As part of our Senco role Ruth and I organised a Mental Health Nurse to come to school to speak to staff. Carmen is now going to be coming into class to help students learn how to use diaphragmatic breathing.
We also organised Greta from Dyspraxia Support Group of NZ to come and take the staff through some PD around Dyspraxia because we have 3 identified students with these specific needs.
Reflection: Having speakers to school to speak to staff is a great way to resource teachers without sending them off to courses. Everyone seemed engaged and discussions arose regarding how it applied to students and classes.
Next Steps: How do we keep it real for the teachers? How can we make more opportunities for teachers to reflect on this learning? I think we should also make opportunities to bring other experts in to talk about other areas that address our needs as a school.
