Join Simone Marsters and Greta Dromgool in a session which will demonstrate what it looks like to bring resources from Pōkapū Akoranga Pūtaiao – Science Learning Hub alive in your classroom.
Ever looked at resources and thought how do I make them work for my class? You're not alone. The Hub has so many resources, some of them covering some pretty complex science, let us break down the steps we take when adapting a resource to meet the needs of our students.
He waka eke noa!
Mā te tuakana te teina e tōtika, mā te teina te tuakana e tōtika – from the older sibling the younger will be guided, from the younger sibling the older will be guided. The classroom environment is one where we are able to share and contribute to each other’s learning. We have as much to learn from our ākonga as they do from us.
During the webinar we will give examples of common primary classroom topics and how we have used Hub resources to inform and engage students. There will be opportunities for asking questions and sharing ideas throughout the session.
This session will be valuable for primary and intermediate school teachers.
During the webinar we'll be live tweeting summarised points with the hashtags #SLH_webinar #SLH_PLD on our Twitter feed.
