this stuff’, but rather we have been able to focus on the relational
issues that are so important for our young people,” says Robin Sutton,
principal of Christchurch’s Hornby High School which has been part of
the Manaiakalani programme since 2015.
</blockquote><blockquote><p> “The stress and anxiety levels for staff are far lower than they might
otherwise have been, because much of what we need to do is what
Manaiakalani have been evolving for the past five years. While remote
earning offers its share of challenges, it is not some barren desert that
we need to start terraforming before we can make it habitable,” says
Sutton.</p></blockquote></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="manaiakalani.blogspot.com">Dorothy Burt</a>, says children have been well prepared for the transition to online learning in
lockdown. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">“We have numerous Māori and Pasifika families who are sending delightful photos in from home that show
children with smiles on their faces learning with their teachers via distance learning,” she says. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">While having access to devices and internet service is important, their number one focus remains on “teachers
and effective teaching practice”, regardless of whether they are in or out of lockdown. </div></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><blockquote><span style="font-size: x-large;">“The digital world is the world of our young people, but the key component is not a device, it is a teacher who
knows how to teach and knows how to make connections with children and young people,” says Burt.
</span></blockquote><p></p><blockquote> “Teachers’ primary goal each day is making connections, so during lockdown we check in on children’s wellbeing using Google Meet from one to three times a day, making sure everyone is OK and keeping those student-teacher relationships going,” she says. Screen time is limited and physical activity is built into each day’s learning. “The kids are enjoying home learning. We are getting surprising numbers of children turning up to class with over 50% joining the video chats, even during the school holidays. And the cool thing we are discovering is that
a lot of whānau are listening in too.”</blockquote><p></p><p>Pat Snedden, Manaiakalani Education Trust says</p><p></p><blockquote>“Our schools are now completely fit-for-purpose to operate in or out of school and we barely blink,” says
Manaiakalani Education Trust chairman Pat Snedden. “For the rest of New Zealand, this is a huge challenge. We are offering to help schools with their digital capability
to get in that position. We are prepared to be of assistance and of service to the wider kaupapa because we all
need to help each other contend with the Covid-19 crisis.” </blockquote><p>And from Frank Janssen, NEXT’s kaihautū representative</p><p></p><blockquote>“All the learnings the Manaiakalani programme has made over the past 15 years are now bearing fruit. This is
a complex and comprehensive programme that is measurably improving education outcomes for its students.
There is a deep level of understanding about what works and it is unique for an initiative to have built up such a
rich body of learning and knowledge over such a long time in New Zealand,” says Janssen. </blockquote><p></p><p></p></div>Dorothyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06878032140647205425noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3772567894320817961.post-18604496547158254362020-05-21T19:59:00.001+12:002020-08-20T20:02:02.405+12:00Learning at home from the Bay of Islands<span style="font-size: x-large;">We were inspired to see teachers from Bay of Islands college featured in the Northland Age newspaper and <a href="https://www.nzherald.co.nz/northland-age/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503402&objectid=12333744">in the online publication.</a></span><br /><br /><img border="0" data-original-height="349" data-original-width="620" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vl8ykrTJRa0/Xz4q5hOkvXI/AAAAAAAAQg8/gaQ9rvSEAPQ_EWfFKeq81QIfpF91eyiKQCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/Kamlesh.jpg" /><br /><br /><br />Kamlesh Prakash, head of science at Bay of Islands College, has been a lead learner himself, participating in the Manaiakalani Digital Fluency Intensive to continue to upskill.

“There’s a single point of contact, it’s streamlined, and the processes are completely transferable across schools in the clusters. We take sole responsibility for each site so the buck stops with Fusion. The technology works and we haven’t skipped a beat.
