Distance Learning

19/4/2020

I'm working in schools around Hawke's Bay that are making use of the MoE support package for Distance Learning.  It's frantic, exhausting, but so, so rewarding.  Fantastic working with teachers who are really open to ideas, who try them out and share them with me, clearly proud of their achievements.  As am I.  Zoom and Google Meets are impressive tools, giving students a real opportunity to build a learning community.  Because they need to.  One of my schools is recognising how much better their senior boys can focus virtually without the distractions around them.  Their questions are heard, they learn with each other and get the work handed in.  Tumeke!
While Papatūānuku is breathing, we are moving into a new paradigm of how we work with our students.  I hope we'll be using these changes into the future.

Support for Distance Learning offered from MoE 
PLD Supports:
  1. If you have a current PLD allocation, you can repurpose your existing hours, with your facilitators, so that they can support you to prepare for distance learning.
  2. You can also request new PLD to support with distance learning. To date, this has been through emailing the pld.enquiries@education.govt.nz mailbox to register your interest. However, we are working with the Regional Office teams to gather further information on which schools and kura might need PLD support, and they may be in contact with you in the coming days.
  3. The Term 1 PLD round has been put on hold until further notice. All proposals that have been submitted will remain in the system – we will update you at a later date to inform you of the process that will be followed.

Distance Learning - Have we 'knocked' on our families' doors?

I was fortunate enough to hear Ann Milne yesterday in her Colouring in Your Virtual White Spaces talk. Several really useful takeaways from this but one thing really stuck in my mind. We are going into our students homes through the digital connections, starting today. Today, we are manuhiri so have we asked whanau if we can enter? We need to be guided by the kawa of their homes. What are their protocols? Who needs to 'open the door'? What times suit them? Is there a space for this? One of my schools has responded already - they're ringing all whanau and asking these questions today, before they conference with their students. Would love to hear how you are managing this in your schools.
