Workshops

Michael Pohl Michael is booked to be at Muritai on Saturday the 13th of September. The cost should be around $50-$65 per person (depending on exchange rate) and there are 80 places in total. There would be no relieving costs as it is a Saturday.

Principal and Lead Teacher Days The first one will follow the same format as the one in May - principals and lead teachers from 9am to 12:30 and then lead teachers only in the afternoon. Thinking about the last one, it might be better to make that a full day for everyone and then head off for drinks afterwards - what do you think?

Term Three - 1st of August Agenda Items (please add more):
 * Feedback and discussion from the Auckland trip. Each school that attended is to add something to the Auckland trip wiki page to help others in cluster benefit from the knowledge and ideas gained.
 * Feedback and discussion from the Expo (which would also be fed into cluster survey). Have all the presenters uploaded materials to the Expo wiki so that it can be looked at from those at other workshops?
 * Cluster survey - this would have been due in a week before the meeting. Check everyone has completed it and early results shared.
 * SMS?
 * New curriculum implementation report from schools.
 * Some great teacher wiki pages highlighted and shared from the schools?
 * One idea per school sharing forum?
 * Lead teachers - working on benchmarks, more work on strategic planning, sharing ideas/ resources/ helpful strategies

Term Four - 28th of November
 * Schools share strategic planning and other sustainability plans
 * Check on cluster funds - has it all been spent?
 * Feedback and discussion on year group days - volunteer to write this up as a case for the Milestone?
