Ako Mātātupu

⚠️ All schools, kura, Universities, Polytechs and early childhood centres will be closed in Auckland until Tuesday 7th February per instruction from @EducationGovtNZ Secretary.

Here's a useful list of where Aucklanders can get and offer help. Shout out to @_chloeswarbrick and her team for pulling it together. Things are unfolding, so details may change. Note: it has been pulled together by volunteers, so isn’t exhaustive. thespinoff.co.nz/society/29-01-…

Evacuation centres - keep looking out for one another team and please take care.

What is Māori education? Thinking multiply rather than seeking a single definition, we reflect and share some of our kaiako perspectives: teachfirstnz.org/blog/m%C4%81or…

"To serve community is to embrace interconnectedness and invest in your own wellbeing, too. Community care is self care." @TeachFirstNZ unpacks (and debunks some myths!) about what it can mean to serve #community in this wonderful piece ✨ teachfirstnz.org/blog/serving-c…

Happy holidays! A great time to reflect on serving community. "When we invest in our community we get to stand tall, grow in resilience and mana, see others for who they are and feel more seen ourselves": teachfirstnz.org/blog/serving-c…

They need great teaching, awesome resourcing, warmth and joy. They need teachers who can deliver well constructed lessons, within well planned units, provoking new thinking and deep consideration. They need to be learning in a context that shows it cares for them in real ways /11

A collective of us who teach aspects of social justice are getting together to reflect on how we bring social justice into the university classroom through assessments. Get in touch if you would like to join us in an informal talanoa to share our practices.

Māori institutions don't just benefit and serve Māori people. They can serve all of us. Māori ways of doing things can form the basis of a new society that will allow all of us to prosper. Pākehā aren't losing anything by working to achieve that, they're gaining.
