Woolf Fisher - Outreach Research Introduction

Woolf Fisher research information about The Manaiakalani Programme - Outreach 1 & 2

From 2015-2017, five clusters of schools, then from 2018-2020, ten clusters of schools around New Zealand, are working to accelerate student achievement using the affordances of digital learning environments. We engage education researchers from the Woolf Fisher Research Centre at the University of Auckland. They will be working with these clusters of schools to improve teaching and learning. The researchers will provide ongoing feedback to teachers and leaders to help us meet our achievement challenges in this way.

The research involves gathering data and observations to evaluate whether the programme is successful in improving outcomes in reading, writing, mathematics and other areas identified as of value by the schools. Parents, students, teachers, and school leaders will also have the opportunity to contribute perspectives to the research through surveys.

The research has been approved by the University of Auckland's Human Participant ethics committee.

Parent Feedback

"Dear Rachel, We ended up getting the video all sorted out, it just took us a bit of trial and error lol anyway I'd like to say how much fun [name removed] is having doing these blogs! He’s up to the activities about WW1 and he’s spent so much time today reading through the links provided and relaying facts he finds interesting and then even researching it further.. I think this is going to be his favourite activity so far. It's amazing how much he is learning. We started this journey to improve his writing skills over the holidays and I'm thrilled with his progress already! It's an awesome programme!"
