Released this week by the Ministry of Education, Rongohia te Hau Learning from Māori Expertise comes off the back of calls that progress towards a culturally responsive education for Māori in education has been too slow or not delivered.
The new best evidence feature identifies critical success factors that enable transformative change across academic achievement, wellbeing and sense of belonging.
The feature highlights evidence about the need for system change; includes evidence of what does and does not work when evaluated by effects on Māori ākonga; and illustrates perspectives of ākonga: ‘It’s like the opposite of racism in this school’ and ‘Ko tātou ngā rangatira āpōpō’.
The Rongohia te Hau includes a presentation by Director of Poutama Pounamu, Professor Mere Berryman and a message to educators about taking a Tiriti o Waitangi partnership approach to transformative education that benefits Māori and non-Māori.
It brings the evidence to life through seven videos in the online feature that explain the early learning journey of Te Kāhui Ako o Te Puke and Bethlehem College Chapman working with Poutama Pounamu experts to use Rongohia te Hau.
Three school principals who have won the Prime Minister’s Educational Excellence Awards also appear in the videos to explain the changes. The feature provides Find out more sections that include references to the underpinning evidence.
