Tamara has been teaching in the primary sector for ten years, teaching in the United Kingdom, on the West Coast, and in Christchurch. In 2010, she took a year’s leave from a Deputy Principal position after receiving a full study award to attend the University of Canterbury, where she received a Postgraduate Diploma in Education: Hoaka Pounamu-Te Reo Maori Bilingual and Immersion Teaching. Tamaras passions are te reo Maori in English-medium schools, the pedagogy of second language acquisition, I.C.T and e-learning, so her current role as a National Facilitator with CORE is her dream job, incorporating all of these areas!
