As a part of my Community of Learning (CoL) role, my focus for 2020 is developing digitally literate learners who are capable of entering into the IT industry. As the Head of Technology, and Teacher of Digital Technologies at Tamaki College, I have delivered teaching and learning programs to Year 7 to Year 13 students from the Technology Curriculum, and am involved in transitioning students through the learning process associated with delivering the new Digital Technologies Curriculum. My inquiry will be focussed around my NCEA Level 2 and 3 students. The hunch that I have is that the online LearnCoach DigiTech modules that I intend using with my learners, will engage Year 11-13 students more with learning, which will accelerate achievement.

The following is an overview of my Inquiry for 2020.

About Me

Kia ora! I am the Head of Technology at Tāmaki College and also teach Digital Technologies.


My target group of learners for my Inquiry 2021 will be my Year 12 NCEA Level 2 class. This group of learners were my target group from my 2020 Inquiry. I would like to inquire into whether Academic Writing exemplars specific to Digital Technologies, in conjunction with the 'Explanation Writing' classroom display resources for Digital Technologies, based on SOLO taxonomy, could accelerate achievement in literacy in my subject.


My target group of learners for my Inquiry 2020 were my Year 11 NCEA Level 1 class. I inquired into the process of using the LearnCoach online programs (content) and VTaL Visible Teaching and Learning (workflow) to accelerate student achievement for Tamaki College students undertaking courses in Digital Technologies NCEA Levels 1, 2 and 3.


In 2019, my inquiry is to maximise pedagogical practices (relating to integrated education, and collaborative teaching and learning), to effectively shift student achievement, supported by digital platforms connected to visible teaching and learning.


My Inquiry in 2018, was to develop a VTaL Purpose-Built Innovative Tool, to enable all elements of the VTaL Framework to be accessible to teachers, in order to accelerate student achievement.


In 2017, my inquiry was based on raising student achievement and shifting teacher practice around effective pedagogical practices including Learn, Create and Share. This will be achieved through the development, implementation and monitoring of the Visible Teaching and Learning Framework.
