This workshop focuses on the Principle 4, Reflecting on active learning experiences. Reflection on experience allows ākonga to connect new information to pre-existing knowledge, and to share multiple viewpoints and experiences respectfully.

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

• select strategies for activating prior knowledge and life experience of ākonga
• plan for active learning with opportunities for authentic practice experiences
• enable ākonga to reflect respectfully and critically on their experience

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.
