Te Manawa Pou: free online Professional Learning and Development

Te Manawa Pou is a free online Professional Learning and Development [PLD] programme for te reo Māori teachers from English medium primary schools (Year 1-8). It is designed particularly (yet not exclusively) for teachers based in rural areas, or for teachers who may be the only teacher of te reo Māori in their school and thus may benefit from making connections with others.
Every aspect of Te Manawa Pou is focused on supporting individual teachers to:

• improve their te reo Māori proficiency
• improve their confidence in teaching and using te reo Māori
• enhance their quality teaching and learning of te reo Māori practices
• explore strategies to give every encouragement and opportunity for iwi and whānau to be involved in their children’s te reo Māori learning.

TKI – Teaching TeReo Maori

Seeing maori succeed educationally as Maori has become something of a focus for the MOE and schools alike.
With so much rhetoric about it, it is often difficult to unpack what that looks like for schools.

But to keep up-to-date with information and resources relevant to the teaching and learning of te reo Māori in English-medium schools TKI have provided a very useful resource entitled http://tereomaori.tki.org.nz/

As part of the MOE 2010 seminar series, Helena Baker tells the story of curriculum development at her kura, in particular the visioning of how elements of the curriculum align with the needs of whānau, students and the kura.



He Reo Tupu He Reo Ora 

Check out this fantastic new online multimedia resource for teaching and learning te reo Māori. The primary audience is students in years 1–6 learning at levels 1–2 of Te Aho Arataki Marau, the curriculum guidelines for te reo Māori. It contains eight units of work with complementary reomations (animations in te reo Māori) and videos on how the resource can be used and marae protocol.
