  • Extensive knowledge and understanding of education contexts at a practical level.
  • Strong diplomacy, interpersonal and facilitation skills, with an ability to adapt to different interaction styles and contexts.
  • Skills in leading and motivating others, with the ability to challenge, facilitate, supervise, and coach kaiako and teachers to build capability, and where necessary, change.
