There are two required texts for the Aotearoa AP/DP programme. There is no particular time frame to read these in over the course of the programme.
Please select either Michael Fullan text as some may already have this text in their schools. It also provides good conversation between delegates, to discuss how Fullan’s ideas have changed over time.
Delegates may choose to engage with fellow participants online to discuss their thoughts on the required texts. This is optional but a good way to connect with fellow delegates, see others’ perspectives and understand how peers have implemented text ideas in their kura. Add your reflections in the comments section below.

Principal 2.0: Loved this. totally agree with the 6 Cs (character, citizenship, collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking) It’s something we’ve talked about at school. It is good to know about the results of the Covid survey, albeit an study in the States. Interesting to note how little standardised testing meant but not new about the equity gap of homes. in chapter 2 it’s interesting to note about the types of leaders that we have…and the pendulum swings from the promotion of Transformative (too vague) and Instructional leaders (too narrow); both not having sufficient impact. So we need to build the capacity of the Teacher. Much of this reading took me to Viviane Robinson’s book on leadership and i found myself reading this with ‘new eyes’ and more relevance. further on, SGO- Student Growth Objectives – being too odious. this SGO sounds great on paper, but doesn’t work in reality.
