A10: Niho Taniwha
In this Leaders' Connect hui recording from 25 August 2022, Dr Melanie Riwai-Couch (Rangitāne o Wairau, Ngāti Kuia, Ngāti Apa ki te Rā Tō) discusses her book Niho Taniwha and shares her whakaaro on improving teaching and learning for ākonga Māori.
- What does cultural competence mean to you?
- What do you think a culturally responsive school leader does? How do they prepare to lead? How do they engage with their staff, whānau and ākonga?
- What difference does it make to ākonga if their school leaders are culturally competent?
