Manaiakalani Teaching as Inquiry Framework

My 2017 CoL Inquiry Focus:
“Extending prior knowledge and critical thinking, while promoting dialogic conversations with students who are reading at/above grade level.”

The Manaiakalani Community of Learning is working together on this task using the expertise existing in of our community of learning.

In 2017 for my inquiry I have selected the following CoL achievement challenge: 
3. Lift the achievement in reading for all students, with a particular focus on boys and Māori students (both genders), years 1-13

The teaching as inquiry framework I will be using in 2017 has been specifically co-constructed for Manaiakalani schools using our familiar Learn Create Share structure.

The elements in this framework share close similarities with other models New Zealand teachers use.



Throughout the year, I will be labelling my blog posts to reflect our Learn, Create, Share structure.

  1. # Manaiakalani Hui. Ka Pai Angela...the progress you have facilitated and enabled your students to make is outstanding. Your passion to empower them to strive for greatness is infectious and the life-skills you are nurturing within them will be secured not only for their future but also that of future generations.

  2. I really enjoyed talking to you about your journey as two teachers in an ILE. It was great to hear how you have been quite fluid with your groupings to extend your inquiry target learners. I'm excited to see how you bring those 3 learners back to their original group to act as leaders!

    1. It was great to talk with you both on Friday! Those three students have been doing so well stepping up with greater confidence now that they are back in a group with the others.

      Enjoy the remainder of the term!
