SUMMARY:ZOOM session: Leading out of White Spaces with Ann Milne
DESCRIPTION:In the last two years\, Covid-19 has forced us to approach our teaching differently and we have been confronted by the disparities that are the reality for many of our learners. As we\, once again\, return to our schools\, what did we learn and what have we changed? As you planned with your staff for this year\, does 2022 look like business-as-usual or even\, with contingencies in place for keeping children safe\, a tweaked version of that familiar ‘normal’? The truth is that Māori\, and the other students we minoritise never have been\, and never will be\, safe in that normal. For these young people it’s “distance” learning all the time\, whether the lessons are coming via an app on a laptop\, or Mum’s phone\, or directly from the teacher standing in front of you\, it’s all disconnected. \nWhen our ‘normal’ Western\, whitestream model of schooling is the problem\, school leaders have both the responsibility\, and the unique opportunity to lead us away from this practice. But how much change are we really prepared to make? Why is better literacy\, numeracy\, or NCEA scores simply not good enough? Why don’t our one-off days or weeks\, the te reo Māori labels\, the murals or carvings dotted around our schools\, or our kapa haka ‘improve’ our achievement levels? How does a critically conscious\, culturally sustaining curriculum really make a difference and how do you embed this practice in your leadership and your school? \nBio \nDr Ann Milne \nDr Ann Milne is a Pākehā educator\, writer\, researcher\, and former school principal whose work challenges the whiteness of our education system and focuses on a critically conscious\, culturally sustaining learning approach centred on students’ cultural identities. Her book\, Colouring in the White Spaces: Reclaiming Cultural Identity in Whitestream Schools\, was published in 2016 and her services to education were recognised in 2020 when she was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit. After retiring from her principal’s role five years ago\, she established Ann Milne Education and Ann Milne Online to share her long leadership experience in this area with schools and institutions who want to think differently about their practice.
