Week 7: Hobsonville

Multi-disciplinary learning - 2 subjects taught by teachers whose strengths were these. The modules were designed by staff. 

To support ākonga with their self-directed learning their were clocks everywhere. Interesting that these were  all analogue clocks. Does this affect some who have struggled to tell time?

Space was  light and airy. Learning process (hexagons) were on walls and transparent to all. Staff voice/plans were transparent and not made pretty. Documentation was not redone to be neat and flash.

Concerns were the teacher space and Learning hubs had their fixed space. Really wary of this happening organically.  Surprised to see the tables/desks all facing the TV with a traditional class number of desks. I hope we don't work in this way- like to see groups and that video is accessed through different platform.

chewing gum- great to see that Maurie (the Principal) did not comment to students their use of chewing gum in the learning spaces.
