2021 Evaluation & BnB
Bursts and Bubbles - Live stream! That was fun! I really enjoyed this way of sharing, listening to everyone's inquiry for the year in a short, sharp, digital platform.

What's the challenge? What's my challenge?
Every document that is available and related to Pasifika and Maori learning is focused on Teacher Practice. This is the heart of the matter. Until teachers change their attitudes and practice student learning will stagnate. My focus is on teacher practice looking at Cultural Responsiveness. Do teachers know their students' cultures? Where they were born? Language spoken at home? Who they live with? What their students’ home responsibilities are? Is there evidence of each child’s culture in the classrooms? Beyond that - do teachers know their students’ stories? And what to do with that gold? Without this crucial information and a change in attitudes and practice, our tamariki will struggle to make connections, stay connected and be confident, all of which are outcomes of student learning. Bishop et al (2014) expresses that new cultures or ethnicities require teachers to engage quickly and positively with learners from any culture and background so that their learners can progress
