The final days of the TER face to face are next week - 2 and 3 October.

All teachers who have completed practicum should have their Associate Teacher GTS form completed and submitted by the end of this week.

Congratulations to those of you who have portfolios well on the way including quality reflections on your teaching practices while on practicum. We will ask all of you to share your portfolios during the face to face session so please be prepared.

Natasha has been linking all her portfolio entries to the GTS to ensure she is meeting all requirements - a great way to go!!

We are looking forward to seeing you all at the face to face. Remember that this is a compulsory part of your TER programme.

# data[].attributes.body
It is now a really good time to check your module requirements and ensure you are on track.

Module 1 requirements should be close to completion by now, reflections should be continuing and Module 3 should be well underway or completed. The next step is to get into those final modules - one compulsory for secondary teachers and one option for primary.

Best Practice Workshops offer you an opportunity to learn about NCEA. They are usually open to teachers in school but perhaps you could talk with your school and see if they would enrol you if you pay the fee of $120. They are usually excellent opportunities to meet others and extend your NCEA knowledge and practice.

Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa. Greetings to you all.

Te wiki o te reo Māori takes place this year between 10 and 16 September. Kia Kaha te reo Māori is the theme for this year's Māori Language Week. 'Kia Kaha' is a well known phrase in New Zealand, meaning 'be strong'. We often talk about language health, strength, and revitalisation. So when we say 'Kia Kaha te Reo Māori' we're saying - 'Let's make the Māori language strong'.

Te wiki o te reo Māori provides an opportunity to celebrate and learn te reo Māori, helping to secure its future as a living, dynamic, and rich language.

This resource page offers ideas, links, and stories to help schools engage with their parents, families, and whānau to support the learning of te reo Māori in both the school and home environment.

Get involved ...

Learning te reo Māori resources
This page, developed by the Māori Language Commission, has a list of activities to help people learn te reo Māori. Why not promote these suggestions to your students and their whānau at your next assembly, in your school newsletter, or on your school website?

Hei waiata, hei whakakoakoa
This collection of waiata and haka includes a songbook with lyrics, song sheets, curriculum achievement objectives, and suggestions for activities. You could share this resource with parents and whānau and encourage them to learn songs that can be sung together at home and at school.

2017/18 Te Kupu o te Wiki
A 50 week programme, teaching you 50 Māori words over 50 weeks. This resource, complete with sound clips, can be shared with parents and whānau at home.

Maori myths, legends, and contemporary stories
This is a collection of well known stories based on Māori oral traditions, stories which have been handed down through the generations. Promote storytelling in your school community by sharing this resource with students, parents, families, and whānau.

What is your school doing?
In this clip we hear teachers discuss some of the exciting things that are happening in their schools, in terms of Māori language teaching and learning. This clip could be shared with your parent community and used as a springboard to collectively evaluate and enhance your te reo Māori programme.

2018 Māori language parades
Māori Language parades will be held in Wellington, Rotorua, Gisborne, and Auckland in 2018. Visit the Māori Language Commission website to find out more information.

Hukanui School stories

The staff and board of Hukanui School decided that they would like to focus on te reo Māori development within their school. This series of three videos explains their journey.
"I think it's vitally important that teachers upskill themselves in te reo and tikanga Māori but also marry that and use effective second language acquisition techniques. You know, you could give teachers lists of vocabs and sentence structures, but what are the most effective ways to teach it, so that embedding happens effectively for the children?"
Nadine Malcolm - Hukanui School

Teaching and learning resources

Curriculum Guidelines for Teaching and Learning Te Reo Māori in English-medium Schools: Years 1-13
These guidelines are intended to help every English-medium school in New Zealand to design and shape a curriculum that includes te reo Māori, alongside other learning areas, and to acknowledge its value. The document describes the knowledge and understandings that students need to acquire and the levels of proficiency that they are expected to achieve as they progress through the eight levels of the curriculum.

Haka Tū, Haka Ora
Haka Tū, Haka Ora is an online resource that helps English medium schools shape a pōwhiri welcome that is unique and specific to their community, hapū and iwi.

T e reo Māori in English-medium schools
This website provides information and resources relevant to the teaching and learning of te reo Māori in English-medium schools. It offers lesson plans and a storehouse of teacher resources.

This resource for year 7 and 8 teachers and students supports Māori language in schools. Ka Mau te Wehi! is an expression meaning awesome or fantastic. It is used in this context to acknowledge and celebrate all achievements, large or small, that are made by the teacher and learner as they learn te reo Māori together.

He reo tupu he reo ora
This is an online multimedia resource for teaching and learning te reo Māori. The primary audience is students in years 1-6 learning at levels 1-2 of Te Aro Arataki Marau (the curriculum guidelines for te reo Māori). It contains eight units of work with reomations (animations in te reo Māori) and videos on how the resource can be used.

Knowing and understanding the overall requirements of the NZC as well as the nationally valued outcomes of the students, this is what's always in my mind that the centre of the teaching learning will always be the students. Bearing in mind that the students are the centre of the teaching-learning, this is where the pedagogies come in and it will help me identify what strategies I can use in delivering the lesson effectively.
