Friday proved to be an incredibly valuable day as staff from Tasman, Mahana, Ngatimoti, Dovedale, Lower Moutere, Tasman Bay Christian and Upper Moutere schools worked together to gain an in-depth understanding of what high quality teaching and learning is in the context of the NZ curriculum due to be implemented in 2010.... What the research says, what it looks like from a student, teacher, parent and environment perspective and how that applies to each school.
We are fortunate to have clear guidelines in regards to our communities aspirations from our parent forums - and this will form the foundation of the Tasman school curriculum.
There is still much to do but we are well on the way!
Lets hope the meeting I will attend this Monday - on the soon to be announced "National Standards" promised by the National government as an election platform - support what our parents and community want... Cross fingers...
More to come!
