What other professional communities intersect with or lie at the borders of your own profession?
Our local primary and secondary schools lie at the borders of my own professional community. They also intersect with a number of personal connections that already exists within my professional connections through whanau and students with siblings and family ties to the schools.
Agencies and local community boards such as Project PETER also influence and intersect within connections that I have. We have staff at our school that are heavily involved.
What impact do these communities have on your practice and professional community?
As a school we are continually developing stronger connections with our local primary schools in order to better serve and engage with the greater community. We are hoping that this will result in the growth of our school. Our involvement in the Ako Hiko Trust has enabled us to expand these relationships, and work collaboratively to provide learners and whanau with digital and innovative learning to empower our community.
What are or what would be the benefits of working in a more interdisciplinary environment?
The benefits of working in a more interdisciplinary environment are the scope and ability to pool resources, ideas and influence. So many viewpoints, backgrounds and experiences are able to be consulted and used to overcome barriers and challenges. Also being able to focus on collaboration and participate in finding solutions to the increasingly complex problems of education in our world today.
