Dive into the innovative world of education with the 2023 Mayfield Project Authentic Engagement Toolkit! Our dedicated group of Mayfielders crafted an extraordinary toolkit to promote justice, equity, diversity and inclusion (JEDI) in learning environments.

The mission: Empower learners to genuinely connect with their communities through authentic listening; explore unique learning experiences and foster relationships without adding extra burden on educators or school leadership.

Using the toolkit, you will discover how to:

  • Listen authentically to community values, desires and requirements
  • Develop unit plans or modules within the academic year
  • Gain a deeper understanding of your community’s uniqueness and needs
  • Conduct interviews and present findings to your own neighbourhood

The toolkit is flexible and adaptable for all ages and stages of learners

  • Unit plans have been created for both the New Zealand and Australian curriculums in mind
  • Supporting planning documentation is available to assist in using these cards as part of your regular school class
  • Tools can be used at any time – connect with your neighborhood, kickstart a design project, or assess your school’s infrastructure’s alignment with community needs

Teachers, you have the power to define and tweak unit plans for your learners’ needs! There are 2 sets of cards – Learning Experiences and Interview Questions, ensuring effective community understanding.
