Unpacking the Standard
Students will demonstrate their learning about the influences on Te Ao Haka. Students will need to explore their own connections and perspectives within Te Ao Haka through analysing and discussing performances, from both within and outside of Te Ao Haka.
Level 2
Students at Level 2 should be experimenting and innovating. This is reflected in the internals' credit values being higher than those of the externals to provide room for creativity and a safe space to develop through taking creative risks. Six credits have been allocated to both internal Achievement Standards for this reason, with the stated aim of bringing out the best in all ākonga in a 'safe' – or familiar – space.
