Contextual Well-being

Contextual Well-being - inspired by Janine Brown

In 2019 one of our goals is to :

  • Promote well-being for ourselves and ākonga

We need to be developing this through-out learning...

Keeping in mind our ākonga with trauma 

  • encourage and support these ākonga being in the state of flow 
  • how does this make them feel? 
  • Removes the unpleasant feelings they are used to  
  • this leads to "un-learning"


How does the Kōrepo space (quiet learning space) enable ākonga to be autonomous?


  • Independent learning
  • Conferencing


According to Tara O'Neill learning for a learner is a bubble - so what about kaiako intervention? Do we have to engage? Can we learn from just observation?

What about ākonga access to resources ? 

  • headphones
  • learning materials
  • non-messy creative materials e.g. stationery, books, paper.


Access to kaiako e.g. knowing kaiako timetable

As teachers we need to practice the art of being mindful. This is my one word goal.

Being in the present is an awareness of how our state (physical, emotional and mental) may be affecting our thoughts.


Be Responsive - not reactive.
 In week 1 & 2 My induction workshops were based on emotions, stress and neuroplasticity.
