Curriculum storytelling for gold standard field trips
I'll help you recognise and uncover the existing opportunities for New Zealand Curriculum learning in your offering. I can support you with maximising curriculum connections, making tweaks to ensure teachers and schools utilise your site as a valuable learning experience.
Teachers are always on the lookout for excellent field trip opportunities. Let's make visiting your site an easy choice!
## What I can do for you
I work with businesses on a case by case basis, tailoring what I do to best meet your needs. Every location is different; I'll meet you where you're at. Depending on your needs, you might engage me to:
**Review and refine your existing offering:**
- Make curriculum connections clear and obvious to teachers and schools, naming specific curriculum objectives
- Dial in existing field trip offerings to make them more curriculum relevant and/or easier to run
**Craft communications for schools:**
- Information packs to send to schools with curriculum links made clear
- Curriculum focused run down of what you're offering and why you're a brilliant field trip choice
## Novel learning design
**Writing exclusive field trip programmes:**
- Writing exclusive field trip programmes which are aligned with and driven by the current New Zealand Curriculum
- Full, clear scaffolding for existing staff to run
- Video conference or on site training for running field trip programmes is available
**Expand your offering:**
- Online programmes, making your context available to schools and learners outside your area
- In-school learning modules which build onto your on-site offering, either provoking excitement before students arrive or consolidating learning after a visit
## My background
I am a New Zealand trained teacher. I've taught all ages from Years 0-8, and also worked in senior leadership roles. Read: I've organised many field trips!
I am a curriculum specialist. I have spent my teaching career and beyond delving into all areas of the curriculum and planning learning experiences for them which excite and engage students of all ages, as well as developing teachers' confidence with teaching across the curriculum. Most recently, my role has been to parse the new New Zealand Curriculum documents to make them accessible to students, and more straightforward to cover and teach.
## Why I do what I do
I am passionate about authentic learning, because I've seen what it can do for students. I want to make as many valuable and authentic experiences as possible available to the students of Aotearoa.
I have a knack for drawing out the parts of an experience that will best appeal to children while fulfilling their learning goals.
