Te Rito Harakeke - Marshland School principles of teaching and learning underpin the Teaching Council of Aotearoa New Zealand professional code and standards ‘Our Code, Our Standards’. To develop school indicators to guide our teaching practice, we also collectively unpacked contemporary literature and research. These standards, principles, and practices are embedded through staff professional growth cycles, professional learning, observation, and appraisal processes.

This engagement has led to our implementation of the ‘Learn, Create, Share’ learning model. This learning model is evidenced across the school and underpinned by our principles of quality teaching and learning. ‘Learn, Create, Share’ places our students at the centre of their learning and leverages digital technology to enhance learning experiences. There is an expectation that students regularly reflect on how well they are doing in relation to the Learn Create Share pedagogy. This pedagogical learning model promotes visible and ubiquitous learning, strong learner agency, and connectedness to support knowledge, understanding, and competency development.
