MIT2021 at a Glance

This year I was very fortunate to be a part of the Manaiakalani Innovative Teachers 2021 Group. I was one of seven other teachers from around New Zealand to take part in this project this year. 

We started our project using a Design Thinking Process to help us unpack our project and to determine what we wanted to focus on for the year. As the year progressed we came together once a term in Auckland to discus our projects and receive ideas and feedback from our fellow MIT colleagues. 

We were very fortunate in the Term 3 holidays to head to Rarotonga to present our projects with teachers over there. As the year came to an end we our presented our final project at an online Wananga to our Manaiakalani Cluster Principals. 

My project is called Matauranga Pangarau and had a focus on Maths Knowledge for Levels 2-4 of the curriculum.

MIT Wananga

Friday 29 October was meant to be the day for us to share our MIT projects in person with Manakalani Principals across New Zealand. However, due to current Covid restrictions across New Zealand, it was not possible for us to all meet together in one place to share our presentations. 

Instead the Wananga went online and we shared our presentations through pre-recorded videos. I have attached my final video in this post. This video outlines my journey throughout the project and how I got to my final product.
