but...discussion about the positioning of te reo Pākeha in Te Marautanga o Aotearoa –

what does this mean for us?

New title:Curriculum Guidelines for Teaching &

Learning Te Reo Māori for English-medium Schools

(years 1 – 13)

Rationale:The positioning of te reo Māori, a specialist

document for te reo Māori teachers

11

Request made by the advisory group for red, black and white combination.

Learning languages are bright blue Branding of Te Reo Māori i te Marautanga o

Aotearoa Branding of Learning Languages The new look of the NZC

12

Red, black and white explored Problems due to shading for inside of the

document (limited pallet) 15 different options trialled Ka Hikitia published in bright blue Alternatives sought

13

Front end being edited – information grouping, less advocacy, focus on “what” rather than “how”, best practice focus.

Achievement objectives and proficiency statements largely unchanged (minor if any editing).

A document for teachers of te reo Māori rather than all teachers

14

Significant delays around editing Resource issues Plan in place – 2 weeks will be ready for

style edit and design work throughout the document

BUT...had planned for July then October 2008, election year, launch of the marau...February 2009 might be better.

TRM Advisers National Coordinator Curriculum Guidelines Year 7 & 8 Te Reo Māori PD (Haemata)

The curriculum is due to be implemented in 2010.  We need standards that are aligned to the curriculum for 2010. 

This means that the draft standards need to be with the Ministry and NZQA by the end of June 2009 so that final evaluation and registration procedures can proceed.

18

The first stage of the process will involve the contractor developing a draft matrix of standards that cover the key curriculum outcomes at curriculum levels 6-8. 

Awhina Gray is the contractor for te reo Māori.

19

The second stage will be developing draft standards from this matrix, and dealing with any duplication and credit parity issues. 

Consultation will occur for both of these stages – probably targeted for the first stage and national for the second. 

20

The third stage involves fine tuning the matrix and standards as a result of the feedback from the consultation. 

Exact timing of these stages is still unclear.

What is having the best effect on improving the quality teaching and learning of te reo Māori

What is the best spend of resource? Who is responsible for ensuring resources and

other work programmes are tailored to address the “other” te reo Māori specific needs of the NZC?

What additional resource is needed due to the unique and layered position of te reo Māori in the NZC?

to help them confront problems that have never yet been successfully addressed.”
