Notes:
- powhiri- he tamariki, he tamariki, hetamriki (Chris)
- understanding tikanga versus learning te reo
- taunga of a name- every name has a story
- team building exercise- creating a song that relfects the experience of tangata whenua and the taking of their land
- student achievement versus whanau engagement
What was the highlight?
- making connections with my colleagues and learning more about their history, whakapapa and identity
- unity as a staff
- learning about good tikanga- transferring this back to our school and classroom
What aspect caused you the most diffilculty?
- having to be brutally honest with others and myself
- watching colleagues and friends express some very uncomfortable and painful stories
Was there any aspect that suprised you?
-
Which aspects could you include in your own practice based on your learning experience?
- to develop an open classroom practice where parents/whanau are free to come inside and wait for their children, read to their children, write with their children, learn with their children
- to build a mana of tikanaga in the classroom e.g introducing waiata, karakia, pepeha and rakau games
