Exploring Ako workshop series
This online workshop series investigates six key principles for enhancing learner outcomes in tertiary education.
Participants are welcome to attend any combination of overview and elective workshops. Attending the overview workshop first will assist in choosing from the following electives, but is not required.
About the facilitator
Jane Terrell is an independent educational facilitator with experience across the tertiary sector and most recently in work-based learning.
She is dedicated to ensuring educational success for under-prepared ākonga groups, with a particular focus on interactive, dialogue approaches. These are underpinned by her commitment to “ako”, teaching and learning as a reciprocal process, and by her awareness of education as anthropology.
Jane has worked in a wide range of tertiary education and industry contexts. These include wānanga, university, Te Pukenga, PTEs, workplaces in NZ and Austria, and the tourism industry in Vietnam.
Digital badges
Kaiako will receive a digital badge for participation and 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.
Kaiako can receive a second digital badge, after at least three months, for providing evidence of the implementation of new principles and professional sharing of practices, and the impact of these on outcomes for ākonga.
