Lead Teacher Day - Tuesday, 10th March 2010
Cluster director (Peter Mulchay) led the day and outlined the Cluster goals, structure & year overview.
First Cluster Goal
Goal 3: Developing Collaboration & Relationships
Second Cluster Goal
Goal 4: Developing Strategic Planning
Set Friday April 30th for 2nd lead teacher day
Also examined the CORE PD online: base survey and amended to fit our needs
Ian Suckling (Cluster Facilitator) introduced himself and examined the role of the Lead Teachers and as a group we went through exemplars of LT job descriptions. Schools would look to develop their own job descriptions. A good site Ian directed us to was: Suzie Vesper's Wiki
that provided a clear outline and description.
Learning & e-learning.
Learning is reflective, relevant, shared, linked to prior learning/experience with sufficient opportunities to learn.
Focus on e-learning and pedagogy and referred to NZ Curriculum:
The afternoon sessions
Learning about Wiki: Mauricio Vas
Teachers logged onto arataki-cluster wiki
Mauricio talked teachers through utilising features of the Wiki and how to post
Teachers experimented with posting & examining links
Learning about vocaraa: Ian
Ian explained details of vocaroo -
Teachers experimented with features
Reflection/feedback
Teachers felt that a lot had been covered. Would have liked more time to explore the features of the various elements covered. As a cluster we covered a lot of ground in a short time - important to now try and embed some of this into our learning strategies.
