Digital Fluency to Support Whole School Curriculum Development

The Ministry of Education and CORE Education invite you to a Zoom webinar: Digital Fluency to Support Whole School Curriculum Development, presented by Catherine Johnson, Jess Bond and Karl Summerfield, CORE Education.

This webinar will address how Digital Fluency supports whole school curriculum development of and changes student equity and wellbeing.

How does Digital Fluency support whole school development of local curriculum design, and bring about visible changes in learning equity, hauora/wellbeing?

Capabilities associated with Digital Fluency - using and creating digital outcomes, requires students to know and use a ‘equity design for learning’ approach.

The ability to design authentic outcomes requires learners to step into the shoes of others. As they do this, they develop empathy, compassion, awareness, for others and their design capability creates self understanding, opening up possibilities for using the digital world to increase social justice at a local, societal and global level.

PLD recipients to date have benefited in the following ways.

• Teachers and kura who have developed their ability to support digital fluency capabilities can model and deliver equity design for learning that meets authentic local needs. They report increased learner wellbeing individually and within groups, as well as for themselves.
• development of an equitable, value-driven, human centered, and sustainable local curriculum.
• A new awareness of assessment for learning and its progressions evolve as their assumptions of student centered learning are challenged.
• Connections to Te Tiriti o Waitangi articles, and an Aotearoa curriculum (TMoA and NZC) can be made as learning in partnership begins to become a reality.

These sessions will be relevant to teachers, leaders, principals, tumuaki, kaiako, PLD Leads, PLD facilitators, PLD provider organisations, and regional office Ministry staff.
