Sonya Van Schaijik
The vision
A connected education sector

National & global networks to
Inform schooling designed around students’ needs and strengths.
Events I coordinated for Connected Educator Month
TeachMeetNZ October
TeachMeetNZ is about New Zealand teachers connecting online. The project reflects the research and work of New Zealand educators in action. These live events are convened across all education sectors.
TeachMeetNZ meet TMSydney
Two TeachMeet teams came together virtually Trans Tasman and collaborated and worked together to share their learning. Each educator has slides and a short video that the audience can rewind.
EdBookNZ
Each educator took one current education term and wrote the irrelevance of it in a blog post.
Events I took part in
CEM NZ Showcase – Tasters Session
I presented on the VLN with several other NZ educators as part of the introduction to CEM.
Connected Educator Presentation ULearn14
Dr Wendy Kofoed and I presented together at ULearn. Our topic was: Before collaboration teachers need to make connections.
SpringBoard Trust
I ran a workshop for principals on using digital tools.
Flat Connections Global Educator
I joined the Flat Connections Global Educator Course and am working with four educators and am learning how to effectively connect, communicate, collaborate and co-create across classrooms.
