Motivation and Engagement

Cluster Meeting 5 - 24.10.2019

It was great to end our Professional Learning Community in Motivation and Engagement 2019 with in depth discussions and critical reflections on student voice in the classroom. We loved listening to the different questions and ideas being thrown about in regards to the continuum of student voice, and the impact on learning this has on our students.

We would like to thank those who have attended the PLC this year. We have enjoyed getting to know you and your classrooms and we hope that you have taken away helpful ideas and practices to improve student achievement! See you at the Social Hui on November 15th November at Mangere College!

Cluster Meeting 4 - 05.09.2019

Thank you to all of those who came to our session on Thursday 5th September. There were some fantastic discussions to be had around student choice and voice in the classroom, and it was also exciting to see the different ways that we are currently doing this within our own classes. We were all able to take some new ideas back our schools and we look forward to hearing how these are implemented! Below is a link to our slide set for the day, as well as a link to a reading that was mentioned around student voice and it's importance for our students.

Our next session will be in Week 2 of Term 4.

We had another great session focusing on an article by Alison Davies. We were able to talk about different ways teachers are able to meet the intrinsically motivating needs of our students, and created a list of these (which you can see below).


We look forward to seeing you at our next session on the 5th of September!
