Notes from Papamoa School - Bruce Jepson 

Why have a vision - why does a school see, hear, feel a particular way? 

See - how student holds themselves

Hear - the vision of your school

Feel - the vision of your school 

Students and their potential - believing that our students can do anything if opportunities exist for them. 

Be real!!

Create your classroom in Minecraft. - through mathematics develop an online view for new families thinking of coming to your school. 

Community 

- capturing and measuring the quality of works being created 

- these are presented through reporting schedules. 

- The more you share the more on board they will be

Finances 

Change thinking about finances - think laterally

- teaching & learning & thinking budget - to impact teaching and learning, raising student achievement. - coding still applied. 

- Run PLD for other schools - charge out 

- roll out and roll in 1 year, plan 

- business decisions to access the resources

What is collaboration all about?

Collaboration or Cooperation?

These are great on their own but put them together and make something magical.

Collaboration - Common goal, vision, direction
Cooperation - doing the tasks and bringing them together

How do we prevent children getting lost in collaborative learning spaces?

Collaboration should be driven by what is bet for the children evidence, not by personal beliefs about what is best for them. 

Learning space - things for consideration
Passive space where you can sit and do nothing outside.
Teaching whare
Think tank for students
Buddy Learning Space
Learning Portal - hallway

Language is important when setting up these spaces
- responsibly
- learning mummer to allow thinking to occur
- observation seat - 'floating river' ako students could sit and listen to learning conversations

Spaces are revisited all the time with students. Create an environment squad to reflect. Use our values to reflect on this. Squads or leadership roles aligning with school values.

Using google forms to collect anecdotal information based around three questions.
