Just in case anyone is looking here and planning to attend the newspapers workshops tomorrow in Whangarei or next Wednesday in Kerikeri, they have been postponed until next term when hopefully we can get some more registrations... I guess everything is feeling a bit rushed coming towards the end of a busy term.
Di Eastwood said she is happy to contact people individually to share her resources / links, deastwood@kerikerihigh.ac.nz

Newspapers in Education workshops
Di Eastwood, TLR and English teacher at Kerikeri High School has had a very successful time using Newspapers in Education resources with her Year 7 and 8 students in English and Social Studies classes and in the library.
She is offering a free workshop on this in Whangarei and Kerikeri – all welcome, classroom teachers especially, Years 5 – 9 (may be of interest to librarians, but probably more about classroom teaching using these resources).

Programme for 2011
The SLANZA Tai Tokerau Committee got together one Saturday earlier this term and planned a programme of meetings / professional development for the region for the rest of the year.
We tried to come up with a mix of both practical and inspirational sessions, deliver events around the region as much as feasible, and keep the cost as low as possible for participants.
Please take the time to look through the following posts about events and let us know about any that you think you would like to attend. If an event is not offered in your area, then maybe it could be if there were enough people, so let us know if you are interested…
If people don’t participate in SLANZA / attend events, it will come to a grinding halt ! An organisation is only as lively as its membership, so please support these events, and / or identify other areas you would like to see happening, as well as letting others in your school know who might be interested. We need you to keep us going… :)
