Institute of Professional Learning

Welcome to the Institute of Professional Learning, located at 142 Durham Street in Tauranga, New Zealand. As an establishment, point of interest, and school, our institution is dedicated to providing high-quality professional learning opportunities for educators and learners alike.

At the Te Whai Toi Tangata Institute of Professional Learning, we are proud to be affiliated with the University of Waikato and have a rich history of delivering exceptional educational experiences across New Zealand. Our focus is on working with educational leaders, teachers, and Kāhui Ako to enhance their knowledge and practice.

With a team of skilled facilitators who specialize in various areas of expertise, we are able to create a comprehensive and responsive plan tailored to your specific needs. Our approach is guided by Te Tiriti o Waitangi and a set of core beliefs that shape our work.

We offer a diverse range of professional learning opportunities for educators who are passionate about making a difference and want to further their own education. Whether you are interested in MoE regionally allocated or self-funded PLD, we are here to support you in your professional learning journey.

Our workshops are typically conducted face-to-face, allowing for personal interaction and engagement. However, we also offer online series for those who prefer remote learning options. Our accredited facilitators are committed to working collaboratively with leaders and teachers to co-construct the professional learning and development based on identified strengths and needs.

Furthermore, our facilitators are well-versed in assisting you with the application process for regionally allocated PLD that aligns with the Ministry of Education's PLD Priorities, whether you are in an English or Maori Medium setting.

Join us at the Institute of Professional Learning and embark on a transformative educational journey. Together, we can empower educators, enhance learning, and make a lasting impact in the field of education.
