Update of CPS in West Auckland
Kia ora koutou katoa
CPS continues to grow in West Auckland as more and more schools, senior school leaders, and teachers are using the strategies with their ākonga.
Phillip Fox, one of our RTLBs is now a Certified Provider, having completed the training. Well done Phil!!
He was recently invited to attend a Senior Leadership Team meeting in one of our Primary Schools to talk about CPS. They heard about this through the SENCo/LSC network and became interested. There is now a follow-up meeting next term to begin demonstrating and training the school in CPS.
This term, Margaret Samson (also completed training as Certified Provider), the Principal of one of our schools organised a Community of Practice meeting which was attended by about 12 CPS practitioners. The good thing about this is that there were 4 RTLBs with the rest team leaders and teachers for the local schools. It was really good for everyone to come together to talk about their successes and challenges when using CPS strategies in their context. The group is committed to meet every term to support each other.
Many of you will know that I am stepping down as Cluster 5 Manager (tomorrow is my last day!). I will continue to support CPS in West Auckland, obviously, in a different capacity.
Wishing everyone all the best in working with CPS and with your schools!!
