Kia ora koutou,
AfL offers a vital framework for empowering our learners and fostering their growth. Implementing AfL practices can bring significant benefits to our kura and our tamariki. I have created a set of Google Slides that can be used within our kura to provide insights into continuing to implement the practice of AfL. These slides include the videos from Susan Arrowsmith, along with notes to summarise the content of the videos. Please click on the link to see the Google Slides presentation below.
