Love working with children?  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.

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 practise 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.
