Abstract
This chapter will report on the findings of a Professional Development and Research Contract funded by the Ministry of Education (MOE) in New Zealand which ran between June 2005 and June 2007. The project was mainly organised through running workshops and providing schools with access to facilitators over a two year period. There were four workshops in each of the three regions Auckland, Taranaki and Manawatu. Data was collected from the participants at all the workshops.
