Our team is developing a podcast focused on the History of Education in Aotearoa New Zealand. We’d appreciate your feedback on the two questions below to help us shape and refine our podcast focus.
What is something you would want to know about New Zealand Educational history?
What is something you think people should know about New Zealand Educational history?
Dr Shelley Moore challenges us to rethink how we assess and support learners. Instead of focusing on what students can’t do, she encourages us to recognise and build on what they can do.
This strength-based approach aligns perfectly with our RTLB mahi, celebrating progress, valuing diversity, and designing learning that is inclusive and empowering for every ākonga. 💚
A powerful reminder that when we change how we assess, we change how students see themselves as learners. 💡

Hi Jo, Thank you, loved her talk on rubrics, particularly around the importance of an even playing field that allows all learners to be part of their own learning. Where can we find the link for Friday's session?
Thank you to those of you who attended Shelley Moore’s session this morning. It was brilliant! What were your key takeaways? Mine was: Challenge assumptions, there is no “should.” Rethink what’s expected and explore new possibilities.
I tautoko what Georgia said - my key takeaways were about kaiako evaluating the goal instead of the task (i.e. how the goal is demonstrated) - this is vital to inclusion!
I also love her take on School Leadership teams - they need really clear boundaries around inclusion, they need to hold those expectations of their kaiako with the infrastructure in place supporting inclusion in every way (a couple of examples she gave were 'time for kaiako to work together and plan' and 'plans in place for supporting e.g. teacher crisis times).
Also the importance of connection - SLT's connecting with mokopuna and kaiako as well as connecting with the whole community to build that sense of "this is what we are all doing together". Sorry - so many takeaways - I loved listening to Shelley!!
