Education Review · 2025-08-19
"Kaimahi planning and mokopuna assessment are well organised and managed. They collaborate in designing a comprehensive mahere ako that weaves in ancestral narratives and significant landmarks that are connected to the local hapū and iwi. This planning spans an annual, term, monthly, and weekly cycles. The plan clearly outlines learning outcomes, strategies, and resources to ensure purposeful and effective implementation. Learning experiences are thoughtfully chosen to stimulate, challenge, and extend mokopuna learning."
Comprehensive, culturally grounded planning with intentional assessment and deliberate learning experiences.
