Te Kotahitanga: Maintaining, replicating and sustaining change

URL: Te Kotahitanga: Maintaining, replicating and sustaining change
The purpose of this report is to document the outcomes of the implementation of Te Kotahitanga in Phase 3 and 4 secondary schools from 2007 to 2010. During these four years, the Phase 3 schools were in their fourth to seventh year of implementing the project in their schools. Phase 4 schools were in their first to fourth years of the programme. The project will report on whether the Phase 3 schools were able to maintain the gains they had made in teacher practices and student achievement during the first three years of the project. The report will also examine if the Phase 4 schools are following a similar pathway to the earlier group of schools (Phase 3) in their implementation of the project. The research project sought to identify the conditions necessary for the schools to sustain and embed the practices and learnings from Te Kotahitanga.
