@alanamadgwick1 She was stunning. Her keynote had more than a few of us quietly weeping at the start.

Our 2024 NZATE Conference, Dunedin Sound: Brave Words was stunning. There were so many highlights that it's hard to pick one.

@ardernrad @KyleDChurch I feel that might be their attempt at diversity.

NZATE have serious concerns about a rewritten curriculum that has such an incredibly narrow focus. The information that we have received is worrying.

We will be seeking member voice very soon. NZATE will keep you informed as we hear more & are currently formulating a response.

@banquotrilogy NZATE are horrified and appalled.
