This course examines the bicultural partnership between Tangata Whenua and the Crown forged through Te Tiriti o Waitangi and what this means for its multicultural education settings.

Ākonga will reflect on their personal journey with te reo Māori, and their professional commitment as bicultural, bilingual and biliterate kaiako focused on supporting Māori ākonga achieving educational success as Māori in early learning and school settings.

  • Evaluate their competency in te reo Māori me ōna tikanga and plan for continuing to develop te reo Māori knowledge and skills for everyday use, particularly teaching.
