He aha te kai o te rangatira? He Korero, he korero, he korero What is the food of the leader? It is knowledge. It is communication. Five Dunedin schools have reimagined their view of curriculum and leadership. The New Zealand education landscape has changed significantly following the removal of a system of National Standards. This has allowed schools to rediscover a curriculum full of opportunity and engagement. The group has seized this opportunity to work together to create an exciting curriculum and professional development model where leaders, teachers and students enjoy learning reimagined. With a shared vision and collaborative leadership, the schools have created a model for autonomous school improvement. In this session we will explore a model for change and the elements that have contributed to the project success and discuss the following questions: How can a shared vision create new learning for school leaders? What skills and capabilities will our students need to respond to a changing world? How can project based learning grow opportunities and engagement for our students? How can we support and grow teacher confidence and capability in Project based learning? Join us to hear how this project has transformed learning and leadership in five Dunedin schools.
