“Explicitly model concise and consistent language so that learning is maximised.” My learning environment is about maximising learners potential through the use of: mastery (move forward at one's own pace as they master knowledge/skills), vicarious experiences (gain self-confidence while watching others successfully performing), social persuasion (intentional encouragement to adopt an attitude of success and emotional intelligence (ability to control one’s emotions and that of others).

THANK YOU
To all my colleagues and students (both past and present) over the last 30+ years of teaching, I would like to THANK YOU for helping me live my passion on a daily basis. I was recently awarded the Teaching Excellence award at Manukau Institute of Technology and could not have done it without you. Special mention must be made to Tamaki College and Manaiakalani for being a leading light in education and to Manukau Institue of Technology for giving me permission to do things my way aka the DUNN Way.
My application highlighted my use of rewindable learning resources in the form of short, teacher-created screencast videos which learners could watch repeatedly and at any time as opposed to being solely reliant on my physical presence if they needed help. If you would like to watch the video which was used as part of my application, please feel free to click on this link...... and THANK YOU, once again
