// Ramarama // Conducting e-tools PD during Bible when teachers are released All teachers expected to attend Finding the 30 min time slot too short Need to investigate other options Inquiry PD- a group of teachers are working together and will be looking at developing e-learning progressions

// Papatoetoe Central // e-leaders are running e –workshops at different times during the week eg lucnthimes/ after school Optional attendance- need to find ways to improve attendance e-leaders are sharing new learning at staff meetings External facilitator(Stuart) working with a target group of teachers to improve e-tools

// Waiuku // e-leaders are working with a team of teachers Meetings are optional with some members only communicating by email- just in time learning Tuesday Morning “Tekky Brekky” sessions- would like a higher attendance rate Notes from Tekky Brekky made available to all staff Term 3 After school drop in- attendance to be built up   E-leader meetings held each fortnight

//__ Reremoana __// “Bytes” – (Build your technical expertise) sessions Surveyed staff in Term 2- what would you like for workshops? -disappointing response

// Everglade // Fortnightly after school workshops run by e-leaders- 6-8 regulars attending Some teachers settting up 1-1 sessions with e-leaders E-tools intensives ( all staff not involved in Numeracy project having 3 sessions on e-tools- replaces 3 staff meetings) Whole school Inquiry PD sessions with Facilitator

__ Common issues/ thoughts __ Buy in of staff for after school and optional sessions – How can we encourage more attendance? How can we use in school time creatively? Eg release in assemblies? Should we expect all staff to attend? Do we put in more expectations next year?
