Education Review · 2021-04-08
"Kaimahi work collaborately to plan, assess and evaluate mokopuna learning. They know each mokopuna and their learning needs. They seek whānau opinion to inform planning. Planning documents are displayed so kaimahi and whānau can work together to support mokopuna learning. Mokopuna enjoy learning that is well managed and organised."
Collaborative planning and assessment evident; whānau input sought; learning well-organised.

"To meet compliance requirements the whānau must: ensure there is an ongoing process of internal review to help the kōhanga reo maintain and improve the quality of its education and care."
Compliance requirement not yet met; internal review process needs strengthening.
"Internal evaluation needs strengthening in order to monitor and improve key areas of operations. It is timely for the whānau to now: report on progress being made against the annual plan monitor and report on progress made against the strategic plan ensure all health and safety policies and procedures are regularly reviewed, dated, and align to current legislation appoint a dedicated kaiwhakahaere to manage kōhanga reo operations in a timely manner."
Internal evaluation requires strengthening; dedicated leader needed; strategic planning gaps.
