The ingoa Māori (Māori names) for some of these ways of being are potential portals into a different perspective on how we can support all ākonga in their transitions within our care\, and onto their next learning experiences. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				Click to book just this workshop $45.00\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Toitū Te WhārikiLynette TamarapaTumuaki\, Te Kōhanga Reo o Mana TamarikiWednesday 11 June\, 6:30-8:00pm \nIn a time where the Early Childhood education sector is being challenged by government regulation changes Toitū Te Whāriki is more relevant than ever. Te Whāriki MUST include Te Tiriti references\, join me in the conversation about how engagement with Māori as Mana Whenua benefits all cultures in an early learning environment\, the wider community and beyond.Understanding that through waiata (song)\, pūrakau (stories) and engagement with mana whenua (local peoples) Te Whāriki becomes a living and breathing bicultural curriculum document.Let’s choose what’s best for our education sector- Toitū Te Whāriki! \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				Click to book just this workshop $45.00\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Te Whakapakari i te Tūāpapa – Strengthening the FoundationLeanne ClaytonPouarahi ā-rohe\, Te Rūnanga Nui o ngā KKM o AotearoaWednesday 13 August\, 6:30-8:00pm \nIn this powerful and timely online wānanga\, we gather to reflect deeply on the foundations of our practice in early childhood education. Te Whāriki offers us a whāriki manaaki\, a nurturing mat woven with purpose and care\, for our tamariki to grow\, flourish\, and take flight. But for this sacred weaving to be strong\, the tūāpapa beneath it must be steady\, intentional\, and resilient. \nTe Whakapakari i te Tūāpapa invites kaiako\, leaders\, and learning communities across the motu to pause\, wānanga\, and ask:· What is the state of our foundation now\, post-Covid?· Where is it strong? Where might it need healing\, re-strengthening\, or even courageous re-structuring?· How do we return to the heart of our kaupapa with renewed clarity and purpose? \nTogether we will explore how the strands of Mana Atua\, Mana Whenua\, Mana Reo\, Mana Tangata\, and Mana Aotūroa\, when truly grounded in ngā hononga\, whānau tangata\, kotahitanga\, and whakamana\, create not only a strong foundation\, but a launchpad. From this base\, tamariki can soar (kia rere arorangi te tamaiti)\, confident\, competent\, and standing tall in the world as rangatira in their own right. \nThis is a space for honest reflection\, reconnection\, and recommitment. Whether your foundation is in need of strengthening\, mending\, or re-imagining\, this workshop will offer inspiration\, insight\, and collective wisdom to support you on the journey. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				Click to book just this workshop $45.00\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Te Ōhāki – Our TaongaRoskill South Kindergarten teaching teamWednesday 10 September\, 6:30-8:00pmThis workshop will explore our journey to create a taonga that celebrates the people\, places\, and things valued and cherished by our kindergarten whānau\, past and present.Our vision to create a Pou was a collaborative project involving tamariki\, whānau\, kaiako\, the community\, and local iwi. It has captured the stories\, wairua\, and aroha from the past 50 years of our kindergarten whānau and celebrates the uniqueness of our place.Te Ao Māori was the kaupapa that guided this process\, and our links with our local maunga and iwi were strengthened. Storytelling was key to the creation of our taonga\, and this process strengthened community engagement\, brought cultures together\, and produced an artefact that fosters a sense of belonging and enhances the mana of the past\, present\, and future community. We will share Learning Stories\, Whānau Stories and Collaborative Community Stories to share our magical journey to create our Pou – Te Ōhāki. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				Click to book just this workshop $45.00\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Weaving Stories of Place\, Identity and BelongingRoberta SkeochWednesday 8 October\, 6:30-8:00pmThis kōrero explores how early childhood kaiako use indigenous knowledge and traditional stories to foster a sense of identity\, belonging\, and inclusion for mokopuna\, in diverse learning environments. Grounded in Sociocultural Theory\, Māori theories of learning\, and narrative assessment\, the session highlights research findings showing how Māori stories enrich the curriculum\, strengthen cultural identity\, and enhance engagement—especially for Māori learners. Through discussion and reflection\, participants will consider how culturally responsive teaching practices can support all children to connect with their place\, language\, and heritage. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				Click to book just this workshop $45.00\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				He Haerenga Mātauranga: Embracing Our Journey in Te Reo Māori and Te WhārikiBridget ChapmanHead Teacher\, Northland Kindergarten AssociationWednesday 12 November\, 6:30-8:00pmTe Whāriki is grounded in a bicultural framework that honours the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. This kōrero invites kaiako to reflect on our shared haerenga ako\, our journey as learners and advocates of te reo Māori within the early childhood education context. Te Whāriki emphasises the importance of importance of identity\, language\, and culture\, affirming the unique heritage each mokopuna brings to their learning environment. As we walk this path together\, we acknowledge the wero (challenges) and embrace the opportunities that come with integrating te reo Māori into our everyday practice. \nOur commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi calls us to foster hononga (partnerships) that respect and uplift ngā tirohanga Māori (Māori perspectives)\, ensuring that te reo Māori and tikanga Māori are authentically and meaningfully woven into the fabric of our ako settings. By embracing a humble and aroha-based approach\, we create inclusive\, responsive environments where all tamariki feel seen\, valued\, and empowered. Join us as we explore practical strategies\, share experiences\, and deepen our understanding of how to honour our kawa\, our curriculum\, and our tino rangatiratanga as educators. Together\, we can continue to build a truly bicultural nation where the reo me ngā tikanga of every mokopuna are recognised and celebrated. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Book for the full series below for only $216.00!\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Please read our Terms and Conditions before purchasing.
