A basic overview of the methodology behind our facilitation plan.

1. Whakatu Schools’
eLearning Cluster
Facilitation Model

2. Vision
• To build a strong network of educational
leaders to facilitate projects within our
cluster, build capacity among our teachers
and lead our cluster beyond 2011.

3. The ‘Trident’ Approach
Collaborative
Mentor Learning

4. None of us is a smart as all of
us... (Sir Ken Robinson)
Collaborative
• For this reason you will facilitate in groups and arrange
your own ways of communicating and sharing your
learning, understanding and building your project to
support the learning of the rest of us.

5. We all rely on each other for
the success of our endeavours
Mentor
• You can work with a principal in our cluster to support
your collaborative learning or point you in the direction
of the literature or people who have rich understanding
in this field. The principal is the one who can support
your developing pedagogies.

6. ‘He/She who dares to teach,
must never cease to
learn’ (Richard Henry Dann).
Learning
• This means that you are expected to be a lead learner
and model the growth in learning that we are expecting
from our teachers. Your learning in this time is facilitated
largely by you, through your learning conversations.
