Te Kotahitanga Changes Conference 2010

Te Kotahitanga was a research and professional development programme that:

• supported teachers to improve Māori students' learning and achievement, enabling teachers to create a culturally responsive context for learning which is responsive to evidence of student performance and understandings.
• enabled school leaders, and the wider school community, to focus on changing school structures and organisations to more effectively support teachers in this endeavour.

Since 2008 Te Kotahitanga has provided a biennial conference for everyone interested in exploring the project further.

The 2010 Te Kotahitanga Changes Conference was attended by more than 200 Principals, teaching staff and whānau from both Te Kotahitanga and non-Te Kotahitanga schools. The conference, which was held over two days, had a total of 35 workshops that focused on schools’ journeys in the Te Kotahtianga project. It allowed schools and their communities the opportunity to critically reflect on their experiences in the project, share their learning and celebrate each others’ successes.
