Mātauranga Māori: He whakamārama: Understanding mātauranga Māori

Ko te tauira reo Pākehā kē tēnei o te whārangi nei, i te korenga o tētahi tauira reo Māori.
Mā te rongo, ka mōhio. Mā te mōhio, ka mārama. Mā te mārama, ka mātau. Mā te mātau, ka puta ki te whai ao, ki te ao mārama!
Through perception, comes awareness. Through awareness, comes understanding. Through understanding comes wisdom. Through wisdom, we emerge to the world of enlightenment!

To teach Māori learners, kaiako must understand Māori learners. This starts with understanding Māori values. In this toolkit of resources, kaiako, whānau and the wider education community will learn about foundational Māori values and what they look like in practice, in the classroom.
