Culturally Responsive Action
Culturally Responsive Action - Finding Our Place In The Partnership
This book contains over 20 engaging, practical, 'hands-on' staff meetings. It is perfect for anyone wishing to engage and gain confidence in how to be prepared to implement Te Mātatiaho in their school, or simply grow in cultural competence.
It uses the Understand, Know, Do, framework to help staff understand their position, responsibilities and partnership with Te Tiriti o Waitangi, know what pedagogies and culturally responsive practices they will need to engage all learners as we move forward, and support leaders to know what to do next regarding strategic planning and implementing a climate of ‘everybody’ on the journey ahead.
Each tool can be purchased separately in our shop, but the recommended flow would be to follow the outline and sequence contained within these pages.
