Hear from the 2007 Linking Minds Recipients - Melinda Bennett, Tom Haig, Karen Stimson and Greg Thornton - at the 2007 Linking Minds function, that will be held at Turnbull House, Wellington.
Linking Minds is a pretigious international award for young teachers sponsored by the British Council, the NZ-UK Link Foundation, Ministry of Education and NZ Teachers Council. The award focus is on professional leadership and aims to promote high teaching standards by providing international experience for teachers early in their careers. The 2007 award funded four teachers to spend two weeks over the September holiday period attached to the South Gloucestership Local Education Authority in the UK. Their programme provided opportunities to gain ideas, skills and confidence to develop leadership capacity for the teachers as individuals and for their schools.
