Micaela Ann Publications

I have been teaching in Year 0-6 classrooms in Auckland, New Zealand since 2011. Whilst I love all areas of teaching and learning in the junior classroom, I have always had an affinity and passion for literacy. Throughout my time in the classroom, I have also held the following positions: ​ - School Literacy Leader  - Community of Learners In-School Leader - Accelerated Learning in Literacy (ALL) Lead Teacher - Provisionally Registered Teacher and Associate Teacher Mentor ​

Creating teacher support material and student resources which align with current research and best practice is integral to the vision of Micaela Ann Publications. There is an abundance of academic research in the field of early literacy development, nationally and internationally, which requires engagement on the parts of teachers, schools, and educational leaders and policy makers in Aotearoa. This page presents a small introduction into this body of work (all freely available online), and have all been influential in the development of our MAPs resources.

Advanced Classroom Expertise Teacher Recognition (ACET) Masters in Education (First Class Honours)

I received my Masters of Education with First Class Honours from The University of Auckland. The title of my Masters Thesis is "Are New Zealand's literacy policies still relevant for the 21st Century?" This research related Aotearoa’s literacy policies to the burgeoning national and international theories and practices of ‘multiliteracies’ and ‘critical literacies’, and to the discourses of social equity and ‘new managerialism’.

Currently, I live in Auckland with my husband Adam and my rascally son Emerson. I divide my time between working on MAPs and working teaching in the classroom.
