Kia Māori ā tātou mokopuna!
Become a kaitiaki of our future and develop the necessary knowledge, attitudes and skills needed to access and pass on ngā taonga tuku iho to our future generations. If you have ever wanted to be a teacher in a whānau class or bilingual setting this qualification is for you. This course is taught in te reo Māori and English.
The mātauranga (knowledge) you will learn is drawn from the study of iwi and hapū values, knowledge and institutions in a way that is consistent with the notion of a Māori world view curriculum and its application in the kaupapa Māori educational context.
Develop a sound knowledge of Te Marautanga o Aotearoa and the New Zealand curriculum, Māori pedagogies, planning, teaching assessment and evaluation of teaching practices plus the importance of internal management systems and their relevance. Become a confident professional within the sector by critically analysing policies, procedures and documents relevant to both English and Māori teaching environments, and applying methods of teaching appropriate for optimum child development.
During the three years you will undertake a minimum of 21 weeks teaching practicum in a primary school setting giving you the opportunity to experience and practice methods learnt during residential seminars and through individual research. You will be supported every step of the way as you begin your journey from learning to teaching, this is also an excellent qualification towards higher progression in the education sector.
Poutuarongo Te Rangakura Whakaakoranga, Bachelor of Teaching (Bilingual), is eligible for Teach NZ study awards and scholarships. Check on the Teach NZ website for more information.
To enrol in this qualification you must first complete the Heke Te Rangakura Kaiwhakaako which is a one year diploma and the first year towards this three year qualification.
TE REO AND IWI AND HAPŪ STUDIES
Over the years, you will complete weekly tutorials and activities in Te Reo via our online space, Mūrau. These not only prepare you to attend two hui rumaki reo on campus each year (one per semester); but will further enhance your Te Rangakura journey as you learn the value and mana our language holds in the teaching and learning space. Yes, it can be scary, but you will not be taking the journey alone nor do need to have any reo to begin! You will be guided every step of the way with tutor support.
You will also study two papers each year towards your Iwi and Hapū studies to compliment your learning, these are often the most rewarding part of study for the majority of our students as they gain a deep connection back to their roots. Your Iwi and Hapū papers will be online with excellent tutor support to help you through, week by week activities. The assignments that you complete will become a taonga and resource for your whānau, marae, iwi and will be treasured for years to come.
Te Reo and Iwi and Hapū studies begin in the first week of the academic year, so you can begin your studies before your first specialisation noho. You will also get the opportunity to meet your reo and iwi and hapū pūkenga during your first noho on campus.
