Dr Lester Flockton
Ascot Park Motor Hotel
Corner Tay Street & Racecourse Road, Invercargill
Friday 24 August 2018
10.30 am – 2.30 pm
Seminar for Principals, Senior Leaders, Curriculum Leaders
Taking the lead and progressing the New Zealand curricula involves setting a direction that variously connects, reconnects, and disconnects curricular policies and practices of the past and the present, while looking to the future.
The past is recalled by a diminishing few.
The present is all too familiar.
The future is uncertain.
Taking the lead involves giving certainty to direction, but this begs questions of which direction, whose direction, and how that direction is secured.
This seminar addresses key issues and challenges that confront those who would take the lead. It illustrates opportunities available to schools for re-thinking and reshaping curricula, assessment and reporting practices.
