Publisher's Synopsis
Ki te hoe! Education for Aotearoa addresses one of the most pressing questions for educators in Aotearoa New Zealand-how to enact te Tiriti o Waitangi and equitably privilege matauranga, kaupapa, and tikanga Maori with matauranga, kaupapa, and tikanga Pakeha. For those asking "how do we do that?", this pukapuka provides research-based ideas and resources to begin to answer this question across early childhood, primary, and secondary student teachers and teachers, and pre-service and in-service teacher educators.
Journeying through this pukapuka is an interactive experience of wananga-through-print with each chapter providing rich informative discussion as well as:
- He mahi-Ideas for our teaching that attend to the kaupapa
- He patai-Questions to provoke deeper reflection
- He akoranga mou-Ideas for professional development
- He panuitanga mou-Suggested reading to take readers further
Ki te hoe! Education for Aotearoa shares stories of educators at various stages of their journeys-kaiako picking up their paddles and paddling a waka together, bound for Aotearoa. Their stories identify ongoing effects on marginalised, vulnerable populations through questioning and offering ways of thinking about and resisting legitimation of particular knowledge systems. Te Tiriti o Waitangi is centralised in each kowae as a pivotal guide for the transformational change required in our teaching and learning spaces to ensure mana orite mo te matauranga Maori (equal status for matauranga Maori) in Aotearoa New Zealand.
