Induction Symposium

All 21 teachers selected from all around NZ, from the primary, intermediate and secondary teaching sectors arrived in Wellington at the start of February for our 3 day Induction symposium.  We were joined on the first day by some of the teachers hosts and principals and or HOD's.  It was a was an interesting day, especially listening to the hosts point of view about what they think is important for the New Zealand public should know about Science. I enjoyed getting involved with the the activity that was organised for the afternoon.  I could see how I could use this back in my classroom.
Day 2 was a nuts and bolts day - a lot of information.
Day 3 was a very challenging day as my head was hurting.  I found Sabina's presentation so much more practical than Rosemary Hipkins, I found some of the vocab new and found it hard to understand some of it, I think I will have to come back to this and revisit it when I am further down my journey.  I will have to do some research on the ideas she presented.
