Video 2: Culturally responsive contexts for learning

  • Key Content

    Students and their teachers share their experiences of learning through a cross curricular inquiry learning opportunity themed around ‘Think Global, Act Local’.

    In implementing the inquiry as a context for learning, teachers disrupted established approaches to curriculum design, to build on their understandings of culturally responsive and relational pedagogy. Māori students reflect on how participation within a co-constructed context for learning recognised and gave space to their identities as learners.
