Wintec Te Pūkenga
Theme: Māku anō e hanga tōku nei whare – I myself will build my house: Building, living and practicing resilient lives
- For the first time, we are allowing presenters to present on topics within or without the academic spectrum on topics that matter to them, to acknowledge and remind Learning Advisors that we are educators, we are builders, we are more. Using Te Whare Tapa Whā as a guide for our online hui, presentations and discussions can consider one of four domains:
|
Hinengaro – Academic Eg research, theory, literacy/numeracy, ESL, online, mental health, resilience |
Tinana – Practice Eg practice, workshops, Te Reo Māori pronunciation workshop, creating resources, sharing resources, meditation strategies |
|
Wairua – Diversity Eg neurodiversity, accessibility, wairuatanga, holistic wellbeing |
Whānau – Special Interest Groups Eg Te Pūkenga, MATHLAANZ, Science, Whakahou – recovering from work chaos |
