This included roles as Chief Executive at two of New Zealand’s leading advertising agencies, DraftFCB and M&C Saatchi, before he founded Brandology in June 2010. Brandology is a strategic consultancy that creates and sustains market dominant brands through organisational transformation.

9.15 am KEYNOTE 2: COUNCILLOR HENARE O’KEEFE: Working with whānau and community; making a difference

Henare O’Keefe, a hero who has dedicated himself to championing the power of love to heal communities and change lives.

Henare’s experience of growing up in a lower socio-economic household stirred in him a deep commitment to uplift and inspire his community. Henare seeks to reverse negative social statistics and is dedicated to combating family violence, mentoring youth, and assisting in the reintegration of prisoners.

He has visited hundreds of schools as an ambassador for Duffy Books in Homes and also set up the U-turn Academy (now called Youth to Men), a successful 15-week intensive course for troubled youth, which featured in the Lost Boys documentary screened on TV3.

Henare has also worked against violence in the family and community through the New Zealand Police Youth Education Service (YES) to help parents keep their children safe. In 2008, he responded to violence against his own family by organizing the Enough is Enough hikoi to galvanize community concern and action. Over 3,000 people joined him on his march from Flaxmere to the centre of Hastings.

Henare is also a Justice of the Peace, and was awarded the Lloyd Morgan Lions Club Charitable Trust Honoured Membership in 2010 – only the second time in its 30 year history to be given to a non-member. In 2012 Henare was the recipient of the Local Heroes Award at the New Zealander of the Year Awards, for hiswork with at-risk youth and family violence protection.Recently Henare featured on a Māori Television programme (Te Tuatangata) which demonstrated a comprehensive summary of the contributions he has made and the challenges he has faced.

The Mayor of Hastings, Lawrence Yule says that Henare’s mantra is “What can I do to help others?” He gives from his heart and commitsall his time and energy to helping others.

TEACHING IN THE 21st CENTURY: CLASSROOM LANDSCAPES OF CHANGE AND CHALLENGE (PRIMARY)Perry Rush, Principal, Island Bay SchoolThe demands of learning in the 21st Century can be confusing: students in charge, fostering individual pathways, differentiated curriculum and interest-based learning. Is it appropriate to hold clear goals and how can these goals be realised in a way that nurtures the learner at the centre? Perry will explore two landscapes of change and challenge that are transforming student learning - inquiry-based learning and teaching for understanding.

TRANSITION - SHIFTING IDENTITIES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE (PRIMARY AND SECONDARY)Chrissy Lepper, Centre for Educational DevelopmentTransitions between learning insitutions, classrooms and year groups can be a stressful time for learners, whānau and teachers. Important considerations through any transition process are to reduce anxiety for the person experiencing the change and strengthen connections with whānau. We will spend time exploring the impact of transitions on identity for people going through transition and share some practical strategies to minimise possible risks.

NOTICING AND WONDERING: THINKING LIKE A SCIENTIST; THINKING LIKE AN ARTIST (PRIMARY)Christine Braid, Centre for Educational DevelopmentThis session will explore some notions of the Nature of Science strand and look at ways to capture this thinking in the classroom.

This workshop is a practical introduction to how the teaching as inquiry process worked for these schools and the strategies that made a difference for students across a wide range of diverse schools.

... AND ALL THE WORLD IS MADE OF MATHS ... (PRIMARY)Loti Hensman, CEDChildren’s literature can help make mathematics more accessible, entice the reluctant mathematician and open our eyes to the real world of mathematics beyond the classroom.

WHO’S DOING THE LEARNING? (SECONDARY)Barry Potter, Centre for Educational Development“Why has all our professional development over the last three years amounted to no improved outcomes for our students?”

This session will look at the complexity of finding out what contributes to or detracts from your school’s ability to help your students learn. It will examine ways that schools have planned and managed the strategies that are contributingt to their capacity to improve learning.
