Tapasā Turu 1 – Cultural competencies framework for teachers of Pacific learners

Identities, languages and Cultures Catch up sessions (for those who have not completed this PLD

Session yet)

Teachers will demonstrate awareness of the diverse and ethnic-specific identities, languages and cultures of Pacific learners. They will explore all the indicators for beginning and experienced teachers and leaders responding to focus questions indicating where they are currently in their own practice, within their team and kindergarten environment. Teachers need to understand their own distinctiveness, identity and culture in deep and meaningful ways in order to genuinely engage and respond to the distinctive identities, languages and cultures of others.

Storypark: for Admin Support

This is an introductory session and includes an overview of Storypark, with a brief look at the key features and a focus on tasks

that Admin Support Staff may be responsible for (such as: adding and

removing children/ downloading and saving children’s portfolios/setting up templates/ using it for your appraisal…). There will be

plenty of time to ask questions and practice. While this session will mainly be of interest to Admin Staff, Teachers who are

not yet using Storypark may find it a useful introductory session.

Please bring along a laptop or a tablet/IPad to use during the session, if possible and

your questions!

Equity Mindset in a Changing World

A central tenant of inclusive environments is that they are ‘inclusive of everyone’. In this workshop we will encourage you to really think about what we need to do to further develop our own ‘equity mindset for a changing world’.

This will require us all to check our unspoken, unnamed and unrealised biases and assumptions, and consider what really drives our practice. How do we respond to our changing world to challenge and broaden our thinking around any context for inclusion which could be age, gender, ability, culture, size, economic, appearance, family makeup….Our key question is: Are we expecting children to ‘conform’ to ‘this place’ or are we constructing environments that work for all tamariki and whanau.

drawing upon the Early Childhood setting.

Social Competency : Emotional Intelligence

Young children’s cognitive development occurs mainly in the context of social relationships –who learn from participating with peers and more skilled members of society. Not being able to initiate and maintain relationships is a source of anguish and loneliness, even for very young children.

There are many ways that early childhood teachers can help young children with their social development. We want to take a positive slant on this topic by not focussing on ‘managing unacceptable behaviour’ but on ‘developing a teacher’s tool kit of strategies and skills that will help young children develop their social competence’.

Supporting leaderful practiceLearning to be educational leaders who are equipped to support high quality and equitable education in New Zealand is a multi-faceted and complex process.In recent years, there has been an increasing emphasis on developing all teachers’ capabilities as leaders.In response to this emphasis, we will be using a cluster approach to provide PLD around building leaderful practice during 2019.Being involved in the cluster means:• Attending three workshops over the year, that are framed around the nine capabilities identified in the recently published Educational Leadership Capability Framework.• Undertaking a small inquiry around some aspect of leaderful practice.
