Melanie Riwai-Couch - Niho Taniwah


What is your tipu from today?     What is your so what?

Tipu - know what you need next


The great risk is teacher variability.    Stick with what makes a difference and what is research based.   Effective pedagogy that leads to improvement.


What is our common vernacular?   

Know better, do better   Stay close together   Lift where you stand


Connection 

Challenge

Empowerment


Do we see ourselves as part of an improved, high performing system for åkong Māori and their whānau.

Niho Taniwha - summary / clip


Teachers who …

Listen hard, look for different ways to help me succeed. 

Celebrate my identity by including this is in my work

Are humble,  using te reo Māori as much they can..


If someone wrote a case study about you …


What would you be remembered for by ākonga dn whānau?

What things did you try that you learn from?

What would you be most proud of?

What regrets would you have.?


Where do you want to be in 18 months and what would you do to improve?


John Quinn


Thriving not surviving

Mindset

A goal a week - reflect - went well , next time

Plan for those difficult days and be intentional - ie break away, lunch away from desk, fresh air …

STOP  stop take a breathe, observe what you are thinking feeling,  proceed with intent


Alice Diamond


Dispositions rather than just skills

Strengths based approach

Stats - breaking the inherent racism in the system.   

Be aspirational

AI.  Teaching young people to think critically to edit, and craft using AI.    Clever prompts and crafting/editing. Eric Schmit - CEO of Google (10 years).
