@BrigidMcNeill Couldn’t be more proud of this research project and team!

Dr Ngaroma Williams created Ki te Hoe: Indigenising Practice, a free resource that strengthens bicultural teaching practice. It’s proven popular with early childhood educators and has been downloaded over 30,000 times. She hopes the resources will be well-used, not just during Te wiki o te reo Māori (11-17 September).
