Whakatauki
E noho e, kia raungāwari.  Sit down and bide your time.
Kia ora and welcome to 2018.  In 2017 teachers within the Mawhera Kāhui Ako
participated in Teaching As Inquiry. That was a great introduction for many of you to
the world of inquiry.  As you may know current best practice for inquiry is
“Spirals of Inquiry”.
There will be a lot of conversations around this during Term One.  You may wish
to review your own knowledge prior to those conversations.
Inquiry is an intrinsic part of teaching as indicated in the previous and new
Teacher Standards:
Teachers Standards #2 Professional Learning Using inquiry, collaborative problem-solving and
professional capability to impact on the learning and achievement of all learners. Inquire into and reflect
on the effectiveness of practice in an ongoing way using evidence from a range of sources.
