Te Mana Kōrero
Te Mana Kōrero is a series of three professional development packages and facilitated workshops.
These professional development packages draw on the evidence that show what is working for Māori students, from programmes such as Te Kotahitanga and Te Kauhua.
Each of these successful professional development programmes is based on important Māori concepts or principles:
- ako – effective and reciprocal teaching and learning relationships where everyone is a learner and a teacher
- manaakitanga – the care for students as culturally located people above all else
- mana motuhake – the care by teachers for the academic success and performance of their students
- whakawhanaungatanga – the nurturing of mutually respectful and collaborative relationships between all parties around student learning.
The content and video resources you will find on these pages are taken from Te Mana Kōrero Online, developed to help school leaders and teachers address and meet the goals of Ka Hikitia: Managing for Success: The Māori Education Strategy 2008–2012 (Ministry of Education, 2008-2009).
