 * 2. __Personal Development received to date:__**

Several workshops have been attended by school staff either with the facilitators or lead teachers. Ø Lead teachers PD for both Linda and Nic 26th July and 15th August Ø Facilitator hands on workshops with staff attending either as a presenter or a participant: 2nd August, 9th August, 5th Sept and 6th Sept. Ø In school full staff P.D. · web 2 tools 1st August at 2 levels :entry and advanced · Inquiry and thinking tools: 22nd August

From the above sessions with the full school several teachers have gone on to set up or are in the beginning stages of setting up protopages or wikispaces. Support here will be ongoing from Nic and I. As the school has been focusing on thinking tool use all year there has been a large growth of use and confidence in this area with many staff very keen on P.D. Many examples of PMI, KWL and X or Y charts can be seen in the children’s work. The school has invested in several copies of the Kath Murdoch publication, ‘Classroom Connections’ and will be using this model to plan more integrated units with inquiry components.


 * 3.** **__Staff to set School Management Goal (if applicable)__**

All staff have received the first session of Personal Development with School Master on Student fills and maintenance (5th September 2007) The second session on assessment and planning is scheduled for this will allow the staff plenty of time to become familiar with the parts already covered.


 * __Summarise.__**

There is a definite buzz amongst the staff. People are openly discussing the positive changes, and excitement is building. Every staff member is keen to learn and relishing the new challenges. There is a greatly increased level of sharing and supporting in all areas of ICT. Finding enough really valuable PD could be the only handicap. It is essential we channel the positive and productive energy into quality learning situations that allow everyone to grow at their own speed and at their own level. Outside speakers and motivators like Tony Ryan are a real draw card and should be sought. I could have sent every member of the staff to Oamaru for his workshops, but unfortunately that was not possible. Teacher only days would be a really great time for real learning situations and I am sure that if the subject was valuable and could be delivered in an engaging way the staff would be keen enough to spend time during the holidays upskilling.
