We believe that when learners have the dispositions required for living and lifelong learning, their academic success will improve. Our challenge is to help learners become active players in the learning process.
This has implications for the kind of education our young people require, and the focus of the teaching and learning they experience. The New Zealand Curriculum invites us to put today’s students at the centre, and strengthen the dispositions required to develop “capabilities for living and lifelong learning” (NZC, 2007, p.12). Capital City Kāhui Ako is supporting teachers and leaders with this pedagogical shift by providing opportunities for them to share a common language, deepen our understanding of pedagogy leading to students having more agency in their learning and use the expertise of teachers in our community to share stories of practice. The Capabilities for Learning Community of Practice has focused on Universal Design for Learning (2020) and how explicit teaching of the 'thinking' and 'managing self' key competencies can lead to more agentic learners (2021). The shared thinking from these various hui are shared on our website, newsletters and blog. |
