Te Aho Tapu

Kia Ata Mai Educational Trust, in collaboration with Te Hua Kawariki Educational Trust and Aronui (Ngā Pou Tāhuhu), are proud to present ‘Rangaranga i Te Aho Tapu’, a Māori medium beginning teacher support programme.

‘Rangaranga i Te Aho Tapu’

is a support programme which uses a unique cultural framework to deliver all round support for beginning teachers their mentors and wider kura network.  The programme design is based on key elements of the korowai weaving process from the foundation cord through to the final embellishments. The programme name is derived from the following whakataukī:
Rangaranga i Te Aho Tapu Kia Hua Mai Te Rangatiratanga

Whiri Mai!

We offer personalised support delivered by a team of highly skilled Māori medium education practitioners (Pou Kōkiri) available in most regions of the country.

Once registered, you will be paired with a Pou Kōkiri (PLD mentor) who will work with you to co-construct a programme of support designed to meet your needs within your induction and mentoring programme.

Raranga Mai!

You are able to select from our range of face to face (COVID protection framework levels allowing) and online delivery mechanisms including attendance at Whiria Te Muka Tangata, our twice yearly online conference.
