Opportunities for Māori student success at Chisnallwood Intermediate School

This story relays how Chisnallwood staff and students worked together, as part of their school review, to implement the New Zealand Curriculum, so that it would make a difference for Māori students and help them to succeed.

Much of the discussion is about the importance of teaching and learning Māori language, which gives a sense of pride and helps foster student engagement across the curriculum.

In the video clip you'll hear teachers and students respond to some focus questions. There is a strong sense of teachers and students working alongside each other, building a learning community, aided by the professional development initiative Te Kauhua.
