Teachers, register below to join this free online professional learning session on Thursday 3 March 4:00–4:45 pm.
The Ministry of Education’s current PLD priorities include local curriculum design and growing cultural capability, but what does this mean for science?
We will be talking with Shawn Cooper, Senior Curriculum Lead and science presenter from Home Learning TV. Shawn will share his thoughts and insights on developing a local curriculum and what embedding mātauranga Māori into the science classroom could look like.
Shawn has worked across primary, secondary and tertiary settings in Canada and Aotearoa New Zealand and brings knowledge from his own personal and professional journey as a non-Māori wanting to uphold mana ōrite mō te mātauranga Māori.
During the webinar we will share a range of examples and resources to support you in developing a local curriculum that embeds mātauranga Māori.
You will be sent a reminder email before the webinar.
