2017 Goals

As the 2017 year kicks off I have reflected on 2016 and what my goals and inquiry was and how effective and successful I was. This is all part of our appraisal documentation which I will attached to my next post. When I look at 2017 there are a few aspects that I know will be challenging and require further development on my behalf and extra support within the school. These areas will become my goals for the year as things I am aiming to develop whether they be skills, a culture or resources.

For 2017 I have three goals, they are;

Goal 1

To develop a multi-leveled  (Level 1, 2 & 3) music class that is ‘self-sufficient’. Students who can set their own goals, decide what they are working on and when, know how and where to get help from and who are successful learners!

Goal 2

To develop a website for my level 1, 2 & 3 course that has all of the resources needed to achieve in musicians hub  (anywhere, anytime, any pace).

Goal 3

To develop my skills in restorative practices as a hapu leader.

Year 13 Citizen Camp

Our year 13 camp was held the week before school commenced to get our year 13s back on board for the year. We were very lucky to get to stay right on Ohope Beach at the surf life saving club. As the teacher in charge of senior prefect co-ordination I was part of the team over seeing the camp. I also was TIC of the camp (had to organise the budget, schedule, oversee camp and evaluate/reflect on it afterwards). As a hapu dean this was a great way to build relationships with the seniors (in my hapu) and hopefully who I will be able to use for tuakana teina and as leaders during the year.

Restorative Practices

Our start back to 2017 was filled with an excellent day of professional development on Restorative Practices. Most important things I took away from it (which could be relevant in any situation!) were:

Connect before Correct

Build
Maintain
Restore
Sustain
RELATIONSHIPS
