Innovative solutions can stem from a pool of shared meaning.
Foster this by exchanging experiences and stories with whānau and having genuine respect.
Prior to developing a plan with whānau, consider:
- protocols – creating space and time for karakia, mihimihi, and opportunities to make connections with whānau
- sharing why developing a plan is important and inviting whānau to be a part
- the approach that will promote meaningful discussion and mutual decision making
- building on what is working for the learner
- the resources that will support the learner and their whānau
- what to do when challenges arise and how might they be addressed
- how you can genuinely support the learner and their whānau in the plan.
