Today we spent some time discussing and exploring the Create and Share aspects of the Manaiakalani pedagogy. It was great to hear other teachers ways of engaging whanau in this process, and I took away a number of strategies for my practice next year.
It was very positive recapping the vast quantity of learning we have gotten through during this course, and spending time reflecting on both the processes and the content. It is great realising how much more confident I am with the content to be covered in our new curriculum documents, and the range of strategies and resources I am now aware of to assist this too.
I am looking forward to sharing many of these resources, tools and strategies with my colleuge whom is teaching the same year level as me next year, and planning together to use many of them. I believe it will be very valuable for us to be able to compare accross the cohort, especially with the attitude pre and post surveys.
A sincere thank you to our facilitators for the time and effort they have put into this, and how they have gone above and beyond to support us all.
Kia ora Sarah,

It’s great to hear that you're feeling more confident with the new curriculum and have gained so many useful tools and resources to enhance your maths practice. I love the idea of collaborating with your colleague to implement what you've learned and spread good practices next year – it’s a great way to ensure consistency and support student success across the team.
Congratulations on completing the MPI and a big thanks to you too for being such an engaged participant – your effort really shows, and it’s clear you’ve already started fostering your learners' love for maths. I would love to hear how it all goes next year!
