Experiences in Te Kotahitanga

Te Kotahitanga is a research and professional development programme that:

• supports 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.
• enables school leaders, and the wider school community, to focus on changing school structures and organisations to more effectively support teachers in this endeavour.
