ICOT

At the end of the summer holidays seven of us attended the ICOT (International Conference on Thinking) in Wellington. Wow! What a week of full on sessions, "ah-ah" moments, reflective thinking upon my own teaching practice and wonderful conversations between colleagues!

The seven of us have already had a de-brief session, with coffee and cake, and have begun planning the next three teacher meetings of term 1. We had great conversations about how the brain works, personality types and Ewan McIntosh's main points from his keynote (and that was only Day 1 of the conference). We are looking forward to meeting regularly to reflect on our learning from the conference and how we are going to filter through the rest of the staff back at school all our 'wonderings' and new ideas.
