2019 Dashboard Features

Arinui Development Team • November 20, 2018

The 2019 Dashboard offers flexibility and refinement

We’ve taken your feedback on board and reworked the Key Reflective Processes. Educators now have choice in HOW they use Arinui to support their Teaching or Leading as Inquiry. Arinui can be used flexibly as educators make choices while leading their own appraisal process.


Updates to the Key Reflective Processes:


Guided Teaching as Inquiry

oWe’ve revamped the existing Teaching as Inquiry module to reduce repetition and prompt deeper reflection


Guided Leading as Inquiry

oWe’ve revamped the existing Leading as Inquiry module to reduce repetition and prompt deeper reflection


Semi-guided Teaching / Leading as Inquiry

oNEW: a module with more generalised prompts for inquiring into teaching or leadership practice. Excellent for those who are already confident with Teaching or Leading as Inquiry, or for inquiry contexts requiring less guidance


Upload Inquiry

oNEW: a place for educators to upload inquiries completed in other templates and map to the Standards for the Teaching Profession. Excellent for collaborative inquiry templates, including those used across Kāhui Ako

Analysing Student Progress

oWe have reworked and renamed the ‘Evidence of Student Learning’ module to strengthen the focus on the impact we have as educators on learners’


New text formatting functionality, intuitive sharing and submission and extended support options, make Arinui and the 2019 Dashboard more user-focussed and friendly.

Prompts - intuitive prompts for navigation and ease
