Talofa lava! Can't believe it, it finally arrived .. MIT Hui Wananga 2021!
From applying for MIT to presenting in front of a live online audience .. nerve-racking! Throughout the year, the whole inquiry process was thought-provoking & enriching especially as a Junior teacher. Unpacking the challenges we face in our classroom to the multiple solutions sought after, that best fits our learners.
Even prior to presenting our pre-recorded video, upon reflection there were few key elements that I missed. In saying that, long term I'm looking forward to post-MIT how to grow our emerging bilingual students to succeed in all areas of learning. It won't be an easy feat but will try!
"E sui faiga ae tumau fa'avae" translates to "The form changes, but the underlying principles remain".
During the Hui, this Samoan proverb protrudes, as we live an evolving world given our perspectives, approaches & PCK alters still the foundation remains. From the talanoa from Sir Pat Snedden, Dr Rebecca Jesson's & team, how do we give skills when they learn how to apply tomorrow and when we're not there.
Faafetai, faafetai, faafetai lava to Dorothy & Matthew through their mentorship & leadership & patience, through our MIT journey. Jenny Oxley & team for behind the scenes, administering this to make it happen (& Uncle Bill).
To our MIT cohort 2021 - "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has" quote by Margaret Mead. History-makers!
