I begin the term refreshed and excited with the changes we have made to our kaupapa ako. Separating learners not by the choice of workshop but by their ability to work within the inquiry model and kaupapa ako.
This image I sourced through facebook (Mindshift page) came to light as a I thought through the groupings. Mindset for our kids I feel is the biggest barrier to learning rather than the space or academic ability.
Many discouraged by change are quick to criticise and focus on the negative and loss of their known.
One such student who was negative, unsure, reluctant to fully engage (and going through a lot at home) understood the new groupings in her reflection at the end of week one. Initially Xharyah had to be escorted to her group. I will encourage to reflect again on the grouping and her next steps for the next kaupapa.
