Manaiakalani Teacher Only Day

While on our end of term visit to Auckland we got to attend and present at the Manaiakalani teacher Only Day. It was a great way to finish of the end of term. Lee and I presented Panui from Ngapuhi. It was great to share some of what we are doing up North in the Far North clusters. I was lucky to have Gemma Fleet from Kaingaroa school to share her very sucssefull literacy program from 2020. We where also lucky to hear Dr Dr. Rae Siʻilata and Kyla Hansell the key note speaker who was very inspirational and made you really think about bi lingual language and culture in reading and literacy. It was great to hear the explain everthing experts and have a reminder of the creative ways to use the tool in reading. The other workshop I went to was Georgie and Kiri going over the Reading Observation tool which was good to hear again and have more clarification and analysis of the parts of the tool. It was a great day and I am lookimg forward to looking at the other presentations. It was a great day to end a week of learning and reflecting in Auckland.
