Jayne White\, School of Teacher Education\, Faculty of Education\, University of Canterbury \nWednesday 10 April\, 7-8:30pm \nDespite the fact that infants have been part of the NZ ECE curriculum for well over twenty years\, the pedagogies that orient their learning are not easily asserted. There are several reasons for this – not least the lodging of infant pedagogies within wider agendas for older learners that emphasise intentionality. In this session Jayne will draw from her recent research to explore a series of alternative dialogic approaches to infant pedagogies and practices that turn to sensing\, relational pedagogies at their heart. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n View the other events in this series URL:https://events.elp.co.nz/event/opening-the-door-on-teaching-and-learning-for-infants-in-ece/ LOCATION:ONLINE EVENT\, New Zealand END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Pacific/Auckland:20240419T090000 DTEND;TZID=Pacific/Auckland:20240419T153000 DTSTAMP:20260423T233141 CREATED:20240212T233409Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240313T064829Z UID:10000126-1713517200-1713540600@events.elp.co.nz SUMMARY:Strengthening bicultural leadership in your place - Hamilton DESCRIPTION:It is integral for us as leaders in ECE to deepen and strengthen our knowledge and delivery of te tiriti-centred leadership\, in order to enact and remain true to Te Whāriki\, our bicultural curriculum.

DESCRIPTION:Beyond the Horizon: Continuing the journey into Kei Tua o te Pae – Part 2 Unleashed!Wendy Lee\, Educational Leadership Project \nWednesday 8 May\, 7-8:30pm \nLast year\, my lecture set the stage for Kei Tua o te Pae\, titled “Kei tua o te Pae\, beyond the horizon: An opportunity to revisit our Learning Stories journey.” Now\, two decades since the first publication\, we’ve witnessed significant advancements in documenting children’s learning assessment. In part two\, I’ll further this journey\, exploring the crucial aspects raised by Kei Tua o te Pae\, starting with the importance of Māori educational advancement. The focus will then shift to ‘assessment for learning’ Te aromatawai mō te akoranga\, covering key elements like everyday contexts\, embracing uncertainty\, listening to mokopuna\, and collective assessments. Throughout\, I’ll update documentation\, showcasing the richness of our two-decade journey and the enduring value of exemplars. The resource\, anchored in the powerful metaphors of Te Whāriki and Kei Tua o te Pae\, continues to fortify and enrich our educational practice in Aotearoa and beyond. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n View the other events in this series URL:https://events.elp.co.nz/event/beyond-the-horizon-continuing-the-journey-into-kei-tua-o-te-pae-part-2-unleashed/ LOCATION:ONLINE EVENT\, New Zealand END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Pacific/Auckland:20240515T183000 DTEND;TZID=Pacific/Auckland:20240515T203000 DTSTAMP:20260423T233141 CREATED:20240325T045432Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240325T045438Z UID:10000139-1715797800-1715805000@events.elp.co.nz SUMMARY:He aha ō koutou wawata?

We celebrate this uniqueness\, yet we are also committed\, as early childhood kaiako\, to being responsive to our mokopuna in ways that bring Te Whāriki aspirations to life. How then might we embrace the unique stories of our community while being very clear about the kind of learning culture we collectively aspire to? How do we figure out together ways to live Te Whāriki each day\, in the small listening responsive\, empathic moments as well as in the big value-laden messages we send to mokopuna\, whānau\, and each other through the ways we design our learning environments? \nThis workshop considers these ideas\, particularly in light of the ways we nurture each other’s professional growth and provide evidence for ERO and the MOE that we meet our obligations to document our progress towards embedding Te Whāriki aspirations into our individual and collective practices. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n View the other events in this series URL:https://events.elp.co.nz/event/weaving-te-whariki-aspirations-into-our-collective-learning-culture/ LOCATION:ONLINE EVENT\, New Zealand END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Pacific/Auckland:20240619T183000 DTEND;TZID=Pacific/Auckland:20240619T203000 DTSTAMP:20260423T233141 CREATED:20240325T045846Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240607T024803Z UID:10000140-1718821800-1718829000@events.elp.co.nz SUMMARY:Te Whāriki in Action: Using Learning Stories as evidence for your Internal Evaluation: Tauranga DESCRIPTION:Te Whāriki in Action: Using Learning Stories as evidence for your Internal EvaluationRoberta SkeochWednesday 19 June\, 6:30-8:30pmHe iti\, he iti mānukaThough little\, it is a mānuka treeThis particular whakatauki relates to the mānuka/ kahikātoa tree.

In essence\, these concepts are concerned with the relationship between people and their identities\, the place which they occupy as a learning community and the spaces around it\, imbued with story and history. The unique fabric of our learning space is what localises our curriculum. In the New Zealand Annual Review of Education\, 2009\, Wally Penetito tells us that place-based education “emerges from the particular attributes of a place and ….connects place with self and community….These curricula include multi-generational and multicultural dimensions.” For me\, one of the most powerful resources we possess in enacting meaningfully such curriculum are pūrākau o tangata whenua which\, from a Mātauranga Māori perspective “seek to explain who we are\, where we are from\, why we do things the way we do and how we organise ourselves with an eye to both past and future.” (Puwhare R.\, 2016). Moreover\, we cannot speak of truly honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi in our early childhood spaces without knowing the stories of the land we stand on. But how can we practically achieve this ‘knowing’ for our tamariki me ōna whānau? This lecture seeks to give one answer to a complex yet intriguing question from a kaiako Te Tiriti perspective. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n View the other events in this series URL:https://events.elp.co.nz/event/sewing-purakau-in-the-fabric-of-our-place-a-kaiako-te-tiriti-perspective/ LOCATION:ONLINE EVENT\, New Zealand END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Pacific/Auckland:20240715T150000 DTEND;TZID=Pacific/Auckland:20240715T180000 DTSTAMP:20260423T233141 CREATED:20240519T231628Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240612T064047Z UID:10000145-1721055600-1721066400@events.elp.co.nz SUMMARY:Dispositions for Joyful Learners\, with David Gilkes - Auckland DESCRIPTION:Monday 15 July\, 3:00-6:00pm\nAUT Millennium\, Rosedale\nTāmaki Makaurau Auckland\n \n \n \n \n \n $120.00 per person\, including light refreshments \n \n Click here to download a flyer to print and share\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dispositions matter.

Alison Gopnik’s comments are challenging too. “Our job is not to shape our children’s minds; it is to let those minds explore all the possibilities that the world allows”.Teachers’ practise that honours free play honours the aspirations of Te Whāriki as we are all asked to enable agentic children to have choices about what to learn\, when\, and with whom. This workshop provides practical examples of how to design environments for authentic free play to unfold. We will explore how to use Learning Stories to analyse the dispositions and working theories that are strengthened when children immerse themselves in play. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n A wide range of topics presented from 6:30-8:30pm!\nClick here to go back to the full series \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Please read our Terms and Conditions before purchasing.
