Inspiring Teachers through Te Reo Māori - Te Toka Tūroa | Te Ahu o te Reo Māori

Te Ahu o te Reo Māori is a Government initiative funded by Te Tāhuhu o Te Mātauranga - Ministry of Education to develop competency in te reo Māori, tikanga Māori and improve understanding of local stories. Ngāti Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated is the mandated tribal authority for Ngāti Kahungunu and has enlisted a team of reputable and nationally recognised Māori language and cultural specialists who have contracted Kauwaka Ltd. to deliver this programme. The programme has been developed under the expert advice of internationally acclaimed exponents in the field of language revitalisation. 

Te Toka Tūroa aims to grow the cultural capability of staff by providing them with the tools to implement te reo Māori within their classrooms and to apply a cultural worldview in the school’s practice. It also aims to create a supportive network for teachers.    

The programme caters to Levels 1-6: Levels 1-4 will cater for English-medium, and Levels 5-6 will be Māori-medium. The English-medium programme will commence with an induction and wānanga where participants will learn about Ngāti Kahungunu tribal history and language revitalisation planning. 

  • The English-medium programme will also include 18 hours of face to face classroom learning as well as weekly online support over the 20-week period.  

  • The Māori-medium programme will be based around two 4 day noho marae, accompanied by weekly online support.

The programme has been designed by a group of experienced language teachers, under the guidance of Jeremy Tātere MacLeod & Dr. Sir Tīmoti Kāretu. The programme is being delivered by Kauwaka Ltd.
