Bicultural practice
B

Leadership & governance
A
"Shared leadership and mentoring opportunities are growing kaiako knowledge and capability. A thoughtful process of long-term and spontaneous internal evaluation is well aligned with kaiako individual research inquiries. These processes are used by kaiako to grow their knowledge, challenge their professional thinking and make improvements to teaching practices."

Embedded shared leadership, robust internal evaluation, strategic professional learning.
