Activity 7: Indigenous knowledge and cultural responsiveness in my practice Ko te kaupapa i tēnei wiki e hāngai ana ki te ahurea, me te hononga ki te taha whakaako. I te mea kei te mahi ahau ki tētahi kura Māori ka wareware ahau he rerekē ia tamaiti, ā, i ētahi wā he wero māku kia Māori ake ōku whakaaro i ahau e whakaako ana. Taumata 1: Taku mōhiotanga mō te ‘cultural responsiveness’. E ai ki a Milne (2017), he mea whakahirahira te ahurea, ā, me whai wāhi te kura me ngā kaiako ki te whakanui ia rā, ia rā i roto i ngā marau katoa e whakaako ana i roto i te kura. Ko te mea nui ka whai wāhi ngā ākonga me ngā whānau ki te tuku i tō rātou puna mātauranga. I tēnei wā kei te whakaako ahau i ngā ākonga rima tau te pakeke. He maha ngā pātai me ngā whakaaro ka puta i a mātou e ako ana. Ko taku mahi he whakarongo noa ki ngā kōrero, kātahi ka warea i ērā kōrero. Kei te ako tonu hoki ahau ki te whakamahere i ngā mahi i te taha o te whānau. I te wā ka kite ahau i ngā tuhinga e pā ana ...

Kei te aro ahau ki tēnei mea te Developing personal skills kei roto i te tuhinga a Daggett (2014). I roto i ēnei mahi kua āta wetewete i ngā take e whai pānga ana ki Aotearoa. Kua whakatatoko i tēnei arotake ki ngā taumata e toru, ā, e whai ana i te anga nā  Rolfe’s model of reflection . Taumata 1 Emerging trend #5 Developing personal skills E ai ki tēnei wāhanga, ko tā te mahi a te kaiako he whakarite i ngā ākonga mō te ao, kia pakari ai rātou me ngā pūkenga whaiaro i te ao matihiko, Daggett (2014). Hei tauira, ko ngā tuhinga ka whakapāho atu ki te Pukamata, ngā momo whakaahua, koia te āhuatanga e whakaatu ana ki ngā wāhi mahi, ngā whare wānanga, me ngā tāngata katoa e āhei ana te kite. He mea māku kia whakamātauria i te mea, i ētahi wā kāore au i te paku whakaaro he aha tāku e whakapāho atu ki te ao. Mō te taha whakaako: Ka whai ahau i tēnei tikanga i mua i taku whakapāho atu ki te ao: Mehemea he pai mā te hunga kaumātua, kei te pai kia whakapāho atu. I te mea ke...

Ka tino rata ahau ki te āhua o te paetukutuku Pinterest, ā, ka whakamahi ahau i ngā wā katoa kia whai whakaaro mō ngā ngohe whakaako ki ngā ākonga. Kua ngākaunui ahau ki tēnei pūmanawa i te mea, he ngāwari te rapu i ngā ngohe marau, ā, e āhei hoki ana ahau ki te whai i ngā tohunga o te ao mātauranga. Otirā, ka whakapakari anō au i ōku pūkenga whakaako, kātahi. Ka rua ka rerekē ngā wheako a ngā tamariki i tōku akomanga. Ko tētahi paetukutuku anō ka kaha kite i roto i aku mahi whakaako, ko te Mata Ata. He ngāwari te kimi i ngā kiriata e hāngai ana ki ngā marau katoa. Mō te taha whakangungu kaiako, ka hono ahau ki te pūmanawa Tīhau. He ngāwari ki te whai i ngā mātanga mātauranga me te karawhiua ngā pātai e hāngai ana ki te kaupapa o te wā, kātahi ka tere whakahoki kōrero. I te nuinga o te wā ka noho motuhake ahau i runga i ēnei paetukutuku. Ko tētahi mea e hiahia ana au ki te panoni, ko te hono atu ki te whānau me te hapori, ngā ākonga, me ētahi atu h...

Create a reflective entry where you first identify an ethical dilemma that you either have faced or might face in the future, in your own practice that is linked to digital or online access or activity. This is an interesting topic and in my experience of teaching have seen many scenarios arise, especially before digital citizenship was introduced in school. For the purpose of this activity I will be following Rolfe et al.s’ (2001) reflective model. Step 1 (What): An ethical dilemma that I have faced involved a student, her parents, and a teacher. The teacher involved in the incident was an experienced teacher who taught for many years. The student was upset by the teacher for telling her and two other students quite firmly to go outside as all the other children were playing outside. The student was upset by the way the teacher spoke to her. The student later told her mother that the teacher was being mean to her and that she was a mean teacher. The parent later posted on...

To what extent might blended learning impact on the engagement in the learning of literacy? or How does blended learning affect students' engagement in a new entrant class?

Topic Area Blended learning models and student engagement I would like to focus on a blended learning model and how that impacts on student engagement. I have found it difficult to engage students in my new entrant classroom (Māori immersion), with little reo Māori. I think it is important to provide an inclusive environment at kura, however, it is difficult when there is a language barrier to hook those students into the mahi.
