Why LCS?

Our pedagogy ‘Learn, Create, Share’ puts our young people at the very centre of their learning.

Teaching and learning is clearly the umbrella mechanism to activate and sustain the pedagogy, which is essential for learning, whānau engagement and device readiness. There is an expectation that participants will constantly reflect on how well they are doing in relation to the Learn Create Share pedagogy. This pedagogy drives toward visible and ubiquitous learning, strong learner agency and connectedness to grow knowledge.

The 'Learn' element has the potential to be the most challenging aspect of 'Learn Create Share'.

The Maniakilani foundation document from 2007 described our common agreement to implement our learnings from Schooling Improvement alongside emerging digital innovations.

'Create'

One of the foundation goals of Manaiakalani is to "Motivate our learners to engage with the curriculum" and a significant driver for engagement has been our intentional use of modern technologies to enable creativity to play a significant part in learning and teaching opportunities.

Two of the foundation goals of Manaiakalani are encapsulated in the word 'Share':

One. Work with learners to establish an authentic audience for their learning outcomes

Two. Empower our learners with an evidence-based belief that their personal voice is valuable and powerful
