Helping teachers and leaders in Māori-medium and English-medium settings to be the best they can be. Haemata is a Ministry of Education preferred-provider.
TEACHER SUPPORT
We work with kaiako and leaders on:
- language teaching strategies (incl. second language teaching)
- bilingual, immersion, and culturally responsive pedagogy
- reo Māori proficiency
- career development.
RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT
Our teaching and learning resources are designed to:
- develop teacher knowledge and capability
- engage learners
- facilitate the use of te reo Māori within the classroom.
CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
What schools and kura teach matters. We want our kids to be proud and successful culturally, linguistically, academically, and socially in their world. That's why working on national and local curriculum is important to us.
