Digital Technologies
Curriculum
Educators who are confident and highly capable of using a wide range of digital technologies empower learners to be creators rather than consumers.
Digital Fluency
All leaders want to develop a team who are confident and highly capable at using a wide range of technologies to empower learning. We support educators to turn theory into practice and push the boundaries of what’s possible.
Digital
Citizenship
Digital citizenship is about enabling young people to become confident, capable and safe in a digital world. To successfully lead your school, Kāhui Ako and wider school community to become healthy digital citizens, staff need to understand the digital ecosystem.
Innovative
Learning
The world now desperately needs agents of positive change.When we design authentic learning programmes that develop agency and connections to the local community, students go into the wider world knowing they can change it for the better.
Inquiry into
Practice
Just about every teacher will tell you that teacher inquiry is unnecessarily time consuming. We help simplify and make the process meaningful.
Sciences
Science is an exciting and motivating way for students to learn how to think critically and problem-solve.Educators who understand science, who are confident and well prepared to teach can engage students with hands-on and interactive projects.
