Kia ora everyone,

There’s been plenty happening at Learning Architects HQ since our last community update and I’m pleased to tell you that it’s all good!
Following on from our MoE PLD Providers Accreditation, we have expanded our team and have 8 facilitators providing customised PLD across NZ.
We have also expanded the team that support this community, and it is my pleasure to introduce you to Wanda Kingma.
Wanda will managing the community, ensuring our systems enable you to learn new skills and solve your IT related problems quickly. She will also be helping me and members of the PLD team to develop new content and online courses for you.
Over the coming months, she will make sure you will:
- Receive monthly updates of new content, resources and handy tips. At times you will receive specific updates based on your particular role. You can expect tips designed to help you in your particular role.
