Teaching and Learning Innovation at Hagley Preschool

Jocelyn Wright —

Kaiako at Hagley Preschool are proud to announce that they are the successful recipients of a 2019 Teaching and Learning Innovation Project funded by the Ministry of Education.

The project is about the ways in which we can redesign our local curriculum and the impact this has on kaiako practices, including the emergence of new practices that will engage, motivate and impact positively on learner outcomes. The Preschool community is culturally diverse, with many families speaking languages other than English. In our redesign of curriculum we want to strengthen the ways in which we seek out and weave together the perspectives and dreams for tamariki of all families attending the Preschool. The project will involve kaiako in researching their teaching understandings and practice in the Preschool with the support of a mentor from the University of Canterbury.
