Planning tools and ideas for kaiako
Kia ora kaiako here is a smattering of ideas that can help start your journey in arotahi.
You also have key people at Ao Tawhiti available to support you in designing and redesigning arotahi for ever-changing ākonga and Homebases. Melva Gill the Arotahi Coordinator is released to meet with LAs in 1-1 mentoring and is always keen to chat about arotahi melva.gill@aotawhiti.school.nz. If you are a beginning teacher or new to the school you can also link in with Libby Boyd who is always eager to talk through designing arotahi libby.boyd@aotawhiti.school.nz. You also have your Community Leader who will often be designing the way arotahi is enacted across your floor.
Please look at the Planning tools and ideas for families and tamariki for scaffolds to use for students. We are also keen to add new ones as you develop or come across effective tools so please share. Check back to see what peers are sharing as ideas throughout the year.
When thinking of designing arotahi for a HB or with ākonga the tools below use language such as inquiry, design thinking, projects, curriculum planning, self-directed learning, etc. As discussed earlier Ao Tawhiti uses the word arotahi to describe the design of individualised learning pathways for our ākonga to possibly include these tools and the freedom to design so much more.
Some of these tools here are historical and for reference and some are to spark your future thinking.

When co-creating goals at IEMS or later, designing with these aspects in mind helps create achievable goals for an individual or a group. Each arotahi pathway or ākonga will need individualised mapping out. This site offers one possibility.
