ERO review
Education Review · 2025-04-09
"Kaimahi have clear processes in place to plan the learning programme. Planning is developed collectively with the influential knowledge and expertise of the kuia in selecting kaupapa ako. The yearly, termly, monthly, weekly and daily planning documents align to Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo, Te Korowai and ngā wāhanga o te tau."
Clear planning aligned to Te Whāriki; needs stronger assessment practices and te reo immersion.

"Additionally, the strategic direction of the kōhanga reo does not include an action plan. The development and implementation of an action plan will better assist whānau to track and monitor progress made to the primary focusses such as, no compromise for te reo Māori."
No strategic action plan; limited evaluation of programme effectiveness in leadership meetings.
