The ‘Winds of Change’ have blown strongly in Aotearoa over recent years, affecting our lives, our learners, and our teaching practices. We have negotiated COVID, discovered new communication technologies, and been immersed in changes to curriculum and approaches to literacy instruction.

While change can involve disruption and challenge, it is also a catalyst for innovation, experimentation, reflection, and growth.

We invite you to join us at our ‘Winds of Change’ symposium for two days of celebration, creativity, inspiration, and innovation. Explore the impact of change on our literacy practices. Seize the opportunity to hear motivating expert keynote speakers and workshop presenters and to connect with colleagues old and new.

Get ready for an inspiring and transformative experience at the NZLA Symposium, “Winds of Change”!
