New content: Mahi Tahi expanded

Posted on 01 May, 2016

The Mahi Tahi area of this site, where the theorising that underpins Kia Eke Panuku is detailed, has been expanded to better support schools and their communities to realise their commitment to ensuring all Māori students are able to enjoy and achieve education as Māori.

There are now two distinct sections.

The first - Mahi Tahi making the difference - provides a description of the defining elements of the Kia Eke Panuku response and how they provide a pathway to transformative school reform.

Key to this are the three critical contexts for learning that require our attention and investment to bring about deep, systemic and sustainable change.

The second - Mahi Tahi working together - remains as it was before but now sits ‘behind’ the first section. It provides the detail of the thinking, the people and the processes at work to realise the aspirations of Māori communities.

This section is in effect a “map” of the work undertaken by Strategic Change Leadership Teams and the perspectives that guide their way of working. Each phase is described in the “Voices” of kaitoro (facilitators) who detail the interplay of the institutions that enable the realisation of our kaupapa.
