Hi everyone, I am here after circling Wellington for 20 minutes due to airport closure.
I have been to some wonderful workshops (don't groan Jane I know you will be thinking "What's he gonna want to do now") but it is all about developing shared vision.
Our keynote this morning was Professor Andy Hargreaves from the USA. He was excellent at discussing developing a shared vision across our local schools, our school, community and teachers.
Session 2 was EPS 2.0 breakdown, which was the survey we all did. We discussed how to use this info and where to from here.
Session 3 was Values Based Education with Julia Atkin, wonderful exploration of how we develop values and beliefs and the importance for children to develop the capacity of expressing values. It will be great for those boys who are involved in the rough and tumble.
Session 4 Looking at Computer capability, what suits our needs PC versus Mac, 25 netbooks or less big computers. Very thought provoking.
I have been talking to the Etime facilitator and are arranging 3 or so to go on a tour of CHCH schools later this year.
Cheers. Have fun.
