Please feel free to adapt this. I have adapted this from a Tilting the Seesaw resource aimed at supporting learners with Autism to share what they like, don't like or find just 'ok' at school. It may also be useful to adapt some more ideas for at home. I don't use all of the suggestions, but it gives a clear overview of what they find less appealing or more difficult.
I am sure we can all agree that it can be quite a challenge to get a group of secondary kaiako together to meet!
I developed this form out of desperation to try and get a group of kaiako together and it has proven to be extremely useful for hui organisation in Secondary schools.
I am hoping this link works! It is a planner to assist with seeing when kaiako can attend meetings using the drop down boxes. When others can see each others availability, they seem more likely to respond. It is a simple way to get people together as they can all see who can come and when.
You should just be able to make a copy and edit the times you are offering. I am hoping you find it useful.

Kia ora koutou
I am running a termly group for Secondary SENCos and LSCs. Do any of you have any suggestions for topical discussion groups? I usually invite the group for topic suggestions but I am hoping you all may have some suggestions. So far we have:
Transitions - Systems and supports eg. Travellers programme
Scribo
This looks fantastic Justine. Also great to see Travellers mentioned - such an incredible support for transition mahi. I wonder if they'd be interested in looking at the digital tools kaiako can use to support inclusive design? Also CPS can be super impactful for secondary students.
Kia ora Justine, Thanks for sharing your spreadsheet. It is great to see different ways that we approach our day to day mahi. 😊
