In June: Indigenous pedagogies

Thursday, 19 June, 2 – 3.30pm

On the eve of Matariki, join us to explore a kaupapa Māori-centric teaching practice from Arts and Education Te Puna Wananga, discover Pūtoi Ako resources on TeachWell Digital, gain insights into the new Waipapa Taumata Rau course in FMHS, and experience the Pacific relational teaching of the Kākala Classroom online.

We have a number of generous colleagues keen to share their practice and expertise on indigenous and relational pedagogies:

Hāpai Tauira: Creating Conditions for Māori Learners to Thrive in Tertiary Education – Tania Cliffe-Tautari (Arts & Education)
Pūtoi Ako Resources on the TeachWell Website – Piata Allen (Arts & Education)
Honouring Experience in Online Learning: A Relational Approach to Course Design – Billie Lythberg, Jin Lio & Sisikula Sisifa (Business & Economics)
Kaupapa Māori values in the FMHS Waipapa Taumata Rau course – Rhys Jones & Ariana Andrews (Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences)

We look forward to seeing you there!

Our aim is to empower educators and learners through collaborative exploration and innovation in learning design, assessment strategies, and technology-enhanced education (including Generative AI) and to foster compelling, engaging, and inclusive learning experiences. Through building our learning community, we hope to advance university education through innovation, collaboration, and technology, fostering a culture of excellence and inclusivity in learning and teaching.

If you or a colleague would like to share your learning design and teaching practices (failures, wins, learnings or conundrums!), to contribute to the teaching culture across the University, please get in touch with us at raa@auckland.ac.nz
