Personal Details: (Name, Hapori, TAI Leader)	Janine Brown Kōrepo TAI Leader
What direction your inquiry might take? (themes/sub themes/topics)	Exploring CHOICE in learning How CHOICE impacts our akōnga’s learning? How do our akōnga choose in relation to their learning? How much impact do kaiako/ peers have in our akōnga in making their choice? How can we better support our akōnga in making their choices (in learning)? Are our akōnga ready/ able to make the right choices for their learning?
Why you think this is a good TAI for you? (kaiako focus)	In Kōrepo we expect our akōnga to choose….. Groups, kaupapa, behaviours. I am a huge advocate for this!
What you are looking to improve in ākonga achievement/success through this TAI? (ākonga focus)	That akōnga make informed choices for their personalised learning plans.
How do you know that aspect of achievement/success needs improving? (what is your evidence)	Students are making choices influenced by peers which can cause some negative behaviours: roaming, disengagement,
How are you contributing to the current situation? What is your hunch about it?
What new learning do you think you need to engage in in order to develop this?’ Teacher learning must be connected to identified learner needs.	Linc_ed- using the PLPs effectively- this is a role in our puna ako groupings
In what new ways might I plan teaching and learning opportunities aimed at achieving the outcomes prioritised in this inquiry.	By looking at the bigger picture- why choice? What influences choice in general- what can we learn?
Possible Timeline of new learning and new teaching opportunities	At least 6 months minimum- to monitor change in akōnga
