Tuia Te Ako 2013 – National Maori Tertiary Educators hui – Register Now
Tuia Te Ako is gaining a strong reputation across the tertiary sector for its efforts to bring together prominent leaders in Maori tertiary education, iwi-based tertiary groups, individuals from the broader tertiary sector, and learners, in one hui dedicated to supporting future success of all Maori in tertiary education.
The hui is a platform for discussion and debate about what success may look like for Maori in tertiary education into the future, and how we work to raise levels of success for all.
The hui provides opportunities for people to share ideas, to network and learn from each other, and take away those ideas to use in their own teaching and learning environments.
- Standard rate – $201.25 (incl. GST)
- Group booking – 10% discount (5+ people)
- Accommodation options are available on campus
Key focus of the hui
The following statement overarches all of the presentations at Tuia Te Ako 2013:
However, across most of the rest of the sector, Maori enrolments are well behind Pakeha and are predominantly for lower level qualifications. While Maori outcomes are improving in some parts of the sector, in other parts the gaps between Maori and Pakeha are widening.
What will make a difference to improving outcomes for Maori learners in the future? What can wananga, universities, ITPs, private training establishments and Industry Training Organisations do to make a difference? How can the sector work with iwi and Maori to ensure improved outcomes for Maori?
Key focus for attendees
We look forward to exploring these issues with everyone and encourage attendees to consider the following questions in relation to the above statement:
- What does this mean for me in my classroom or teaching situation?
- What does working with Maori mean for my tertiary institution? and conversely,
- How do I (as Maori) work with my tertiary institution?
Co-hosts – Ako Aotearoa and Te Wananga o Raukawa
This year, Te Wananga o Raukawa joins Ako Aotearoa (The National Centre for Tertiary Teaching Excellence) as co-hosts, and the three-day hui will take place at the wananga’s prestigious new facility Nga Purapura at its Otaki campus.
This is the first time the hui has welcomed a co-host and Te Runanga Maori (Ako Aotearoa’s Maori Caucus) and Te Manu Matauranga (the hui committee) are honoured to share this hosting role with such a committed exemplar of Maori tertiary education.
Hui Themes
The hui themes guiding the hui in 2013 relate to learner success and in particular the place of whanau, hapu and iwi, the use of Matauranga Maori and the setting of high standards within a contemporary setting:
- Whakapapa – the relationship of tertiary provision to whanau, hapu and iwi aspirations
- Matauranga Maori – growing the matauranga continuum to assist and ensure the survival and wellbeing of Maori
- Kairangi – creating innovative solutions to contemporary issues.
These themes have been developed with careful consideration of four key drivers:
- The need to build on the past two Tuia Te Ako hui, including attendee feedback
- Te Rununga Maori and Te Manu Matauranga’s understanding of the key issues for Maori in tertiary education
- Ongoing consultation with the sector
- Ako Aotearoa’s Te Tauaki Ako (Ako Framework)
