Rangiātea case studies and exemplars launched
These tools respond to research and Māori learner experiences which identify that when leaders and teachers engage in culturally responsive practices this has a significant effect on the extent to which Māori learners set and achieve their goals and aspirations.
The Rangiātea case studies and exemplars demonstrate the journey that five New Zealand secondary schools are on towards realising Māori student potential.
The resources consist of downloadable PDF files with summaries and reflective questions that are intended to support leadership teams in discussion and reflection.
The case studies look at the strategies used by school leadership teams and report on the key factors that are contributing towards lifting Māori student achievement in their schools. The exemplars step through how a particular programme has been used successfully in each school. Schools that took part are:
Western Springs College – individualised monitoring of achievement
Opotiki College – creating educationally powerful connections
Hamilton Girls’ High School – Māori student engagement
Hastings Boys’ High School – pastoral and careers education
Kakapo College – building relationships
