Māori Cultural Coaching – Five courses to choose from
These self-directed courses are designed to support the application of five Māori values which have been adapted to enhance both teaching practice and interpersonal working relationships. Each course contains interactive kōwae (modules) of work to engage in supported by a experienced Māori cultural coach.
Each course can be completed in approximately 10 hours of self-directed online learning. The expected completion time is about 6 weeks with additional time for cultural coaching as required. A reflective practice task is completed at the end of each course that will reward you with a digital badge.
In-depth, bespoke courses
For organisations to book courses privately, tailored to your specific learning requirements. We can discuss with you which of the cultural concepts your organisation would like to explore in greater depth, and design an approach to meet your team's learning needs.
