LOCKDOWN LEADERSHIP LESSONS | “Looking around the world, it is interesting how many of the best-performing leaders are women; Angela Merkel in Germany, Tsai Ing-wen in Taiwan, Erna Solberg in Norway, Mette Frederiksen in Denmark, Jacinda Ardern in New Zealand…. To see who has done badly, just look at the numbers – the U.S., Britain, Russia and Brazil. And what else do Mr. Trump, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Putin and Mr. Bolsonaro have in common? They are nationalists, populists, liars. They reject genuine experts. They are motivated more by their own interests than those of the people.”Alastair Campbell, UK author and strategist |

KNOWLEDGE ECOLOGY -Learning and adapting in tough times |
“Failure is often seen as a source of shame. But if we studied and shared our failures, we could learn a lot from them.” Christian Jarrett 17 June 2020 Successes enjoy more attention than failures. Yet it is often the errors, missteps and outright flops that contain more useful practical information on how to do things better, if only we were more willing to share and study them. If we don’t pay attention to failures we won’t learn the lesson of how to succeed. |

Haeata Community Campus opened its doors in 2017 to 950 students, following the closure of four schools in Christchurch’s eastern suburbs – Aranui High, and Aranui, Avondale and Wainoni primary schools. New principal Peggy Burrows, who started in a caretaker role in January and was appointed permanently in April, has suggested a raft of changes for the Board of Trustees after analysing the school over the first two terms. This included more structure for students, direction for teachers, clearer recording of data to track progress, and involvement from whānau and community. She plans to improve student outcomes but retain its modern learning environment. More |

LEADING CHANGE AND MANAGING TRANSITIONS | Organisational culture is a system of shared assumptions, values, and beliefs, which governs how people behave in organisations. These shared values have a strong influence on the people in the organisation and dictate how they dress, act, and perform their jobs.
Culture expresses goals through values and beliefs and guides activity through shared assumptions and group norms. Strategy provides clarity and focus for collective action and decision making. It relies on plans and sets of choices to mobilize people and ideas. It also incorporates adaptive elements that can scan and analyze the external environment and sense when changes are required.

LEARNING AND EARNING IN THE COVID ECONOMY | “You have to get people into work by the age of 22; 25 at the absolute latest.” Scott Morrison, Australian PM Press 18/6/20
Education can and should be a pathway out of poverty. If a young person isn’t in work by their early twenties, odds are that they face a future of welfare dependence. The Grattan Institute on the impact of the coronavirus pandemic has had on disadvantaged students, has found that the achievement gap between them and their peers widened at more than three times the usual rate during the period of lockdown remote learning. |

| #4.00pm | Session 5.i | Speaker: Dr Kerry Spackman Leading Cognitive Neuroscientist (Psychophysics) Topic: Navigating Knowledge with AKO Digital Maps
|
Neuroscientist, KEA World Class Award winner and former Auckland Grammar School teacher, Dr Kerry Spackman’s revolutionary learning system – Ako Maps – addresses the holy grail of teaching: Deep Learning, Critical Thinking, Creativity and Collaboration. Using practical classroom and online examples, he will demonstrate some of the features. Deep understanding is greatly enhanced when a student’s brain connects new information with what they already know. Coupled with tools based on cognitive research, students retain more information which they can put to practical use in novel ways. In an age of fake news, critical thinking is more important than ever before. More |
