Its back to ‘normal’ after 4 months on study leave and the
annual Xmas / New Year break.
2020 promises to be an interesting year, with all
of the NZ ITPs being brought together into one entity from the 1stof April. Details of the general workings of the new institute are still hazy
but one certainty is that there will be changes, all with major and minor
consequences on my work into the foreseeable future.
For the moment, I will pick up ‘new’ projects as they begin
to accumulate on our work register. The projects I handed across to my colleagues
when I embarked on study leave last year, are now either complete or
progressing well. Therefore, best to make a fresh start with programme
development and other support projects.
I have submitted an abstract for the annual AVETRA conference,to be held in Melbourne at the end of April. No other conferences planned for
the moment accept for the end of year Talking Teaching conference convened by
the Ako Aotearoa Academy.
There are now articles to be honed for submission to various
journals and networking across the ITP sector to gauge the likelihood for joint
research projects in the VET space. The plan will be to scope up a worthy
approach and direction for submission in the 2021 year. By then, some of the
details with regards to my educational development work and possibilities for
VET research will be better known.
