Zoe's Teaching Standards Site

 As a school we attended the annual Jumbo Day in Cromwell. There were only staff from Maniototo and Roxburgh because of the weather. It was still a very worthwhile day. Watching others share what they have been doing with Local Curriculum was very beneficial for all staff to see, as well as being able to share our own Matariki activities we had made as a Junior School.

This year Carla and I wrote the PE/Health report for the board. This involved gathering data and commenting on the athletics and swimming events. Setting goals and recommendations about the PE/Health curriculum alongside Carla too. 

 I was fortunate enough to go to the Within School Teachers' Day in Twizel. This was some very new for me but I was keen to see how these meetings ran and learn some new information about Local Curriculum and Deep Learning.  Being able to strengthen some teacher connections across the four area schools in our Kahui Ako was very valuable. I didn't contribute a lot during this day as I didn't want to step on anyone's toes but I thought the day was worthwhile, if not just to see what the within school teachers' job involved. There was a lot of discussions about the Jumbo Day and how this would look, as well as, a little bit of talk about Local Curriculum too.  I hope to be able to help Gillian when we go to look at Local Curriculum and Deep Learning at LAS.

 I attended a NPDL course with some of the WST and staff from the Kahui Ako. This was a very intense course with a lot of information. The day was aimed at schools who have been in the Deep Learning realms for a year or so. I learnt a lot on this day and look forward to learning more about Deep Learning and Local Curriculum.
