Collated data from the Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Kia Eke Panuku schools (54 schools in 2014 and 43 schools in 2015) that have completed the Rongohia te Hau classroom observations by November 30th, are presented below. The continuum used by schools is a 5-point scale. The results are reported below across the 5-point scale, and for discussion purposes, the scale has been collapsed to the following categories:
Basic: Rated as a 1 on this scale:Teachers who have either yet to, or are just beginning to implement the basic aspects of culturally responsive and relational pedagogy.
Developing: Rated as a 2 or a 3 on this scale: Teachers who are developing implementation of culturally responsive and relational pedagogy.
Integrating: Rated as a 4 or a 5 on this scale. Teachers who are integrating/have integrated culturally responsive and relational pedagogy into and throughout their day-to-day practice.
