Hello all

The agenda for the day


 * Chris Arcus**

Chris talked about building the community. Within the group there's huge expertise and we can work together to harness this and to build ways of supporting schools. It's not about finding the silver bullet because there isn't one.

We're working to join the vision values and KCs of the NZC with the learning areas. We need to take the conversations out of the staffroom and into classrooms.

Chris also talked about what schools value and what they want. They want quality external support and of course they want time. They want to know other schools are doing and they to be able to develop ideas together in their staffrooms and between schools (clusters) We also discussed minsitry initiatives and how we need to connect them using the NZC as the connector.
