Kia ora koutou,
Being a local Gisborne parent and educator has given me the opportunity to see many of the wonderful things Gisborne has on offer. There are some wonderful things happening in our community. I have been teaching in local classrooms for the past 13 years, beginning at Matawai School where I was lucky enough to have taught across a variety of classroom levels across the school and enjoyed being part of teaching Japanese, and the Enviroschools programme.
In 2013 my husband and three children and I relocated to town, and I was fortunate to take up a position at Gisborne Intermediate where I have been for the past six years. Here in 2018, I had the opportunity to become a Manaiakalani Pilot teacher. Having an understanding of what Manaiakalani facilitation truly means in a classroom has given me great insight into its power and the potential for it to create a positive impact for the tamariki in our community. I have witnessed many changes in the use of technology in education across my years of teaching and learning, and in the power of visible and rewindable learning for my own children.
I am excited about working across the wonderful schools in our region to continue to support an even wider range of excellent professionals in our local kura. Together, we can support our kids to succeed in the connected and collaborative world ahead.
