Quality Te Reo Māori me ōna Tikanga Workshops

Kia ora koutou,

Are you wondering how to implement or review your te reo Māori programme? How are you building for sustainability in te reo Māori teaching and planning for seamless learning across the school? How are you bench-marking against the curriculum? How are you supporting teachers who do not feel confident about these things? If you are looking for answers to these questions come to the workshops, along with your lead / pilot team for 2017.

The Jeanne Gilbert Consultancy is offering the popular Quality te reo Māori me ōna Tikanga series of three workshops per term, in terms 1 and 2, again in 2017 . Registrations for term 1 have been slow this year, so please register straight away if you wish to participate. Registrations for term 2 are also open.

These interactive workshops progress from big picture thinking and planning, to team collaborative planning and upskilling of teaching methodologies, to a focus on learning activities.

Workshop 3 would also be suitable for teachers new to schools that have already worked in-depth with Jeanne and have been able to support these teachers into the teaching and learning of te reo Māori me onā Tikanga.

For full details of each workshop and registration forms click on the link below.

Looking forward to working with many of you in this coming year. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any queries.

Mā te wā,
Ngā mihi nui,
