Teaching to the North-East

Our kura's pedagogical approach is a relations based approach to learning. We believe that without relationships no deep learning can be achieved.  We create whanau like spaces for learning, ensuring we create safe spaces where your identity, culture and strengths are seen and valued.  

Our approach is grounded in the principles in Russell Bishop's, Teaching to the North East: demonstrating high expectations and rejecting deficit explantations, caring for and nurturing learners, creating well managed environments where learners can learn and teachers can teach, and knowing what learners need to learn and how to teach effectively.
