Here’s a cute video from Holy island school in Scotland, where teachers have been using Mantle of the Expert for some years.
Sound quality is a bit mixed, but it gives some good explanations of MOTE and I love the way the children talk about how much they love this way of learning.

Lovely gathering at Maungatapu on Friday night. Among other things our korero touched on the way MOTE pedagogy sits alongside Maori educational priorities. Fascinating stuff. Thanks for having us, folks…. Next BOP cluster will be 1st November at Tauranga Waldorf School.
Just a reminder that Viv is coming over on Friday 23rd August (Maungatapu Primary School from 4.30pm for a 5pm start) – she is bringing her experiences from the MOTE conference in UK and sharing some insights into Commisssion Letters.
I look forward to seeing as many as possible there – don’t forget some light snacks for the table!
Cheers
Jon.

Looking forward to seeing whoever can make it to tomorrow’s Hamilton cluster meeting at 4.30pm at Knighton School.
And, for those available a little earlier at 3pm, there’s the chance to hear Gaenor Stoate presenting on her recent Master’s research. Gaenor’s study involved using Mantle of the Expert to teach devising at level 2 NCEA. The presentation is in Meeting rooms A-B, at the Faculty of Education, University of Waikato. Just turn up if you are interested.

In my report from the Heathcote conference I mentioned the digital rolling role project that had been trialled by teachers from a range of countries.
Of particular interest to secondary colleagues, this project is an exciting example of how online spaces can be used for drama collaboration. Sue Davis has now kindly shared her slides on slideshare. Well worth a look.

Once you are on the page, you can even subscribe to the blog to get updates in your email… Last year’s blog had 2000+ views – which is a very scary thought but does show that this is a good way to share our work…. Perhaps YOU could think about doing a blog too (and if you have not already checked out Priya’s wonderful blog – there’s a link from the mantle website).

Earlier today you will have received an email about the next Tauranga / Bay of Plenty cluster meeting.
Here’s one confirming details of the next Hamilton meeting, which is even sooner- 1st August.
Our hosts will be the enthusiastic bunch at Knighton Normal School and the session will be 1 August 1st: 4:30pm – 5:30pm
Viv will share reflections on the “Heathcote Reconsidered” conference and we will have a go at crafting a commission letter – as a way to consider language, task boundaries and ‘givens’ in MOTE planning.
Bring a plate of nibbles – and a friend… All welcome – from first timers to old hands!
