Exciting News ... have been accepted on the Manaiakalani Innovative Teaching Programme for 2019.

Looking forward to working with the MIT facilitators and other teachers around the country.

I feel like a student again, out of my comfort zone and will definitely be in that infamous learning pit during my MIT journey in 2019.

My initial proposal will be in the area of Mathematics and building and developing teacher capability in Mathematics using word problems in context to improve and accelerate students progress and achievement in Mathematics. Undertaking my teaching inquiry using the concepts of words, symbols and diagram when solving mathematical word problems using the Manaiakalani model of Learn, Create and Share.

I am sure it will be challenging and rewarding, and with the support of my work colleagues and those involved in the programme, I will enjoy the experience and opportunity of further developing my passion and interest for Mathematics.

The famous Albert Einstein said:

'Life is like a bicycle. To keep balance you must keep moving'. 

I will be riding my bike, fast, slow and I may crash and burn, although the MIT programme will allow me to keep my balance.
