ERO review
Education Review · 2024-08-02
"While there are examples of good practice in planning, it is not clear how programme evaluation and mokopuna assessment are linked to programme planning."
Planning exists but assessment-evaluation links unclear; further development needed.
"Manaakitanga, aroha, rangimarie and whakaute are the foundation of all interactions. Kaimahi know the mokopuna well and actively provide support, based on their individual needs. They constantly use positive affirmation to acknowledge mokopuna efforts and accomplishments."
Strong emotional support, positive relationships, but building safety concerns impact overall wellbeing.
"Whānau have formed dedicated working groups to ensure active involvement in the management of all kōhanga reo operations. Regular whānau hui are well attended and recorded. Whānau hui minutes are informative and detailed."
Effective whānau engagement, regular communication, and active participation in governance.
"Mokopuna confidently participate in a range of meaningful learning experiences. Kaimahi ensure mokopuna are exposed to te reo Māori and tikanga Māori in formal and informal settings. Mokopuna participate in mihi whakatau where they hear whaikōrero and observe tikanga."
Consistent te reo Māori and tikanga immersion; cultural identity development embedded throughout.
