Informed by the voices of students and staff from Wānanga organisations, this report
provides a rich tapestry of the outcomes of success that the Wānanga aspire to, and the actual experiences of the students themselves.
Kaikaikaroro is the metaphorical and visual conceptual framework for sharing the findings and presenting the opportunity for ongoing development.
The Kaikaikaroro framework provides reflective questions that can be used by all educators to ensure their practice and ongoing learning caters for the needs of Māori.
This focus on more responsive approaches will contribute to ensuring the future of Aotearoa is one that is underpinned by the knowledges and experiences of Māori and looks towards a potential-filled educational landscape for all our tamariki and mokopuna.
