Welcome to Teaching in the ACCoS Kāhui Ako .
On Thursday afternoon, 20th of May, 25 Provisionally Certified Teachers, along with other staff from across the ACCoS Kāhui Ako came together to make connections and be encouraged and inspired as teachers, as they start their journey in this important and rewarding profession.
The lead principal, Jill Farquharson, welcomed teachers and outlined what the Kāhui Ako is and how it connects across the schools of all the teachers present.
Colin Dale spoke of the privilege and challenges of teaching. His stories covering many aspects of his experiences as as a teacher and principal, even a precious one from today. These inspired us to think about how we view learning, teaching and wellbeing and the ways we interact with the families and students in our communities.
His anecdotes about meeting students whom he taught in the past reinforced the impact that each teacher have on those we teach and gave us much to look forward to.
We hope that this opportunity to meet teachers from other schools is the first step in making connections across the schools and the education sectors within the ACCoS community. These connections will lead to further interactions, visits and the sharing of learning that will support PCT’s in their teaching journey.
Thank you ANI for hosting this event and to Colin for the love of the profession, inspiration and laughter that you shared with us all.
We look forward to the next event.
