Our teacher only day for the beginning of the new term and new school year was a Cultural Responsiveness PLD. It waa delivered by Chris Murphy and Takeaway at Owhata Marae. It was also to help us link with our whole school Term 1 big idea The Value of Us.
We were greeted by a powhiri at 8.30 on a beautiful sunny morning. The content was to help us look at things from a maori learners point of view and to look at and engage with the perceived and actual barriers.
It was one of the best most thought provoking PD sessions that I have ever been on and opened up my mind to the maori perspective. It was truly a privilege to be a part of it.
It also set us up nicely for the upcoming school year.
