| How whānau and teachers support tamariki Māori to be successful in learning and education | 2.19 MB |
Whakatere Tōmua uses the concepts of wayfinding, the voyaging spirit, navigation, and waka as a means of better understanding the ways Māori and Pasifika ākonga (learners) successfully navigate their way through the schooling system, maintaining positive motivation, academic engagement, cultural connectedness, and high aspirations for the future.
This study examines the ways that whānau (extended family) believe they, and teachers, can best support ākonga to successfully navigate their educational experiences and contexts both at school and at home.
The findings are presented in three parts:
- Supporting success
- Whānau support for tamariki (children)
- Teacher support for tamariki
