24 October
The last month has flown by aided by a great visit to California, LA, Fountain Valley, San Francisco and a road trip down the Pacific Highway.
Since being back in New Zealand I have been involved in a Literacy conference in Napier where I contributed a keynote on 21st Century Learning and 21st Century Literacies. This was supported with workshops on Inquiry learning and Questioning.
The last two weeks have been spent in Wellington where I have had the privelege of becoming involved with PDPC (Principals’ Development Planning Centre). This has already been a huge learning experience that has challenged me in many ways, and I look forward to the ongoing learning and challenges it will provide for me. For any principals thinking of being involved I can offer nothing but support and praise for the centre and would highly recommend this professional development opportunity.
This week I am working with Waltham School in Christchurch, and then Saturday takes me to the BEST conference in Rotorua.
I have been doing some reading over the last month and will submit a post shortly outlining some of the aspects that have challenged or impacted on my thinking.
