MAC Leaders Day 17 June 2016

MAC Leaders Day with Hoana and Ros 

Whakawhanautanga - strengthening relationships.



What is the purpose of education for Māori?


  • Using NZ and Maori contexts in everyday learning.  
  • Maori contexts in learning.
  • Being able to walk with confidence as a Maori and experience success as a Maori.
  • Language, culture and identity.
  • Manaakitanga  - mana enhancing and lifting.
  • Doing things differently to enhance the mana of our Maori students.   
  • Education that enhances what it means to be Maori.
  • How could we develop a Bicultural curriculum across Hereora?
  • Find our copies of Te Takanga o te Wā (Maori 

  • History)
  • Maximising cultural capital for these students.
  • To enable our Maori children to stand strongly and contribute to both their worlds, and the global world as Māori.
  • AKO - owning the learning, modeling as teachers who are BOLD, make mistakes and learn together.
Use the rubric together with the staff to measure where we are at at present in our school.   Do this before the first week of next term (Ros will visit Breens).

How can I tell the story about where we are at here at Breens and where we have been so far?  Where to next?

AI.  Teaching young people to think critically to edit, and craft using AI.    Clever prompts and crafting/editing. Eric Schmit - CEO of Google (10 years). The greatest challenge I faced was our success.   When you have nothing to lose, you go at everything.  The more successful we became, the more we have to lose, the more protective we became. VISION Remind your people that they are brilliant and galvanise around our vision.
