3. G E P R I S P Hui Whakarewa: 3 day induction hui Goal To improve Māori students’ educational achievement Experiences ofMāoristudents in education are examined and inform this process Positioning of teachers within agentic discourses is critical Relationshipsthat exist in classrooms need to be examined and may need to change Interactions Current ways of interacting in classrooms may also need to change Strategies are introduced to create opportunities for different ways of interacting Plan We need to planfor all this to happen Creating new experiences of Māori students being affirmed, valued and academically engaged. Which continues to challenge teachers’ positioning and promote teachers’ agency Which develops new relationships ‘a pedagogy of relations’ Which support the use of different interactions New strategies can be introduced Cycle of in-class observations, feedback, co-construction meetings and shadow-coaching

4. Evidence needed to inform GEPRISP G E P R I S P The need to improve Māori students’ educational achievement The need to examine Māori students’ current experiences The need for agentic positioning The need for relationships of mutual trust and respect The need to plan for all this to happen The need for a wide range of interactions The need for strategies that support discursive practices Measurable increase in Māori students’ educational achievement Measurable increase in positive experiences for Māori students Qualitative shifts in thinking from deficit to agentic Evidence of relationships of caring at three levels: Caring, Expectations and performance Shifts in interactions from traditional to discursive Evidence of increase in range and type of co-operative, dialogic and and interactive strategies • Evidence of planning: • in-class • in-school • whole school

7. EXPERIENCES: Valuing and legitimating Māori students’ educational experiences • Evidence about the current schooling experiences of Māori students. • Evidence of Māori student’s improvements in morale, engagement and participation in learning. • Use of this evidence in a systematic manner to inform a range of learning and professional outcomes.

13. Evidence of goals and / or action plans at: an individual level a department level a school level Are goals / action plans Specific, Achievable and Measurable? Relevant and Time-framed? What evidence do we have of the relationship between evidence of outcomes for Māori students, planning and delivery? PLANNING:Evidence of planning to achieve the goal of raising Māori student achievement and participation
