Ngā Kupenga Raupī a Tāwhaki - The nurturing nets of Tāwhaki

 I recently attended a two day workshop presented by Te Papa Tongarewa and Evaluation Associates | Te Huinga Kākākura Matauranga. We were learning to connect to placed-based and local history, to support and deepen our understanding of weaving ANZ histories through our curriculum. Here are my highlights:

  • M.A.T.E.S - Mutually Agreed Team Expectations;
  • Whakawhanaungatanga - making connections to where you stand. What is your turangawaewae?
  • Cultural native around our kura: "Cultural narratives can provide the big picture for schools committed to ongoing development as culturally responsive and culturally located spaces. They can guide schools' decisions about the culture and curriculum in the school, and shape their connections with the wider community."
  • Visual thinking Strategies: was a new experience for me. I found this image from Puke Ariki that may work with this strategy:

What's going on in this image?


Integrating as many bigs ideas from the ANZ Histories was a key message from day one of this workshop. We looked at the MOE resources that was sent to schools; ANZH curriculum, Aotearoa NZ histories Part 1 & 2 and the cards that helped to support my knowledge of Understand, Know and Do. I like that you can see progressions across the age levels. This is relevant at my kura because we have students from Year 0 to Year 13.
