What we offer

We offer tailor-made mentoring, coaching and professional growth opportunities for both leaders and kaiako. We encourage a culture of continual professional growth through processes that connect to individual passions and interests. Passion inspires learning. Passion is also contagious, and when we focus on what we are curious about through PGC inquiry, it is likely to create a vibrant learning space for kaiako, tamariki and whānau.

Leader Appraisal/Professional Growth Cycle and Teacher Certification

We offer a process that is both meaningful and motivating for Kaiarataki/leaders and Kaiako.

Access to our Professional Learning Networks included.

When Kaiarataki have been part of the mentoring process over time then their Educating Hearts and Minds Kaiāraihi can support them through their ERO review.

Mentoring/Coaching/
