What is a teacher in the 21st Century? The world we inhabit is changing at a startling rate. As educators, we are trying to develop learners who are capable of being adaptive and competitive contributors. This applies to their future as employees and employers, citizens and family members. This is my record of how I will develop my teaching through inquiry to meet these changes.

Manaiakalani Wananga 2019 - Presenting my Inquiry
Today I presented a summary of my MIT Inquiry into literature circles, video creation and a shared blog.
Above is my presentation with speaker notes on alternate slides.
There were several key takeaways from this day:
- Change the subject of reading into the practice of reading across the curriculum
- There was a positive response to the data and findings from the inquiry (slides 19, 21, 24)
- In 2020 there will be a focus on reading. Much of my inquiry aligns with the Wolf-Fisher suggestions for lifting reading achievement - reading authentic texts, extended reading of a single text, extended discussion and conferencing, reading strategies, critical thinking, co-authorship and agency.
Next steps:
- Get some comparative data from within the school.
- Continue to develop the teacher section of the LIT CIR CON blog
- How do I implement the programme for 2020? New studio, new team, new students
