[Kaehlah Dawson @KaehlahD]

@kerriatlearning Girl, would you do mine? Lets book in a catch up this summer aye?

[Kaehlah Dawson @KaehlahD]

Hey girl... what's the name of the website where you can make these kind of 'covers' - images with text... sorry if that sounds really vague!

#NZBFC630

just this

[Kaehlah Dawson @KaehlahD]

@kerriatlearning Yes, my underlying point exactly ;) Or 'I'm very clever because I can regurgitate what the teacher has told me to do' #NZBFC630

[Kaehlah Dawson @KaehlahD]

@kerriatlearning #NZBFC630 Developing Mathematical Inquiry Communities - learning maths in mixed ability, thinking gps, very basically. It's focus is using value systems of Maori/Pasifikas. Process can be used in all areas though, not just maths because it's about thinking & the process.

[Kaehlah Dawson @KaehlahD]

#NZBFC630 We've just started having PLD for DMIC and I love that it's about the process of thinking, not finding the answer. DMIC's focus is Maths but can be used in ALL contexts!

[Kaehlah Dawson @KaehlahD]

@kerriatlearning #NZBFC630 need to get back into SOLO...

[Kaehlah Dawson @KaehlahD]

#NZBFC630 oops *'share your thinking'

[Kaehlah Dawson @KaehlahD]

#NZBFC630 Yip love this one. What does 'share can your thinking' look like in our context?

[Kaehlah Dawson @KaehlahD]

@stephcamp1 #NZBFC630 absolutely... modeling the process, allowing opportunity and time for it...

[Kaehlah Dawson @KaehlahD]

#NZBFC630 Hey girl @kerriatlearning

[Kaehlah Dawson @KaehlahD]

#NZBFC630 Morena everyone

[Kaehlah Dawson @KaehlahD]

@steve_katene @kerriatlearning Might depend on how you you run STEAM too? #NZBFC630

[Kaehlah Dawson @KaehlahD]

@steve_katene @kerriatlearning That's for sure! #NZBFC630 Gotta start somewhere thought right?

[Kaehlah Dawson @KaehlahD]

#NZBFC630 How powerful can we be if, as educators, we are trusted by our leaders to work from our skill and are supported to develop our skill and knowing of our Ss? If we don't have that sense of empowerment how effective are we?

[Kaehlah Dawson @KaehlahD]

@beebryhte @steve_katene YES! #NZBFC630

[Kaehlah Dawson @KaehlahD]

@kerriatlearning @steve_katene Our Junior team have spent time there so yeah, I will. #NZBFC630

[Kaehlah Dawson @KaehlahD]

@kerriatlearning @leonie_hastings @askawenga I think you've hit the nail on the head @kerriatlearning The question should be... "Do you feel trusted by your leadership team?" #NZBFC630

[Kaehlah Dawson @KaehlahD]

@leonie_hastings @kerriatlearning @askawenga That's pretty cool. Sound like us. #NZBFC630
