Thanks to Gaenor Stoate for drawing this article to our attention. It will be of particular interest to secondary English and drama teachers.

On 18th April the secondary cluster group held their regular skype discussion. Our small group really got its teeth into some ‘meaty’ discussion of power and the different forms it can take in a classroom. Our discussions were based around the following article written by Brian Edmiston. The article is taken from the UK Mantle […]

Two MOTE cluster meetings were held within two days in February! The secondary skype group held a very successful chat (despite some mild technical issues) in which ideas were shared about MOTE and NCEA assessment.

Thanks to Cordelia Huxtable for permission to reproduce her dissertation on Mantle of the Expert written in 2009.

2012 is off to a flying start. A number of teachers at primary and secondary are plotting great things in their classrooms for term 1 or term 2. The summer school paper in Tauranga is going really well, and a bunch of new teachers is coming through all enthused and ready to try the approach. […]
