Keynote: Rangatiratanga as Indigenising Practice for our Educational Institutions
Abstract: Tino Rangatiratanga speaks to Māori understandings and forms of authority and agency that function for the wellbeing of the collective. Rangatiratanga is multiform, contextual, responsive and relational. It doesn’t look one way or operate at one level. Rangatiratanga is not a thing, a fixed state or point of arrival. Rangatiratanga is a practice, a process, a way of being and thinking. As part of our indigenising efforts across numerous educational and institutional settings, expressions of rangatiratanga are already clearly at work. These are the pockets of Māori agency and innovation. These expressions are evidence of Māori logics and powers at work; of the mobilisation of mātauranga for the collective good. Leading every day, with these indigenous powers, is to indigenise our schools and our universities, for the benefit of all.

Keynote: The power of kōrero tuku iho for transforming learning: Whakapapa narratives, the Mana Model and Māori understandings of giftedness.
Abstract: Whakapapa narratives are powerful because they enable teachers and learners to understand the profound value of kōrero tuku iho for better understanding who they are and how they relate to others in the spaces they live and learn. In this presentation I challenge existing concepts of giftedness and use kōrero tuku iho to reframe what giftedness means. Using the Mana Model as a framework, I propose ways we might revise what giftedness is, how giftedness manifests, and what taitamariki need to realise their own giftedness.

Building Relationships with Marae, Hapū and Iwi
Abstract: At the core of iwi engagement is Whanaungatanga. Whanaungatanga is defined by Tātaiako as “actively engages in respectful working relationships with Māori learners, parents, and whānau, hapū, iwi and the Māori community”. The outcome for our kōrero is that you will have a clearer understanding of the prerequisites that kura should have when “actively engaging” with the Māori community.
