Case Studies

“While numeracy was the study barrier Carl faced (his hands-on abilities were competent), he actually gained much more than finding strategies to deal with the problem. He became visibly happier. He conversed more, he expressed his thoughts more openly without feeling ‘stupid’, his self-esteem soared with every milestone achievement and he felt reinforced as a person with the tangible rewards of his successful graduation and future employment.”

"This has opened my eyes to teaching"
You don’t have to be with James, Philip and Carolyn for very long to feel their energy for what is being achieved with literacy and numeracy at Waiariki Institute of Technology.
James (at left) a carpentry tutor (Level 3 & 4) based at the Tokoroa campus is new to tertiary education and training.
“I want to be a better teacher and this has been a total transformation for me”, he says about the literacy and numeracy professional development and support from Carolyn Bourke, Co-ordinator for Embedding.
Now James says he is much more aware of his relationship with the students, their literacy and numeracy needs and is even more alert to the impact of the changes he has made in his own delivery.
