Beyond the Poi and Poster: Moving from Symbolic Compliance to Authentic Transformation - Rotorua

This PLD supports early childhood centres to move beyond symbolic cultural practices toward authentic, meaningful integration of te ao Māori. It introduces the Poua te Aroha Framework, which focuses on three key areas: integrating mātauranga Māori into everyday teaching, creating culturally responsive environments that affirm identity and belonging, and providing culturally appropriate, mana-enhancing support for tamariki and whānau Māori.
