This workshop focuses on Principle 1, Knowing your ākonga and the demands of the learning. As the foundation for effective teaching and for all six principles, this principle ensures learning remains accessible, relevant, targeted, and more likely to result in successful outcomes.

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

• consider the diverse backgrounds of ākonga
• select tools, strategies and activities for identifying ākonga learning strengths and challenges
• reflect on learning demands of their teaching context in relation to ākonga diversity

This workshop set is designed to support the aims of the Ako Aotearoa project Ako Explored – Six principles for enhancing learner outcomes in tertiary education
