Saili Matagi - 'Seeking the winds of change in Pasifika Education'
Description
This course will support Early Childhood and Primary pre-service teachers to understand key historical, socio-economic and cultural contexts/events from a range of perspectives that have informed Pasifika community experiences in Aotearoa. Pre-service teachers will identify, and critically examine, contextual factors, professional practices and pedagogical approaches required to raise the engagement and achievement/learning outcomes of Pasifika students, families and communities. To that end, this course will enable student engagement with Pasifika community leaders (and other experts) to help students contextualise their development of quality teaching practices for Pasifika learners. It will also require students to apply various Pasifika theoretical and research lens to their application of the Standards for the Teaching Profession (Our Code/Our Standards) and Tapasa (2018). Pre-service teachers will, ultimately, be supported to consider the important role they must play to support ‘Saili Matagi’, the ‘winds of change’, needed for the success of Pasifika learners in New Zealand centres and schools.

Curriculum: Designing holistic and bicultural learning experiences
Description
This course supports pre-service teachers to understand and apply the holistic, bicultural early childhood curriculum Te Whariki. Pre-service teachers will engage with theoretical and practical frameworks for responsive teaching in early years teaching. These frameworks will take account of learners’ diverse backgrounds and draw on local contexts. Pre-service teachers will examine assessment frameworks, intentional and pedagogical strategies to support the development of learning dispositions and working theories. Pre-service teachers will implement principles of assessment that recognise the important role of responsive and reciprocal nga hononga relationships. The central role of identities and knowledges in fostering interests and learning of tamariki will be critically examined in the context of early childhood settings. The course will complement learning in other courses in the Bachelor of Teaching and Learning (Early Childhood), including Professional Practice.
