Why I hate school but love education!

The Lost Generation

“Education is a vision of what it is that our children will need if they are

going to flourish in the world that we predict it to be. What knowledge and skills, what attitudes and values

will stand them in good stead as they embark on life in a globalized

and digitized future?” Guy Claxton

● ‘Every voice heard’ to create our vision.

● Stock- take- where are we now?

● Where do we want to go?

● How do we achieve these goals?

● How do we prepare our students for the future that is

yet to be defined?

What is important for our students to learn?

Knowledge Dispositions

“the essence of what educators must do in the future

is the very same as it's always been: to help students

learn the relevant skills, knowledge, attitudes,

attributes, and behaviours that they'll need to be

good and productive citizens, parents, and workers.”Jukes

Define- THE PEKERAU WAY

● Learning happens between leadership and teachers, teachers

and teachers, teachers and students. (Reciprocal learning)

● Sharing quality practice (Collegial learning)
