Help! EOTC

A request from a school: I was wondering if you have something current surrounding EOTC policies or if you could ask our members. We are currently reviewing ours and we would like to check on other school's thinking.

Responses to principal@deanwell.school.nz please, and I will forward them on.

Thank You….

A big thank you to Tony Mangan and Tony Grey for the excellent planning and organisation of the Road Trip to Auckland last week. It was fantastic PLD for us all; the contrast in schools selected or us to visit was a real revelation!

Well done,

CORE Breakfast

The next CORE Breakfast is on 25 May with Mary Anne Mills and Carolyn English presenting a seminar and workshop presentation on Designing Future Focused Curriculum.

This CORE breakfast seminar will:

• help you define what your school means by providing a future focused curriculum
• outline the key considerations while designing school curriculum and how it could be interpreted at the classroom level to build on the strengths of particular students

The workshop will invite you to take an active approach as we explore ideas about curriculum design and how it translates into:

• classroom practice
• student learning experiences
• progression of future focused capabilities

Workshop participants should bring their school vision and strategic goals. Register here

Rant – COLs

Following my rant last week about COLs, it was suggested by another Principal that I might like to share this link to provide some balance.

I do not like providing balance, but you might like to have a look at for an alternative view from Tony Grey (also on the WPA Executive).

Note: The opinions expressed in the Rant are not necessarily those of the WPA; they are all mine!!
