PLD
The Digital Technology Curriculum PLD now falls under the Digital Fluency umbrella. Applications are always open  but need to be in by February 25th  for a Term 3  2022 start. If you need  free help with an application you can contact me  (Jan-Marie Kellow) or Stephen Ross. Digital Fluency is one of the new priorities and applications can combine priority areas. Find out how you can get free PLD to support your 2022 areas of focus.
Visit this webpage to download a Word version of the application so you can prepare a draft application ready to submit to the new online PLD application site.
 ​ More information here.

Need help with Hybrid learning? You can apply for free support form the MoE. There are 8 - 25 hours of PLD available to be used in the next 3 months.  Support is online and targeted at your specific needs. Contact your regional office PLD team to apply. Once you have hours you can contact us to arrange a facilitator to support you. 
We have several facilitators on the MoE approved list for delivering PLD on the new Technologies curriculum content.  If you need help filling out an application  contact me or the Te Whai Toi Tangata/I.P.L. Digital Fluencies & Technologies team.
You can apply for more than one focus to your PLD eg  Digital Fluency and School Curriculum Make a copy of this form to help you formulate your answers before submitting in the new online system.  
So If you are wanting tailored PLD on the new Digital Technologies areas, digital fluency, inquiry (student and/or teacher), literacy, assessment, developing your local curriculum or a combination, contact me.
