COL Meeting #1 for 2023

 Today we had our first COL meeting at Pt England school for the year.  

Here are some of the key points I took from the meeting.

• Anxiety
• Successful survival
• Uncertainty
  

What do we need most in 2023 … in a year of greater certainty?  

• Then the floods happened
• We were lucky compared to other places.
• 1950’s state houses stood up well (Mangere built badly)

• Frustrated novice to a novice who could deliver an adaptive environment.
• Routine expert: boring fart. 
• It’s hard:  how do we do it so that it’s useful. 
• Leader requests from across COL, they need PCK.
• Teachers said they needed learner resources and PCK

What is my goal using the data?

We have to move kids in a good direction.

Flooding video - adaptive and calm and example to all of us.  We live in a community of chaos.

How can i be an adaptive expert that give kids confidence that they are safe and can be the best that they can be.

A good inquiry is one that everyone can do at any school.

Be gut wrenchingly honest about the problem

At this meeting, there was an opportunity to connect with other COL teachers about inquiries that they were doing.  We got 20 minutes to meet and I connected with Robyn and Dianne from Panmure Bridge and Christine from Glen Taylor.  We were able to share what we thought could be a good inquiry and wanted to stay connected.  We did this through sharing an email later in the day.
