Our Point of Difference is our focus on storytelling for peer learning. We best learn from people we respect and admire. View below an introductory trailer of interview excerpts that make up part of our teaching materials.
In line with the New Zealand curriculum, our resource is an inquiry-based teaching model.
The Ministry of Education Diagramme below describes the underlying dynamics of this model.

The model for inquiry teaching is
a cyclical process as on this illustration. At the focusing inquiry stage
the teacher appraises the “baseline” starting point by asking “What do my
students know already?” and proceeds to collect this information from the
students in class. This is important to decide what they need to learn next. At
the teaching inquiry stage, the teacher use practice-based evidence
to plan these learning outcomes. Throughout the learning inquiry stage,
the teacher evaluates the results of the teaching with a range of assessments
to determine what the next stages are.
