This workshop focuses on Principle 6, high expectations. Shared high expectations and challenging tasks combined with targeted support are powerful motivations likely to result in successful ākonga growth and development.

By the end of the workshop, kaiako will be able to:

• reflect on their own beliefs about ākonga capability
• consider strategies for encouraging intellectual challenge, within appropriate goals and with targeted support
• use ongoing evaluation to maintain balance between high expectations and ākonga capability

These workshops are designed to support the aims of the Ako Aotearoa project Ako Explored – Six principles for enhancing learner outcomes in tertiary education. 

Exploring Ako workshops

These online workshops investigate six key principles for enhancing learner outcomes in tertiary education.

Participants are welcome to attend any combination of workshops. Attending the overview workshop first will assist in choosing from the focussed sessions that offer a deeper dive into each principle, but is not required.

Kaiako will be strongly encouraged to participate in an ongoing Community of Practice to support implementation of the six principles, and reflect on their impact on successful outcomes for ākonga.
