We are fully prepared to welcome our incoming educators to the New Teacher Academy this July! 🍎💡

While our core educational resources are fully funded, tight budgets are affecting the purchase of welcoming decor, door prizes, etc.

We believe a teacher's first week should feel like a celebration. If you would like to help us provide those extra "welcome to the team" touches, you can browse our community wishlist here:

It's kind of sad reading this article and thinking, yes, we used to have a world-leading curriculum here in NZ that was headed in the right direction of core competencies and student agency, and now... we are in a time warp back to the 50s, thanks to Erica Stanford and co. sigh.

What’s stopping kids from learning useful skills? Short answer: exams

In many countries, national exams continue to reward memorisation, shaping what teachers teach and how students learn.

Journeys In Film May 4

🍎 To celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, we're highlighting North Putnam, the award-winning documentary about what it means to be an educator in America today.

North Putnam depicts a year in the life of a rural school district and the community it serves. The film doesn't shy away from depicting the challenges faced by modern education, but is also is primarily a story of hope. Audiences come away feeling energized to develop effective strategies for their own communities and inspired by the administrators, teachers, students and community members of North Putnam, Indiana. This film is excellent for educator discussions and professional development! 📚🎬

The North Putnam Study Guide is designed for grades 7-12, adult/higher ed and teacher PD.
