Our vision for education

is intertwined with living

acknowledges our role within something bigger

Values the contribution of us as specks within the biggerness

works on the concept of ako where we are all learning and teaching together

includes everyone

involves shared responsibility

happens slowly and peacefully - there is no rush

Inspiration to co-create but some aspects included:

modelling and sharing - can be short and snappy,

visibility and video

Return of traditional knowledge and skillsets, continue to grow and develop these in young people.

Focus on values (kindness, empathy, sharing, care).

Connecting the Enviroschools Kaupapa, taking it into homes.

Education that supports and enables super-localised connections to place (where to find food, belonging…) and tools to build a sustainable world.

Build in time for reflection and pause.

Technology as an enabler for connecting.

Link to life skills as a focus for education – baking, fitness, food, fire-lighting – keep this going all the time, not just during rāhui.

Our vision for education and what we want to co-create

Education that is simple, more local and based in taiao, real and brings joy

Based in the community, with a range of teachers

Working with the maramataka Maori, education that is NZ inspired

Doing less and going deeper.

Letting children explore and question to inspire the learning process

Maintaining some of the beauty of this time.

# data[].attributes.body
Listen to our tamariki – our empowered students – take our lead from them, let them be the leaders.

Support and empower our teachers – Have they had time to reflect on what is important to them at this time and how do we support them with this.  We can help to release any pressure they may be feeling by bringing peacefully supportive conversation.

Using technology to our advantage – become more tech savvy – create videos – zoom links and clusters

How do we ensure this time of slowing down and being more mindful is nourished and sustained going forward. It is so valuable.

Using Māori knowledge as a foundation to connect with each other and the environment. Its time to be innovation and leaders.

Vision for education – key themes

·     Deep connection as the base, people and taiao, people and people

·     Flexibility – no one way to learn, responsive to needs of tamariki and their whānau, listen to what young people are saying/hoping for/needing

·     Manifestation of ES kaupapa everywhere – the ES big picture

·     Education understood as happening everywhere, not in the walls of a classroom, learning in, with, about and for community

·     Authentic place-based, real life

·     It will be inspiring!!

What are we inspired to create

·     Opportunities for connection with nature

·     Local collectives of envio-educators

·     Authentic learning opportunities

·     Magic

·     Walking alongside young people

·     What is the MoE open to supporting now? Pushing the boundaries

·     Smaller group opportunities – the stay home has highlighted the value of this in whānau...e.g. baking with two children...how can this be carried back into centres

·     Amplify the inspiration of the ES kaupapa in the ECE sector into primary and flowing onto secondary

·     Share our approach of skilled facilitation and connection to taiao through Matauranga Māori with others also in a education space.. our network has much to offer...eg Sustainable Business Network, sustainable farming, Better Futures Forum...

·     Share our narrative and provide opportunities for more people to experience our kaupapa

Our vision

Less travel, enabling us to spend the time creating resources and connecting digitally instead where this is a more efficient use of our time.

Permission to integrate emotional, home life and work life which is healthy and don't have o have different personas, get to bring whole self

Whanau have time with tamariki an opportunity to enhance whanau in curriculum design and engage in Maori perspectives

We are excited to hear from children

We don't want to lose what this brings, we don't want to go back to the way things were

Enjoy that can work with personal rhythm

Reclaim spaces taken by cars

Co-creation

Wanting to try different things out and see how they go

Keen to hear from students and be in partnership with them. Youth centred, holistic, empowered -  feeling they have choice in their engagement. an example being screen time then do interesting stuff as a group so they still get their social engagement.

- Technology – Zoom collective, between facilitators and out to teachers, while still encouraging people to get into nature!

-  Sustainable communities - Empowering parents and teachers to live sustainably, partnerships to restore nature

-  Nature based and experiential – outdoor classrooms the norm

-  Pedagogy – Ako – reciprocal, place-based, learn by play, break down inequalities

-  Respond to change in this emerging world – from young age aware of natural cycles, then local issues and solutions, always taking action… opportunity to reverse effects of climate change

# data[].attributes.body
Overview:  We should be thinking community-wide rather than just with students/ teachers, and modelling all this.

Vision:

- Keeping it local

- Recognising the strength of us nationally and feeling connections globally

- The rest of world is more ready than ever to be sustainable and conscious of economic, societal, cultural. Facilitators being recognised as professional leaders in this field.

-  Us as facilitators of community – is it time to broaden from working with teachers to parents, children and communities?

-  Moving away from hard copy and embrace the virtual space, with balance: Managing that way of learning rather than letting it control us - The ES kaupapa encourages you to go outside and do stuff

- Benefits to the environment - What we do doesn’t have to be big

- Links between environmental health and human health and wellbeing

- Collective database of resources so we are not reinventing wheels

- Slowing down and reflecting – model that and lead that

-  Time to step up and lead

-  Personal connections – ES staff with students is really important

-  Real connections are what is going to inspire kids to connect with nature and want to do this as a career later on

Co-creation
-  Inclusion of whanau and community – widening our reach

- Cluster workshops– whanau and community workshops, night bush tours – community come and tamariki lead and talk

- Broadening our scope.

-  Modelling this experience / living the life

-  Access to resources

-  How do we capture the modelling – videos??

-  Accreditation for our professional  expertise

-  Funding relates to numbers of schools/ kindergartens.  If we are looking to be broadening our accessibility (into the community), then how do we extend our capacity.  Question mark to Toimata – additional funding or cross Governmental input???

What is our vision for education? Petra, Nerida, Jacqui, Morag and Andrea

Regenerative, nourishing, connected, whanau

Sharing knowledge, drawing on wisdoms of indigenous people of this land

Curriculum co-constructed with communities, local curriculum, connection to community and environment

Hands on, practical, experiential – especially relevant now, intergenerational approach

Meaningful learning, whanaungatanga, child inspired inquiry

Families more engaged

Teacher wellbeing nurtured

What are we inspired to co-create from this time?

Outdoor classrooms, nurturing spaces

Social and emotional wellbeing

Sustainable living skills

Teach responsibility, looking after families

Quality time vs quantity? Could the school day be reshaped to allow for optional whanau time/learning?

MOE online learning website – could Enviroschools have a presence here – what would it look like?

Could young people be teaching others and how? – tuakana teina

# data[].attributes.body
We’re enjoying the chance to be and stay local, being present to our local neighbourhood in new ways, new observations.

Connected in our bubbles, whanau time and connection, time to move, garden, cook, read, think, be still.  Kindness, and empathy.

What is education? It support the valuable experiences of life we’ve had to continue. It’s collaborative, about hauora and wellbeing, whanau community connected.

Collective living in balance, where all are looked after; feeding each other /ourselves first,  then share surplus.

It’s healing, regenerative, facilitates transition, nurturing of talents and contribution.

Other thoughts:

Secondary space, many expectations are still BAU.  There is growing appetite for cross-curricular, project based learning.

Secondary zoom happening in HB could be extended to national touchdowns regularly on zoom to share & support EfS standards use.

What are the strtuctures, and practices we can foster to keep the goodness from this Rāhui period a new normal?

Ground swell of looking to live and learn more locally, in more versatile ways… which we can support through ES - alongside the big picture - can we maintain some of the ways of learning that we are currently experiencing?
Swapping over of who is the teachers and the learners. Ako
Changes in what we value - both what we now have time to experience but also what we are missing eg community - but community connections locally seem to be richer
If every child reflected on what they have learnt during this time of lockdown - wonder what their responses could be
Greater awareness of different experiences that different people are having
- lessons there about privilege, democracy and economies - children of all ages can develop that awareness, resilience.
Education settings will need to have a big emphasis on the wellbeing of their tamariki, students, whānau and community

What is our vision of education ?

A curriculum that is closely connected to people,place and things. ( te Whariki ) .  A localised curriculum.  A platform that empowers people wholeheartedly , whanau are involved to affirm - peaceful , healthy learning together -  collaboration through  sharing and valuing contributions -a curriculum that is balanced that keeps people to forefront , relationships are uplifted , connections are embedded and valued in shared  learning opportunities for te taio . eg care codes are a normalised way of being. Peacefulness and cooperation are a focus for learning - a fundamental approach. Learning together in communities that draws on creativity and inspiration unique to place.  Decision making is consciously linked to care and respect of he tangata and he whenua. A curriculum that extends across all areas , is collaboritive , is meaningful and relevant to communities.  A shift away from product to the premise of responsibility , nourishment of people and place.
What are you , and we, inspired to co-create from this time?

Slowing down , having the luxury of time in practice to co create . Co creating moving forward allows opportunities for collaboration with colleagues .  To brainstorm new ways of being in this space - a breathe of fresh air - to rediscover human spirit as it has shone through this crisis and reminds us of who we are in time and place. Sustainable communities are strengthened , opportunities to explore , responsive to new thinking , collaboration again to reach out where we can support , seek new ways - empower whanau , empower our families ,  be open to standing back and allowing new ways of connecting to develop ( future connections) . Listen to nature and take time to reflect frequently - value contributions - bring people together in new platforms - give time to landscape future needs of communities. Lean back on past wisdoms

Key message from our group was for genuine responsive education.  To touch base frequently in this way would be great also. Bring our families closer ......bring love to the forefront in all we do.

To summarise our vision: education will look different with more transferable skills; more focus on communities and community facilitation; local curriculum/place based education will be more of a focus; creating resilient and regenerative communities.

To summarise for creativity: digital resources; making connections between different resources, activities, programme and showing those in a visual model; back to basics with regenerative, place based, focus.

# data[].attributes.body
Partnership (whanau/ educators), beyond the building, versatile, Te Whāriki – holistic and practical education, community of learners, priorities, changes in traditional education systems, break down physical boundaries, collaboration instead of individualism.  Value the disposition for learning, learning how to learn differently, generally valuing diverse learning!
