Professional Support - Online Distance Learning

This is to remind you of the professional learning and development support available, for teachers and kaiako teaching in or through te reo Māori via a distance model.

Kahu Pūtoi is an online community to support kaiako, kaiawhina, kaiārahi reo, pouako and tumuaki who are teaching te reo Māori in any education setting.  It’s a collaborative environment where they can create professional and curriculum peer-to-peer relationships with other kaiako and support each other to:

• develop stronger te reo Māori programmes;
• share best practise and pedagogy; and
• provide real-time support in locally relevant contexts across all levels of the schooling sector.

 Te Ara Whītiki is a phone-based service that supports whānau, schools and kura to make the best use of teaching and learning resources available online, on Ki te Ao Mārama and Learningfromhome websites.  For school leaders, kaiako and teachers, Te Ara Whitiki provides professional online learning advice and support in both English and te reo Māori. You can contact this service on 0800 700 401 (English) or 0508 294 462 (te reo Māori).

Ako Panuku supports kaiako Māori in schools and kura throughout Aotearoa. The network of more than 1800 kaiako offers access to professional learning, teaching and learning resources, and support that is designed around best practice and pedagogy for Māori, by Māori.  Ako Panuku supports its members to:

• develop their career pathways as teachers and leaders;
• participate in professional communities and clusters;
• engage in culturally relevant professional learning; and 
• access teaching and learning resources across all curriculum areas.
