catholic Year 7–13 college. When former principal Diane Kawana (Ngāi Tūāhuriri, Ngāi Tahu) died in 2015, the school community wanted to honour her 22 years of contribution to the school as a teacher and then principal. Friend and colleague Pauline Koorey says that Diane was well loved by the whole community and while the school considered a number of options, it was thought that weaving a korowai would be the most appropriate way to honour her. “She had done really good work in our community. We had already embarked on good cultural responsiveness methods as a school and this seemed to fit,” says Pauline.

Korowai symbolic Pauline applied for and was awarded a TeachNZ sabbatical in 2019. The sabbatical enabled Pauline to take a term’s leave to focus on the korowai project, while funding a reliever to cover her role and responsibilities. This allowed her to stay connected with the school as she wrote and recorded the project. She says a cloak is symbolic of the school in many ways.

gazette.education.govt.nz

“The school has a really strong tradition of looking after people. Our Mission founder, Euphrasie Barbier, came to New Zealand and her mission was about education for women and young girls – and particularly Māori. That’s the tradition we have tried to carry on. Cloaks have come and gone within the school in terms of symbolism and imagery, says Pauline, but the school has never had that physical, but symbolic, embodiment of what it is about. “I firmly believe that people’s stories need to be told – the stories of the people and the symbols and the narratives around how we do things are really important. “I’ve been at Sacred Heart for quite a while so I’m really very concerned that who we are as a people currently doesn’t lose sight of where we’ve come from, because where we’ve come from will inform where we want to go. “So it’s a story of how we’ve brought the ideologies of our cultural responsiveness and our Catholicity together,” she explains.

Weaver reflects manaakitanga The Kawana whānau were consulted about the korowai and chose kairaranga (weaver) Jo Ngaia (Ngāpuhi) to weave the korowai. Jo is a kaiako at Te Wānanga

O Aotearoa in New Plymouth. She has been helped by Mako Jones (Ngāti Pahauwera) who has whānau links to Sacred Heart. “There are lots of languages that a korowai speaks. Every year we have a school focus and in 2018, when we began fundraising for this project, the focus was whiria te tangata – weave the people together.” As the weaving progressed, Jo listened to what the school wanted and shared her whakaaro (thinking) around how the weaving (raranga) reflects Diane’s commitment to education, the education journeys of the students and the school’s rich Catholic traditions of aroha and manaakitanga in action. She chose a māwhitiwhiti pattern of weaving to create a poutama or stairway. The crossover māwhitiwhiti stitch is often referred to as the grasshopper; it captures the natural curiosity and inquisitiveness of students as they learn: “They’ll jump over here and have a nosey around – put an obstacle in their way they’ll jump in another area, until they find themselves. The huka tags (tassles) are like new challenges to work around as they progress on their learning journey. As the students get to each level there’s going to be a new challenge, and it’s about overcoming those,” says Jo.

Pauline learns how to plait the muka from weaver, Jo.

Many hands – and koha

Taonga for the ages

Staff, whānau and friends gathered to pluck, sort and roll huruhuru (feathers) from the pelts of paradise duck, female and male pheasant and black swan. There was also a koha of prepared weka feathers.

The finished korowai will be both an artefact and a wearable taonga which will keep the spirit of Diane Kawana alive. When not being worn, the korowai will be displayed in a glass case in the entrance foyer of the school.

The community participated in the next stage of preparing the muka (flax fibres) for weaving. Jo showed how to patu (beat) the muka to soften it for wearing close to the skin. The bundles of muka were plaited into hanks and each hank was soaked and beaten eight times. Ian Dick, a cousin of Diane’s who has customary rights to gather pounamu (greenstone) from the West Coast, has gifted a heart carved from pounamu to be used as a clasp for the korowai. It is already worn at school and public events to infuse it with the mauri of Manawa Tapu Sacred Heart.

A resource booklet prepared by Pauline, which documents the process of making the korowai, will sit alongside the korowai. A series of videos have been made by Cat and Mouse Productions, documenting the stages of the work and gifting the school a historical visual narrative. “Participation in the Korowai Project has provided a consummate opportunity to demonstrate commitment to all six Standards for the Teaching Profession (STPs) in an authentic and practical manner,

most notably with regard to demonstrating commitment to tangata whenuatanga and Te Tiriti o Waitangi partnership in Aotearoa New Zealand,” writes Pauline. Teachers in a variety of curriculum areas have incorporated aspects of the Korowai Project into their learning programmes.

Professional development opportunities with TeachNZ The Ministry of Education and teaching unions are committed to supporting professional development opportunities. A number of TeachNZ study awards, sabbaticals and grants are currently open for applications from teachers, educators and principals.

“We hope there will be some more curriculum spinoffs once it’s complete. We’ve learnt an awful lot about protocol. We’ve learnt an awful lot about the processes of weaving and the preparation of materials.

The programme can help you complete a qualification, take time off each week to study while teaching, move to another curriculum or subject area, or take time off to research a topic of interest.

“Our participation, from the fledgling idea through its many stages of creation, has meant that the korowai is made with us, by us, and is of us. It embodies our past, present and future,” says Pauline.

Teaching Council goes digital The Teaching Council’s new online system Hapori Matatū went online in mid-May and hundreds of educators from throughout Aotearoa have already experienced the benefits of the move to digital.

eaching Council Chief Executive Lesley Hoskin says moving services online is transformational for the Council, teachers and education leaders. The organisation’s new online platform Hapori Matatū also provides registered teachers with access to an exclusive online community for discussion and sharing information. “Front of mind throughout the whole project was ensuring teachers and professional leaders would have access to a platform that would make life easier for them,” says Lesley. “We wanted to enhance teachers’ experience with us: applying will be quicker and intuitive, application processing faster, lines of communication open and responsive.”

New registration and certification Alongside the launch of Hapori Matatū, there is a new policy for registration and certification. The Teacher Registration, Practising Certification and Limited Authority to Teach Policy was developed in consultation with teachers and has simplified the process so teachers and professional leaders can more easily understand what is required to register and apply for certification. By the start of June, about 1,163 teachers had submitted applications and 143 of these had already been approved, with certificates issued through the new online system Hapori Matatū/Online Community. A digital certificate was launched in June and can be carried on a device or printed out. Hundreds more applications were in the pipeline and Lesley says that educators are already impressed with how much easier and faster the application process is – for most teachers it takes only 10 minutes to submit an application for endorsement.

Education Gazette 29 June 2020

“The Teaching Council has put its services online, with funding from Government not teacher fees, because we needed to find a way to free up our time and teachers’ time to do things that were important,” says Lesley. “We had a very old paper-based system with multiple pages, which took teachers days, if not weeks, to complete. The new system can be done anytime on any kind of device, you can save it, come back to it. You don’t have to find a person to sign it, it will happen through the online system. The police vet doesn’t need to be requested separately – it will be done in parallel. “Now we push the data to them – we hold data in our database, so when they log in, they’ll get what we currently have, they can add to it, they can edit it.”

Educators involved in design The Council wanted the online platform to be ‘designed by teachers for teachers’ and about 600 educators responded to a call to be involved in its development. Lesley is confident that the system is now responsive and intuitive due to their input. There are more improvements to the system scheduled this year and the Council encourages teachers to send in constructive feedback. A group of beta testers helped iron out the kinks. Their involvement at the design stage highlighted some key issues such as confusion about which of eight possible application forms should be completed. “Teachers told us ‘we don’t know which forms to fill in – it doesn’t make sense to us’. But now, once they log onto the platform via their Education Sector Logon, they answer two or three questions and then the system works out

the right form for them to fill out.” Teachers will be able to track the progress of the application online. This could be a gamechanger for teachers and the Council. “In the past, about a third of our calls or emails were asking where a person’s application is up to. Now with tracking, they can log into their profile and it will show where in the process their application is up to. “With the paper-based forms, all we did was help get them through the process end to end,” says Lesley. “Now for most teachers it will be pretty straightforward, but some teachers will need additional support and we’ll be able to spend our time working with those few. “Our job is about lifting the quality of teaching and to do that, we need to give support to the right people. Now we’ll be able to nuance our process and focus on different types of teachers who need support.”

Safe online community Once teachers log into the secure Hapori Matatū platform via their Education Sector Logon they can track the progress of their applications in real-time, engage in any conduct or competency issues and join an online community with more than 100,000 of their peers.   “Hapori means community or family in te reo Māori and we hope to foster a welcoming and caring environment for teachers to share best practice and discuss high-quality teaching and leadership in the community. Teachers are just about always in a state of learning themselves and they don’t always get to share that,” says Lesley. gazette.education.govt.nz

The transition from a paper-based application system to an online system is making the process a lot smoother for teachers.

“Hapori Matatū brings together all 100,00 plus registered teachers in New Zealand in a digital community to discuss what works and what doesn’t as they continue improving their practice.” Lesley Hoskin “I believe this is the first platform of its kind for teachers to network, discuss and share their expertise as professionals in a trusting and safe space. As we have seen during lockdown, working online has incredible potential to help build strong and meaningful relationships, so the ability to discuss topics of interest, set up groups, run polls and have teachers working together across the country sharing best practice and knowledge is timely.” Teaching Council research showed there were several key barriers to teachers engaging in online forums. Teachers would watch but not participate. “One of the biggest barriers was, they didn’t feel safe. People posting online don’t always use their real names and you don’t know if a person is qualified to be talking about an issue or holding a position on a particular matter,” says Lesley. gazette.education.govt.nz

“The credentials aren’t there and so we wanted to create a space that really allowed teachers from across the whole of New Zealand to be able to reach out and talk to their colleagues across the country about what was happening in our unique context of education. “Registration and certification or discipline cases are our bread and butter. Of course, it should be digital, easy, fast and sensible. “Hapori Matatū brings together all 100,00 plus registered teachers in New Zealand in a digital community to discuss what works and what doesn’t as they continue improving their practice. “It will be great to really get the workforce at the heart of our education system informing us, which we can then take up to policy makers, or legislation makers,” she says.

Easy and intuitive system Northland School principal Jeremy Edwards was one of the beta-testers for Hapori Matatū. He says it was a privilege to be part of the testing and see its development based on user feedback. “I know how easy and intuitive the system is and I think that teachers and principals will really appreciate the simplicity of the step-bystep process,” he says. “The beta testers overwhelmingly told us the good things about the platform are the speed,” says Lesley. “They told us: ‘These are not new systems. We live in a digital age, we do most of our business in a digital world’. They have high expectations that we should be doing our business like that.

Relief teachers play an important role Christchurch early learning teacher Penelope McRae says relief teaching has allowed her to learn from others and share her expertise at the same time.

‘

Are you a young girl or are you a lady?’ was not the first question Penelope McRae expected on her first day relief teaching at an early learning centre. However, given the nature of relief teaching – and the nature of early learning – Penelope knew to expect the unexpected. About a year ago, the fully qualified teacher decided to take a break from full-time teaching. She was keen to broaden her horizons and see what else was out there. “I’m in my late twenties and I’ve only worked at three centres. I wanted to explore different centres and find the right fit for me – what fits with my philosophy.” She signed up with teaching recruitment agency ep.education who helped her gain experience at a range of different centres on a relief teaching basis. “I’ve worked at a big centre with 130 children and a small centre with a maximum of 33 children, so I’ve had the two extremes.”

Relationships are at the forefront Penelope believes she has found her niche at the smaller centres. “Relationships are at the forefront for me. I really value relationships with the staff, with the families and with the children. I’ve found those smaller centres to be my spot, mostly because of the relationships I’ve been able to build while providing meaningful care.” Penelope views relief teaching as a great opportunity to both learn from other teachers and impart her own expertise.

Education Gazette 29 June 2020

“As a passionate teacher you can go in with resources and ideas. And it’s a good chance to gain ideas and see how they use resources. It’s like PLD (professional learning and development) in action.” “Going into a new centre, you can be spontaneous and see what’s going on and you can add to that with your experience and ask questions. Quite often the staff are keen for you to get into it because it’s something fresh.”

Flexibility is important Penelope admits that relieving might not be for everyone – you have to be flexible, she says. You have to have the right mindset as well, she adds. “If you’re going out relieving and you don’t have that mindset of ‘I’m going to use my initiative, I’m going to find out what happens here’, then it’s very easy to just have an unsatisfying day. It’s up to the person to put their all into it and do their best for the children.” Penelope is grateful when centres provide additional information to aid relief teaching staff. Details about children’s learning needs and requirements can be helpful, she says. “I think the more information the better, because you can be better prepared.” Having explored her options with relief teaching and having learned a lot in the process, Penelope has recently signed a contract with a centre that she feels is a good fit for her.

Principal - Brookby School

U3, Year 1 – 8 . Roll of approx. 120. Commencing term 4 2020 (or as negotiated)

Situated in the beautiful Brookby Valley, South Auckland, between Alfriston, Clevedon and Whitford, 13 km from Manukau City and Botany. Brookby School is in a unique rural setting, close to city amenities and is the heart of the community. We have a strong set of values that reflect community aspirations. Positive relationships, open communication and a focus on wellbeing as the foundations of our success. We value innovative and ‘hands-on’ learning experiences supported by quality teaching. Environmental sustainability is an important focus for us.
