Community of Practice #5
I orea te tuatara ka puta ki waho A problem is solved by continuing to find solutions This whakatauki has a literal meaning of using a spear to probe a tuatara from its hole – this imagery reminds us of the importance of being persistent and creative in the journey of success! In our latest Community of Practice session we spent some time reframing our work - moving from a Mātai Rangi (big picture) perspective, to a Mātai Nuku (personal) perspective. We took time to listen to student voice - Ngā Huatau Taiohi and asked ourselves the following questions, which you may also like to reflect on:
We then took time to dig deeply into an excellent article from Education Hub: Seven Principles to effectively support Māori students as Māori. In our response to this article we worked with a critical friend to refine our actions - what will we do in our classroom to make a positive difference for our Māori students? It is encouraging to see the bravery and honesty of the participants in our session - and their willingness to go deeper for the sake of their students. Ngā mihi maioha koutou!
