Professional experience

Madeline has expertise in culturally responsive place-based local curriculum design and development, wellbeing and resilience practices in schools, ākonga centred kāiako inquiry, mentoring, and digital fluency and online teaching and learning. As a secondary education trained teacher, she has worked extensively in middle leadership and in innovative classroom, curriculum, inclusion, and pedagogical leadership.

Madeline supports leaders and teachers to work in professional learning groups to shift teaching practice and pedagogy, and redesign curriculum through inquiry. Her mentoring and coaching approach allows people to own the change process, while Madeline takes care of the change framework until schools are ready to sustain it themselves. Madeline’s experience is underpinned by her ability to think strategically, foster teaching inquiry practices, leverage positive, strengths-based approaches, and use theories to design approaches that will work.

Madeline has worked with VLN and NetNZ online learning communities, facilitated with Cognition Education, been an external NCEA marker, and developed NCEA internal assessment exemplars. She was a teacher-researcher for a collaborative TLRI project. Her Master of Arts Therapy research focused on the intersection between creativity in therapeutic and educational settings, exploring processes to promote agency and increase self-awareness.
