Learning Services and Support Hui #3

Develop and implement our own Learning Support Delivery Model 
​​Across Our Community

Our In our previous hui it was agreed that we would like to collect anonymized information that would enable us to identify our collective ākonga needs and collaborate  in creating quick and innovative solutions to meet these needs.

A small working group then met to determine what our first steps in forming a register.  These key MOE documents were used to shape this hui and formed the basis of our discussions and decisions:

• Learning Support Delivery Model:  Learning Support Register user Guide,  
• Common Language for the Standardised Learning Support Register (sLSR),
• Learning Support Delivery Model:  A guide for groups sharing learning support information. 

In this hui we explored and trialled the common language that we use when referring to different learning needs of our ākonga, using a couple of mock case studies to test our understanding of the common language we agreed upon.  This provided valuable discussion and enabled us to amend the MOE's common language model to better reflect our usage and our ākonga's needs.

We then discussed the process that we would like to use for pooling this data and how we would like to collate this information and surfaced some privacy issues we needed to address to ensure we maintained the privacy of students and the data.

Our next steps include:

• Refining our common language based on feedback 
• Applying for URF to support the efficient collection of data
• Present draft privacy protocols as an addendum for Kāhui Leaders to approve

Thanks to our smaller working group, comprised of members of the Learning Services and Support group, who planned and contributed to the implementation of this hui.  The session was focussed, dynamic and thought provoking!
