Modern Learning Research

Last night our Year 7&8 learners and teachers hosted an evening for parents who are interested in finding out more about how learning operates in the Totara Hub.  I was very proud of the preparation and confidence that our young leaders demonstrated as they talked enthusiastically about their learning.

We had a couple of readings available for parents to take away to explain the theory behind many of our recent changes in both physical environments and teaching and learning practices (teachers call the science of teaching and learning "pedagogy").  I thought some of you who weren't able to make the evening might be interested in learning more about why we are teaching the way we do now.

Both are relatively short, easy to read summaries of current research and thinking that informs what we do here at Maungaraki School… ENJOY!
