Thanks to the valued input from respected colleagues and educators (their feedback below might engage you in wanting to read the report ), I have now completed the report and have been encouraged to share this with a wider audience. The Whitestone Learning and Change Network will support my presentation to other South Island networks at the Regional Networking Day in Christchurch on Thursday 5th June.
You can access a copy of the report by clicking on the title link here How do we engage every student in deep learning for success?
My next challenge is to learn to prepare an engaging video version to share with our community and I am open to any ideas or suggestions. Being open to learning laterally and collaboratively, from the 'expertise in the crowd' (Price page 27 Open: How We'll work, live and learn in the future) is empowering.

How do we engage every student in deep learning for success?
Read feedback about this report from respected educators:
‘I loved reading
this report for a number of reasons - the main one being that you represent an
important practitioner-voice in articulating what learning and change networks
are all about…. Many folk are still waiting to be supported into the future -
you're just getting on with it, like many students are - our most important
challenge is manufacturing future-focused learning environments for kids that
are constrained to just get on with new ways of learning. You've grasped
and articulated in your report ways of addressing that challenge. Well
done Jenny. I'd also recommend you submit your report in article-style to
SET for publication.’
Dr Brian Annan,
Director
Research and Development, Faculty of Education, The University of Auckland
‘Many thanks for sharing this Jenny. You have produced such a powerful
document which has the capacity to change things! Key strengths for me
are the composure and clarity of the writing: succinct and questioning. I
will attempt to pare my writing down similarly in the future....’

Matthew Moss High School, Rochdale, United Kingdom
‘Once I started to read this paper I couldn't
stop. My coffee went cold! You have done an amazing job of describing deep
learning and the infinite, current and future possibilities for all students.
Your personal experience provided excellent examples of the points you were
making…. The story as it is, is gripping and immediately useful for teachers,
students, families and communities. Sounds as if your network has fully
embraced the essence of LCN. Please publish this so that it is shared with
others. All the best with the next venture.’
Dr Jean Annan,
Strategy Development Advisor, Learning and Change Networks, Faculty of Education, University of Auckland
‘Please consider publishing the
report as it has the potential to help shape thinking around engagement and the
Innovative Learning Environment direction education needs to move.
I would like your permission to
send the report to some of my MOE colleagues who are grappling with
‘networking’ and future thinking as I believe it will help shape their thinking
on a policy level.’

‘Firstly
I have to say I was engaged with your paper right till the end!!!... I
have read many sabbatical reports and I was really engaged in this one and the
way you are learning and changing in your own practices. Have you
thought about presenting this to a wide audience?
