Te Tiriti O Waitangi based practice for ECE Kaiako

This course has been created by three experienced kaiako from Kids Collective Paeroa. An early childhood service based in the Waikato, Aotearoa. These kaiako wanted to offer support to other kaiako aiming to better understand and improve their commitment to Te Tiriti based practice.

Having a commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi is the first teaching standard in the New Zealand Standards for the teaching profession. It underpins the foundations of our code and responsibilities as teachers. YET this is frequently the most misunderstood and poorly implemented part of ECE teacher practice.

Teachers seek to practice in ways that authentically reflect their commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi as required by the Standards for the Teaching profession. However, it is often challenging to find and access the support they need to do this well. 
We have gathered together three experienced teachers and leaders to share their insights and knowledge with us about how they enact their teaching roles in ways that reflect the foundational position of Te Tiriti. These kaiako will also share practical examples for how teachers can progress their own journey towards authentic and comprehensive Te Tiriti based practice.

The course specifically aims to offer practical recommendations for how kaiako can meet the first NZ Teacher Standard;
1: Demonstrate commitment to tangata whenuatanga and Te Tiriti o Waitangi partnership in Aotearoa New Zealand;
  • Understand and recognise the unique status of tangata whenua in Aotearoa New Zealand.  
  • Understand and acknowledge the histories, heritages, languages and cultures of partners to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.  
  • Practise and develop the use of te reo and tikanga Māori.

These experienced ECE professionals will discuss their own practice in relation to this standard, and share how they strongly demonstrate a commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and work in partnership with whanau every day.
The course includes a range of resources and practical ideas to support kaiako in the development of their practice including;

  • An unpacking of this teacher standard and what it means for us as kaiako in every day practice.
  • Examples of how to embed Te Ao Māori in centre life.
  • Waiata for every day use (song charts and videos).
  • Karakia for a range of purposes.
  • Every day Te Reo Māori suggestions for the ECE context.
  • Suggestions for leadership and leading Te Tiriti based practice for the whole ECE service.

I would like to acknowledge the two beautiful kaiako that shared their learning experiences and journey throughout this course. They were both inspiring and rekindled my learning in the Maori culture and all that it encompasses.
