In this spotlight session, Wharehoka will discuss collaboration within iwi and kura/school settings, and his on the ground experiences with Kāhui Ako and challenges us with this patai;
Are ‘schools’ culturally safe places? Are we talking past each other around expectations and what Māori success looks like? What changes do we all need to make?
Are you on a personal journey to empower Māori learners at your school? What good news stories are happening at your place? To join in this conversation, simply join edSpace, and the uLearn discussion group to post in this discussion below.
