Te Ao Maori
2. Authentically Incorporating Te Ao Māori & Te Tiriti o Waitangi Principles
To uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles (partnership, protection, and participation), this unit explicitly weaves Te Ao Māori through:
Whanaungatanga & Ako: Establishing collaborative, reciprocal inquiry communities where students learn with and from each other, breaking down traditional hierarchies.
Tūrangawaewae & Identity: Connecting historical global events (such as the 1960s space race) to local contexts, Māori innovation, and storytelling traditions through visual arts and patterns.
Te Reo Māori Integration: Purposefully incorporating vocabulary related to spatial awareness, directions (whakamua, whakamuri), geometry, and cultural expression.
