Ruth thank you so much for the wealth of expertise and wisdom you have brought to this group during the DFI. I have greatly enjoyed reading your posts from afar. Your journey has inspired and challenged me, and yes, I have taken note of gentle suggestions that you have fed back through this and our other forums. We are a work in progress and share your commitment to what is best for our tamariki, our whānau AND our teachers.

We need our expert teachers to make sure that as the world becomes increasingly digital we do not lose sight of this. Now that the DFI has come to an end, please continue to reflect and nudge us. We value it.
