Manaiakalani Cluster Staff Meetings 2023
Each term the Manaiakalani Kahui Ako hosts staff meetings as an opportunity for our people to continue to connect with our Kaupapa and Pedagogy. Often these staff meetings are led in individual schools and sometimes all our schools come together.
Term 4 : Cybersmart
Term 3 : Tohatoha - Share
Harnessing the affordances of technology and our network of connected learning communities across Aotearoa, you are invited to register for ONE of two facilitated online sessions in Google Meet.
Monday 31st July 3:30pm - 4:15pm or
Wednesday 2nd August 3:30pm - 4:15pm
Small groups will be formed in response to curriculum level and Teaching as Inquiry topics. This is an opportunity to connect and share strategies with educators who have been focussing on similar achievement challenges.
This session is designed to be conversational... No screen sharing or presentations and Meets will not be recorded.

Teaching as Inquiry is about powerful learning for you as teacher in order to improve classroom practice. Inquiry encourages questioning, exploration and experimentation in your practice. It helps you to make revisions to your teaching that lead to new insights into your practice and your students, and results in specific gains for students. Professor Graeme Aitken (June, 2018)
Term 2 : Hanga - Create
