Day1: dr Mere Berryman.
Enjoying education success as Maori: a home school approach to learning and literacy.
How students identity is constructed by education ( success or failure) has a huge influence on what they will become
How does this play out in your school?
We don't value what children come to school with.
How do we view knowledge?
2. How do we view knowledge? Ako. The importance of the relationships and interactions between students and teachers
Why do teachers ask questions...?
How do we learn alongside our children? Ako.. That interactive space where sometimes we are the learner and sometimes the teacher
Te Kotahitanga effective teaching profile
Tchrs are culturally appropriate and responsive, and they possess the following understandings
A) they positively reject deficit theorising, they focus on what they can do.
B) they are committed to and know how to bring about change I. Educational achievement
What tchrs were doing is what they knew
Tchrs demonstrate those understandings in the following ways
1. Tchrs care for these students respecting their culture
2. Teachers have high expectations for the performance of these students
3. Teachers create a secure well managed learning environment
4. Tchrs can engage in effective teaching interactions
Interactions emerge from relationships - whanaungatanga
Culture counts - whakapapa
Pedagogy is responsive and interactive - Ako
Common purpose / vision and reciprocal responsibility - kaupapa
Power is shared between self determining individuals -'Mahi Tahi Kotahitanga
These 5 points need to be brought together to make a difference
How do whanau type relationships
Many whanau do very well - start young, talk, enjoy the magic of words in many forms and languages
Model what you want and make it accessible
Make it an everyday event, a little bit..often
And soon meaningful reading begins to emerge
And soon those those little marks will be understood
Get kids to write a story and you or parents write a story back to them.
Maori parents engage in schools in settings where their chn are successful where they have mana kapahaka and sport
Therefore schools need to ensure c/ rooms reflect successful contexts for m students as this will encourage parental engagement
Schools need to provide spaces that allow whanau and the school to talk together for the benefit of students
The creation of spaces can benefit both the spaces need to reflect a context that say to whanau you belong here
Setting up responders in parents. Writing sent to these parents for a response
We all have apart to play we can make it happen,
