@MorganGodfery Forgotten passwords, tweets, replies....trying to make sense of the bullshit for good. Aue taukiri ee.

[Barbara-Anne @teachBAA]

So so true! Love this definition.

Cathy Wylie from @NZCER artfully leads us through the #wellbeingatschool toolkit at our company hui today. A challenge for kura - move away from surveys to using these assessment to inform learning

Kura and schools are trying to figure out 'What next for appraisal'. Here are our thoughts and advice, guided by clear principles and simple processes.

What’s truly of value in life? what gives our lives meaning? We weren't born to cause trouble or harm. To be of value, we must develop basic good human qualities---warmth, kindness, compassion. Then our life will become happier and more meaningful.

Build your ‘Evaluative Capability’ to ‘Know Thy Impact’... instructional school leaders love this!

To my mind, the greatest issue here is slowing everything down to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to be heard. Ihumatao, Mauna Keu. To me it reeks of a continuation of voices unheard and then muted if interrupting an existing agenda. Let's learn to listen. Heart & mind.

[Ruth Tate @ngaamihi]

I agree. If we can’t turn to our Māori MPs, then who?

[Aroha Heaslip @HeaslipA]

What strikes me is how often the perspectives of indigenous peoples are ignored. Heartbreaking.

If you or anyone you know needs a primer about Maunakea and the bigger issues behind the movement. Mahalo to Vox for allowing me to write this article about our people.

And a huge mahalo to Walter Ritte,... https://t.co/I5JvkiN48F

Thoughtful framework for strengthening social and emotional learning https://t.co/BAAo5yCMfN

[Aroha Heaslip @HeaslipA]

Yes! Totally agree.

[Ruth Tate @ngaamihi]

The localised curriculum is a great opportunity for schools to partner with Māori communities and iwi to develop a curriculum where Māori learners see themselves reflected in the narrative and in the creation of contemporary narratives.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Good school culture is never a fluke. It results from educators who love their job and make decisions based on the best interests of kids!

[Aroha Heaslip @HeaslipA]

Completely agree. Student voice is essential to school improvement.

[Ruth Tate @ngaamihi]

There you go. Moral of the story: ask the tangata whenua :-)

[Aroha Heaslip @HeaslipA]

A simple but effective way to actively reflect on what TOW looks like in your kura.

[Emma Ritzema-Bain @EmmaRitzemaBain]

What can we see, hear & feel in our kura/school that shows we are honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi? Definitely some of these @Hillpark_School & some to work on. Let’s put this somewhere visible @BeereGavin @MillstTania @sewsankz Thanks @coreeducation

[Aroha Heaslip @HeaslipA]

An interesting description of ways to include community voice and perspective in a school.

@realDonaldTrump Absolutely. Let's sit and navigate our polarized positions.

[Aroha Heaslip @HeaslipA]

@realDonaldTrump Life is sacred and must be nurtured. What does that look like for any child born? If the mother is obliged to give life it is encumbant upon all of us to ensure that the child experiences a life worth living. Those are the laws worthy of our lives.
