Regional Days in 2013 took place at the end of Term 3. This was an opportunity for all Resource Teachers: Vision, in the three regions – North, Central and South, to come together to share and engage in some of the initiatives that are being undertaken from the Annual Plan.
BLENNZ Curriculum
The latest draft of the BLENNZ Curriculum was presented and staff engaged with this valuable document. This document has been worked on at regional days and other BLENNZ consultation opportunities over the last 4 years and continues to grow and develop.
This was the first opportunity for the regional teams to see it drawn together and to gain an understanding of it as a single document.
Developmental Orientation and Mobility (DOM)
The development of the BLENNZ DOM service was a major component of his round of regional days. The teams were taken through new DOM service content and systems and gained a greater understanding of what the recently developed service will look like for our BLENNZ learners and staff. The following aspects of the service were covered:
- The DOM staff and regions they cover
- The processes and systems undertaken to access the DOM service
- Environmental audits for students transitioning to new learning environments
- The DOM curriculum and role release opportunities
- Professional development options
- A practical hands-on session on guiding, maps and motor play
