Te Marautanga o Aotearoa is an outcomes-focused framework designed to support ākonga in Years 1-13.  It expresses both government and Māori aspirations and expectations for ākonga in Māori medium education.  Kura and Māori medium settings are at different stages of completing Te āhua o ā tātou ākonga or their Marautanga-ā-kura.

Professional Learning Development (PLD) is available to ensure the outcomes Kura have set will be met.  All ākonga bring with them language, identity and culture.  Provision of services will support the shared vision of Kura, Whānau and Iwi.

This PLD will be implemented in two phases;

Tupu Toi - Phase 1 involves supporting settings to complete:

• Te āhua o ā tātou ākonga that articulates the collective aspirations for their students
• A Marautanga-ā-kura that provides the framework to actualize these shared aspirations

Whanake Toi - Phase 2 will support settings to:

• Implement their Marautanga -ā-kura by exploring and understanding Ngā Āhuatanga Ako, from Te Marautanga o Aotearoa, in the context of selected learning areas.
