This workshop is for Years 1-13 teachers in the Waikato.
This full day workshop will provide teachers with culturally responsive, practical and fun physical activities and games that will strengthen their connection with te ao Māori and kaupapa Māori, to help strengthen confidence.
You will learn about the whakapapa, tikanga and protocols of a variety of Māori games and ideas, and you will unpack the concept of Ira Tākaro (the innate desire for play). You will be encouraged to critically reflect on current practices, and to consider ideas for your pedagogical approaches to optimise relationships with ākonga and improve their learning outcomes.
This workshop will help with the confidence for embedding mātauranga Māori into your planning and programmes by providing opportunities for meaningful te ao Māori activities
The workshop will be facilitated by Harko Brown, Māori games expert and author of Ngā Taongo Tākaro II – The Matrix.
Your registration also includes:
- Morning Tea
- Lunch
- a copy of Ngā Taongo Tākaro II – The Matrix book
