Paper Description
Paper Structure
This is a 100 level professional development paper. The expected time commitment over 12 weeks is 150 hours.
Taught hours include:
Literacy: 24 hours over six weeks (2 two-hour tutorials per week) - Weeks 1-6.
Mathematics: 24 hours over six weeks (2 two-hour tutorials per week) - Weeks 7-12
2020B Trimester Only: Students who identify themselves as unable to attend in-person classes will be supported by their lecturers to participate in tutorials remotely. The scheduled times should be expected to be the same for remote attendance as they would be for in-person attendance.
Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the course should be able to:
Assessment
Assessment Links to Learning Outcomes and the Teacher Standards
Links to Tātaiako
In completing the literacy and mathematics components of this paper, you will be exposed to strategies and content that align to the key principles of Tātaiako, and will assist you to cater to the needs of Māori students so that they may ‘enjoy educational success as Māori’ (Ministry of Education, 2011, p. 4). This paper prioritises the establishment and nurture of close relationships with Māori students and their whānau (Whanaungatanga and Manaakitanga competencies). Satisfying Māori learning potential will be reliant on these aspects and your ability to connect to and uplift student backgrounds (Tangata Whenuatanga). The teaching approaches and strategies developed in this paper will assist you to cater to Maori students’ needs. Finally, you will be involved in classes that demonstrate techniques that will strengthen your ability to make connections with Māori students including arranging pair, group and class discussions (Wānanga competency), and learning from one another reciprocally (Ako competency).
Assessment Components
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 100:0. There is no final exam.

Online Support
Teaching for this paper will be conducted face-to-face in small tutorial groups. As noted above, there will be two two-hour tutorials per group each week. While there will not be a weekly primary lecture (PL) during this trimester, students should expect to spend time completing assigned readings and/or online activities in preparation for their in-person tutorials each week, as advised by their lecturers.
In the case that the NZ government, university leadership, or the teaching team decides that face-to-face teaching is not possible or ideal, some or all teaching will be moved online. Our class Moodle site will remain the the main point of online contact. Some resources (e.g. paper outlines, etc.) will be made available through the Moodle site for this paper.
