Today, on the 2nd of March, we had an informative staff meeting where Mrs Grant joined us to talk about LEARN. Our Manaiakalani cluster focuses on three key areas: Learn, Create, and Share, and today’s session focused specifically on the Learn aspect.
Mrs Grant discussed what effective learning looks like in our classrooms and how we can support our learners to develop strong understanding, curiosity, and independence. She highlighted the importance of providing meaningful learning opportunities where students can think deeply, ask questions, and engage actively with their learning.
We also reflected on how our teaching practices can help learners build knowledge and skills that prepare them for the Create and Share stages of the Manaiakalani model. By strengthening the Learn phase, we ensure that students have a solid foundation before moving on to creating and sharing their ideas.
It was a valuable session that gave us time to reflect on our classroom practices and think about ways we can continue to support our learners to become confident and capable learners.
