From Manaiakalani, 2018:
"The School Leaders' Professional Learning Group is designed for the Leaders in each school to come together and share strategies and direction as we engage with The Manaiakalani Programme pedagogy and kaupapa.
This is the person (people) who leads the implementation, direction and embedding of Manaiakalani in your school. This person may be your curriculum leader, heads of departments or a member of the SMT. It is not your IT leader. Most schools may have more than one attend."
