How can you keep track of every student's strengths and needs to inform your curriculum planning? @JorgeDoesPBL suggests trying a simple visual tool called an empathy map! 😍
Students know when a teacher is real. They have a radar for authenticity.
* Admit when you've made a mistake
* Say Thank You
* Don't pretend to know it all
* Listen to them/ ask them about their hobbies
* Use humor/ stories
* Let them know/ see you really care
What else?

#WaitangiDay is a time for us all, whether we’ve lived here for generations or just begun to call this beautiful land home, to reflect on our history, our heritage & our past so we can take those learnings and the knowledge of our tūpuna to help shape how we move into the future.
For those who have a home corner all year, where do you have it? Yesterday I moved mine to the middle of the room instead of the corner and WOW what a difference it made. Every child accessed it. I saw play and heard vocab that I hadn't before! #EYFS
