One of these is Tätaiako: Cultural Competencies for Teachers of Mäori Learners. The Tätaiako framework purports to define behaviours and skills that reflect a teacher’s Mäori cultural competence to ensure the success of Mäori students, as Mäori. These competencies are identified as five traditional Mäori values and concepts: ako, manaakitanga, tangata whenuatanga, wänanga and whanaungatanga. The purpose of this article is to present a Kaupapa Mäori analysis of Tätaiako, which raises questions about its potential to improve Mäori student achievement, its underlying political purpose and the challenges inherent in the education system that may affect its successful implementation.","PeriodicalId":36901,"journal":{"name":"MAI Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87316352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in the 21st century these characteristics are likely to be frowned upon rather than celebrated in Aotearoa New Zealand’s education system. Mäori students experiencing complex needs, like Mäui, are known for pushing the boundaries. Rather than signalling strength of character, these characteristics are frequently viewed as deficits. This article discusses research with five Year 10 mainstream Mäori students experiencing complex needs in their lives, and how shapeshifting, as a positive mechanism, allowed the participants to enact their identities in different ways and in different contexts. Using Püräkau, a Mäori narrative qualitative research methodology, the püräkau of the participants, whose experiences or stories have been unrecognised or unheard, are privileged (Lee, 2005, 2008). Overall, the participants wanted professionals to get to know them for who they are, know that they have life aspirations and know that they are proud to be Mäori.","PeriodicalId":36901,"journal":{"name":"MAI Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81541127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Trade and exchange was a common feature in the early history of Mäori, both before and after Päkehä contact, as it was one of the main reasons for interaction. The language used in these interactions offers an insight into Mäori commercial and economic adaptability and provides a template for how te reo Mäori can further develop to support a Kaupapa Mäori way of conducting business.

Around one in three Mäori children are defined as living in poverty. While the Monitor is a prompt for government action to reduce child poverty, it has been criticised as presenting a negative view of the lives of Mäori children and whänau. This paper considers whether a fuller picture of the lived realities of Mäori children can be gained from routinely collected data, using a lens of tamariki Mäori wellbeing. A mauri framing for the indicator set is proposed, with three components reflecting the ihi, wehi and wana of tamariki. This paper is intended as a resource that can inform discussion of Mäoricentric indicators of Mäori children’s wellbeing as individuals, within the context of whänau and wider society.","PeriodicalId":36901,"journal":{"name":"MAI Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73042375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
