• 'I am' flyer – this is one-page info sheet about your child which is filled in by whānau and given to their teacher. It's helpful for kaiako to have individualised info that they can keep on file to refer to, which gives helpful tips about a child's specific strengths, challenges and tips on strategies that work for that individual – because the person that knows your child best is you!
It's an interactive Word document that you can type straight into. We've also included an example sheet that's already filled in.
