    Teaching Arrangements

    Teaching is seminar style, cooperative, and collaborative.  A learning environment that reflects a Te Tiriti o Waitangi partnership approach will be promoted. The enactment of values of whakamana, manaakitanga, pono and whanaungatanga, in keeping with lecturers’ status as members of the teaching profession, will be observed.

    Lecturers in this paper are te reo Māori language learners and committed to using and hearing te reo Māori in teaching.  This does not mean you must be a te reo Māori speaker to participate at the beginning of the paper, but across the course of the year you are encouraged to use the reo you have to lead and learn with us all.
