Workshop Title: Kōrinorino o Ngā Tupuna - Following in the wake of our ancestors
Dean Stanley has 30 years experience supporting schools with Professional Learning and curriculum development. Prior to 2019, he lead the PLD team at the MoE, overseeing the allocation of locally-funded PLD across Aotearoa.
Dean has a strong interest in integrated curricula and place-based learning, and has a passion for creating local curricula that embrace the three concepts of Tūrangawaewae, Kaitiakitanga and Whakapūawai. In 2020, Dean worked alongside teachers from the Kāhui Ako and Worser Bay Boating Club, overseeing the development and implementation of a nationwide schools' programme called Kōkōkaha, leveraged by the America's Cup.
This was the first module of a a local curriculum called RŪNĀ, which supports ākonga to learn from the past in order to ‘steer’ toward a sustainable future.
RŪNĀ involves three modules:
Kōrinorino o Ngā Tupuna – Following in the wake of our ancestors
Kōkōkaha – Harnessing the power of wind
Moanamana – Building NZL’s Blue Belt
This workshop will give you an introduction to the RŪNĀ curriculum, with a particular focus on the Kōrinorino o Ngā Tupuna module (understanding local settlement stories).
You will also find out how you can use it in your school from Term 2 2022.
