Resource Centre team Inquiry

Our Taranaki Team Inquiry focus this year was to engage in ongoing professional development delivered by the NAS team to support our growth when working alongside complex needs ākonga, their whānau and the ākonga team.  

 This professional development included individual mentoring, regular team zoom meetings, and a visit to Taranaki from the NAS team to support us with our observation and assessment skills. 

Our professional development will continue into 2023, when the NAS team will visit Taranaki in March to undertake full assessments specifically for our complex needs ākonga.
