The Mahi Tahi kete of resources
Posted on 16 December, 2015
Schools are complex, involving multiple dimensions of endeavour from multiple groups of people. Some of these multiple dimensions are institutionalised by schools and they help to define who they are and how they are strategically committed to providing education within their own communities. Evidence can show us whether these institutions are working equitably and efficiently for all groups.
Mahi Tahi provides a specific kete of resources to understand the Kia Eke Panuku reform institutions and how these can build and inter-connect coherently across the school system.
In so doing Mahi Tahi can be the act of kia eke panuku to ascend and attain our aspirations for realising Māori students enjoying and achieving educational success as Māori.
We invite schools to align their current institutions with those of Mahi Tahi to realise the kaupapa they have committed to within Kia Eke Panuku.
To do this most coherently, we have developed the Mahi Tahi kete of resources to help schools to understand each of these institutions and personalise their Kia Eke Panuku reform pathway forward.
We anticipate schools and their communities will be able to draw from these resources to critically consider new ways of engaging and forging connections in ways that are transformative.
