Authentically Te Whāriki – Rotorua
July 21, 2023 @ 4:00 pm - July 22, 2023 @ 12:00 pm
Taheke (Opatia) Marae, Okere Falls.
Te Whāriki envisages that all children grow up strong in their identity, language and culture. It emphasises our bicultural foundation and multi-cultural present. This professional development offers kaiako the opportunity to explore te ao Māori in a deep and meaningful way using the traditional practice of wānanga. This marae wānanga is supported by an online Zoom session to foster an authentic connection to te ao Māori that will support you as a tiriti based/bicultural practitioner.
Join us for a talk, share, eat, laugh, explore. A feast for the mind! (and the puku, because the marae always has a good kai!!)
This programme will enable you to:
- Develop the confidence and knowledge to participate in and contribute to marae life
- Understand the function of pepeha and develop your own
- Develop an understanding of Tiriti based practice and what that means for ECE kaiako
- Explore how you can use traditional Māori stories to develop a strong local curriculum
- Learn some useful Māori songs and games that you can use in your setting.
A fabulous opportunity for those who have come from other lands to strengthen your understanding of the foundations of our curriculum – Te Whāriki!
