heke te rangakura kaiwhakaako
diploma in teaching (bilingual)
Kia Māori ā tātou mokopuna!
Enter a rewarding, dynamic career that offers flexibility, job security and opportunities to travel as you turn your passion for making a difference in the lives of our tamariki into a career.
This one year diploma will introduce you to the bilingual teaching environment at primary school level. You will gain the necessary knowledge, attitudes and skills needed to access and relay ngā taonga tuku iho. This mātauranga 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.
This is the first year of the three year Poutuarongo Te Rangakura Kaiwhakaako degree.
Approved by the Education Council of Aotearoa - TeachNZ Study Awards and Scholarships are available.
TE REO AND IWI AND HAPŪ STUDIES
Over the year, 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 in 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.
