This practical guide to culturally responsive teaching practice in the tertiary sector is designed to support kaiako (teachers) to reconfigure the teacher/learner dynamic and question old habits, with a view to embracing kaupapa M?ori and diversity. Step by step,‘Ng? Hau e Wh? o T?whirim?tea’ explores core M?ori values that can be used to enhance kaiako effectiveness and relationships with students, M?ori and non-M?ori alike, including: manaakitanga – ethic of care; whanaungatanga – relationships; kotahitanga – unity; and rangatiratanga – student agency and leadership. Working at their own pace, kaiako can engage with M?ori students and stakeholders to co-develop learning outcomes, processes and assessments that support student success in the tertiary environment.‘Ng? Hau e Wh? o T?whirim?tea’ can be used in a cycle of reflective practice, drawing on past experience and feedback from colleagues and community to develop cultural competence and confidence in tertiary learning spaces.
