This course is taught in Te Reo Maori. It will enable teachers and educators to gain a sound knowledge of the Treaty of Waitangi, its role in the history of New Zealand and its implications for theory and practice in learning communities today. In the course, students will select a nominated area of study which will enable them to align Maori and bicultural principles to current policies and practices. Students will critically analyse the context of their practice and prepare a strategic plan which meets the needs of Maori and non-Maori in relation to the treaty partnership in their educational settings.
On successful completion of the course, students will be able to:1. Identify and critique key historical events, policies, figures, ideological forces and institutions (in multiple contextual settings) which prompted rangatira to sign, or refuse to sign, Te Tiriti o Waitangi (1840);2. Analyse how, following the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, various events, policies, figures, ideological forces and institutions contributed to a decline in the status of mātauranga, te reo and tikanga (within the Ngāi Tahu rohe and elsewhere). Draw international parallels where applicable;3. In relation to local, national and international trends, identify, critique and debate the strengths and limitations of contemporary education policies, e.g. Memorandums of understanding between Iwi and the Crown, Crown education policies, Iwi strategic plans, curriculum guideline documents and international declarations/laws etc, which require education providers to give effect to the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi;4. Apply what has been learned during this course to develop a strategic plan informed by theory and research. This plan will generate a series of actions that align with the principles of Te Tiriti and give meaningful effect to the aspirations of course participants’ local Ngāi Tahu hapū, mātāwaka (and/or the aspirations of Māori social groupings located elsewhere).
