"Evidence shows that high-quality teaching is the most important influence the education system can have on high-quality outcomes for students with diverse learning needs. Evidence also shows that effective teaching and learning depends on the relationship between teachers and students and the students' active engagement"
The competencies are about knowing, respecting, and working with Māori learners and their whānau and iwi so their worldview, aspirations, and knowledge are an integral part of teaching and learning, and of the culture of the school.
The competencies:
Each competency describes related behaviours for teachers at different stages of their teaching career, and what the results could look like for learners and their whānau
Each competency of Tātaiko shows behavioural indicators for teachers and outcomes for students.
