Building Tiriti-Centric Learning and Teaching Practices.

Ki te kotahi te kākaho, ka whati; Ki te kāpuia, e kore e whati.

When we stand alone we are vulnerable, but together we are unbreakable.

PHIL GORDON (Ngāti Maru)

Abstract: As Educationalists how do we create an understanding of what it means to be a successful Treaty Partner through a bi-cultural framework? Looking at how this can be enacted within our multicultural environments and how we can connect expectations in this space to our Registered Teacher Criteria (RTC’s).

A practical example of how Tiriti-Centric thinking can be manifested into a gradate profile will be shared by Vikki Rihari of Birdwood School.

1:30PM - 2:30PM

Oho Mauri -  Mauri tū mauri ora, mauri tau

Kia taurite te rite, kia tupu te mauri.  

Ki tōku whare tapu.

That stability and poise may grow the force of life within my soul.

SCOTT WALDEN, HOANA PEARSON QSM, DAMON RITAI, WAYNE LUNJEVICH, TEENA JOHNSON

Abstract: Having the strength to uphold the kaupapa, and to keep it alive!

A facilitated conversation with members of our MAC facilitation team, joined by Te Pitau Mātauranga Hoana Pearson QSM, will begin by unpacking the meaning of Mauri before discussing the responsibility of keeping this well and alive in our kura so all of our tamariki can thrive.  

Strategies to grow, implement and ensure sustainability of your new learning will be shared, relating back to the MAC framework Te Whare Tapu o te Ngākau Māori.

Graduate Profiles & Definitions of Success

KIM NIKORA (Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngati Kahungunu ki Wairoa, Ngati Ruapani)

GEORGE IHIMAERA (Te Rarawa, Nga Puhi)

Abstract: “Māori enjoying and achieving educational success as Māori” is a powerful kaupapa that can both demand and generate transformation. Even though its inception sat within the 2008 Ka Hikitia - Ka Hapaitia strategy, more than a decade ago, a collective clarity on what this entails, may not yet have been realised. Join us to explore definitions of success, to consider knowledge, skills and attributes that are or can be prioritised through the conceptual thinking that is “Graduate Profiles”. This breakout session will align Te Whare Tapu o te Ngākau Māori framework to this kaupapa and engage participants in a huarahi ako of dialogue and discussion.

Te Mauri o te Whare:  Te Reo me ōna tikanga. 

Level 4B and Beyond.

ANARU MORGAN (Kāi Tahu, Kāti Mamoe, Waitaha, Kāi Tūāhuriri)

MERALYN TE HIRA-LUNJEVICH (Nga Puhi, Ngā Puhi ki Whangaroa, Te Rarawa, Ngāti Hine, Ngāti Maniapoto)

WAYNE LUNJEVICH (Nga Puhi, Te Rarawa, Ngai Takoto)

Abstract: By utilising a journey through Te Whare Tapu o te Ngākau Māori we will fill participants kete with mātauranga o te reo me ōnā tikanga.

We will revise and review tools to grow Te Reo based in tikanga from the tomokanga, through challenges on the marae atea, continuing to the mahau of the whare. 

From the mahau and the establishment of level 4B, beginning at ngākau kaitiaki, we will explore further additions to grow beyond level 4B to higher levels of Te Reo Māori proficiency.

Ko te mauri o te whare!
