ERO review
Education Review · 2023-01-31
"Programme evaluation and mokopuna assessment is not used to inform programme planning for the strengths and interests of mokopuna."
Assessment not informing planning; developing practice needed.
"Mokopuna are calm and settled."
Children settled and calm, but health/safety concerns limit overall wellbeing.
"Monthly whānau hui are not frequently held. As a result, whānau are not meeting their management responsibilities."
Whānau hui insufficient; management responsibilities not met.
"Strategies such as waiata, pao, rotarota and instruction support mokopuna language development."
Te reo and Māori practices evident but not explicitly evaluated for depth.
"Earthquake drills have not been practised."
Emergency drills not practised; compliance requirements not met.
"There is limited understanding of internal evaluation to monitor the quality and ensure the future direction of the kōhanga reo is secure."
Limited internal evaluation; no action plan; whānau lack awareness of strategic goals.
