"Kia Ora Fiona
Well done in your re election on National Executive - I know that last day can be really difficult but the team approach of our leadership team came shining through - well done !!"
"Hi Viv - I can only presume you are using the lowest form of wit !!!
Seriously though - on my experiences with under 2's - the need is even greater to have qualifed teachers . Yes - there is a care aspect to interacting with very young children…"
"Hi Francie
There is nothing fair and resonable about this government especially in relation to solving the real issues in education . I would believe that for most NZEI members it is the attack on basic conditions of work - the latest changes to…"
"Hi Kamrul
As much this increase would be welcomed I think it would be agreed to with some fish hooks with conditions . Looking at the budget cuts =- proposed through Tolley's department ( 45 million per year ) this increase may effect…"
"Hi Melanie . Totally agree with Roger's comments below . Some politicans delight in dragging a professional issue into gutter politics which I believe Mrs Tolley is trying to do . Presently teachers are being presented in some media outlets as…"
"Hi Dave
Well said , i'm not sure that Tolley ( and the other powers will listen ) However alongside the recent ERO report which the minister pushed onto TV 1 's breakfast programme came the research from Otago ( from the top of my head ! )…"
"Hi Viv
Yes I have the " package " . Being a classroom teacher in a specialist school , I am in a different kettle of fish again with such a range of students across different learning levels . The IEP process with a narrative assessment…"
"Hi Julie - an excellant link and core issues I have been going on about for quite a while . I just hope in the long term that this dinosaur is something that this government cannot sell to the adoring public - if the polls are to be believed ! My…"
"Hi Erin , I attended a focus group in South Auckland and heard the same thing . It will be interesting if the govt books are still that dire in 2010 and 2011 ! I noticed that the govt books have recorded gains in both the ACC investments and the…"
"Hi Roger , I must admit I agree with you . The view I have had is that the current government has portrayed our education system has one that is failing students . In reality the truth is probably we are , and will continue to perform strongly .…"
World Teachers Day
Hi EveryoneAfter much thought for World Teachers Day , my students put it best , just show our work isn't that what is imporant . So we decided to show our hands . For all the powers in Wellington , isnt it the depth of learning that is imporant . Can we consider how each student can gain confidence and a postive attitude for each learning experience in the classroom . ( remember key competencies anyone ? ) I have been careful not to include close up photos of the students because of the public…See More

National Standards
What a surprise , that this government is refusing to acknowledge the importance of data protection in regards to the implementation of national standards in the primary sector . This is not about raising student acheivement because if it was national standards would be more closely aligned to professional development related to the directions for learning document . Before the election it was made clear that national standards were a key driver in the national parties policy framework . It was… Continue
