Toni Cliffin

English teacher with a love of mixing cross-curricular teaching into my lessons. Always challenging my status quo - always pushing my learning boundaries.

@chrishipkins when I read each year level being offered 120 credits & each level cert requires 60 credits, I understand that to mean certificates can still be completed with the best configuration of standards relative to the child: 60 int, or 60 ext, or a range of both. Correct?

@chrishipkins how do we as teachers at the coal face get into the groups where we can play a part of shaping the assessments that will be rolled out?

@gmacmanus Girls make characters that talk to each other and decorate the area, and boys blow things up and the characters kill each other?

Learned more about ako today when I saw a man weaving flax at the park and asked him if I could watch. He weaved and showed me how to do what he was doing, let me try, taught me about what part of the flax to collect. Ako. Being curious and stepping outside my comfort zone.

@KTHopkins Sorry, who are you?

@BishopTamaki ps - please don't assume or discern my level of 'true Christianity' by my choice to not be offended by the PM's actions. Rather than be offended, I chose to use the time to pray for the peace of God that transcends all understanding to be with us all.

@BishopTamaki Disagree. She's not a Christian, she shouldn't be expected to act like one. She's simply doing her very best in a very, very nasty situation. A situation that has happened in our history, but not one that has happened in our lifetimes. Everyone responds different. Mauri ora
