Waananga 1: Looking back to look forward – what does this really mean?

Thursday 25 February, 6:00pm-8:00pm

He Rangi tā matawhaiti, he Rangi tā matawhānui  |  A person with a narrow vision has a restricted view, a person with a wider vision has a much greater view

Everyone is welcome to come and join us in this ongoing kōrero about our education system through a te ao Māori lens. Stories will be shared about the whakapapa/ historical journey of the education system and how those narratives still have so much much relevance in how we view education in the 21st century and in our role as kaiako in ECE services. 

Waananga 2: Inspiration and ideas on how to competently deliver a bicultural curriculum

Thursday 25 March, 6:00pm-8:00pm

Everyone is welcome to come and join us in this ongoing korero about our ECE curriculum, Te Whaariki. We will waananga/ deliberate and discuss the notions of Te Whaariki as a bicultural document. We will korero about some of the challenges and milestones that exist in ECE and share ways that we can collaborate as active agents of change through brave and courageous conversation. Ko te kai a te rangatira he kōrero. The food of chiefs is dialogue. Let us create space for brave dialogue and be these agents of change.

Waananga 3: Kaupapa Māori Theory, what does this look like in practice? 

Thursday 22 April, 6:00pm-8:00pm

Everyone is welcome to come and join us in a waananga/ deliberation and sharing of ideas of the concept of kaupapa Māori – theory and practice. What does kaupapa Māori mean in an education context? Why is it important? How can I use kaupapa Māori ways of teaching and learning, being and doing, to strengthen my bicultural practice? Explore how kaupapa Māori theory can fit in to all aspects of our role as a kaiako in ECE.
