Transdisciplinary learning 16/11
Yesterday we did a session on transdisciplinary learning which really challenged peoples thinking. It was well structured and brought people through on a journey.
It was really interesting to see at the end of the session where our heads were as a hapori, and interesting to hear people's viewpoints.
I was really excited about the idea of learning that came out in our discussion, especially from Clark who was saying that every project needed a purpose, and a direction to make it really engaging.
I was a little alarmed by Juanita who asked the question "Can we actually do transdisciplinary learning with really poor kids?" and I want to catch up with her at some point and ask her "I'm interested what you said about transdisciplinary learning and poor kids, can you tell me more about that?"
I was also a little concerned about Justine as she refused to reflect both in the Hapori reflection session and at the end of the day. Helen and Paul both came to me and asked about her, I want to catch up with her and make sure she is ok.

I haven't caught the detail of that session with Karyn yet, Jono but i understood it was deliberately provocative. Your comfort in that space is a great model for others and somehow helping them have the same comfort is a real challenge. Good on you for following up on those observations with your hapori and I congratulate you on the use of language and approach. Happy to chat about any of that if you need.
