Week 4 focused mātauranga-informed teaching

In week 4, participants focused on planning purposeful and practical actions to strengthen mātauranga-informed teaching in their own contexts. Through reflection and forward planning, participants were supported to recognise that meaningful change often occurs through small, deliberate shifts and that continued connection, learning and action are key to sustaining mātauranga-informed practice in the classroom. The programme concluded by encouraging participants to consider what comes next and implement an informed shift in their classroom practice.
