Determination is nothing without dedication ....

At the beginning of this week I got this photo sent to me by this boy's mother.  I'm sure this hits you in
different levels but for me it is simply a form of dedication. This boy started school at the beginning of this
year and now he's back at home. I have so much love for my learners and their whanau. 

Profiling ~ Knowing my Learners

A reflection of the past two weeks has also come to mind when seeing photos sent by parents and the
discussions that I have had with them about their children. I want to say that this is a good time to
learn more about our learners especially from their parents/caregivers. I am quiet lucky in a way for
I talk to parents most of the time and everyday I find new things about my learners. I guess that's the
benefit I get from this lockdown - I get to know more about strengths, weaknesses and needs of my learners.
Now it’s my turn to document and adjust my teaching practice to cater for their learning needs considering
all the things that has been discussed with parents/caregivers.
