BLEND LEARNING
Blend’s vision is for every teacher to feel confident in delivering quality, innovative learning and for every student to have engaging learning experiences with opportunities to think creatively and critically. It’s about squeezing the most out of every teachable moment. We blend digital technologies, histories, science or STEM into meaningful and authentic local curriculum contexts, where students think deeply.
MOE attested facilitators work with leadership, teaching teams and students, facilitating a shared vision. We support schools through strategic planning, hands-on workshops, in class modelling and co-teaching to create successful pedagogical change.
Blend is a member of the Ministry of Education PLD Provider Panel. Contact us for all your PLD needs and support with your application for MOE Regionally Allocated PLD.
TAKING A LOCAL CURRICULUM APPROACH
We have been supporting schools with:
-
Developing a blended or integrated learning approach
-
Understanding what it means to learn locally and develop a local curriculum
-
Creating a local curriculum strategy that aligns to the curriculum refresh and ensures curriculum coverage
-
Aligning vision and values to student learning opportunities with clear coherent pathways
-
Connecting to local people, places and stories to make learning authentic and enriched
-
Developing robust inquiry models that provide students rich learning opportunties that develop critical and creative thinking skills
-
Looking for and understanding the history and science of your rohe and how students can share these stories using digital technology
-
Using design thinking so students become problem finders and take sustainable action as active contributors of your community.
Curriculum Refresh
Blend Learning stays ups to date with all requirements of the curriculum refresh and can provide tailored support to your school with regards to
Te Mātaiaho I The Curriculum Framework, including the Common Practice Model and the English and Mathematics Curriculums.
Mātauranga Māori and Critical Thinking sit at the heart of all eight learning areas, and these are key building blocks Blend Learning facilitators put in place when working alongside schools across any PLD we offer.
