Kia ora koutou,
It’s nearly Christmas! By then, I’m sure it will feel like the year has flown by.
I have news – we are offering our first two leadership development opportunities for all teachers, regardless of role or sector. This principle sits at the heart of the Leadership Strategy and Rauhuia | Leadership space. We have some great speakers lined up – be sure to sign-up, using the information below.
The series starts by looking at mana, which sits at the heart of leadership.
The Terenga Huihuinga Rauhuia | Leadership Symposia Series starts on October 18. To learn more about Rauhuia, I recommend looking at the pages on our website, or by watching this short video by Robyn Baker, the newly appointed Chair of the Teaching Council, who was deeply involved in the creation of the Leadership Strategy.

Another great resource is this video featuring Ripeka Lessels and Frances Nelson which describes how Rauhuia came to life. You can learn more about this month's symposium in the article below. I'm certainly looking forward to it and I hope to see you there. Until then, I hope the start of the new term gets off to a great start for you all, and for all you hard-working ECE kaiako, keep up the great mahi! The end of the year is coming (fast)!
Noho ora mai

Terenga Huihuinga Rauhuia | Leadership Symposia series
When you think about leadership, who comes to mind? Does that person have a specific set of capabilities that make them a leader, do they demonstrate ways of thinking and working that encourage others to follow? The Teaching Council sees all members of the profession as leaders and through Rauhuia, aims to encourage all members to realise their own leadership capabilities.
The Terenga Huihuinga Rauhuia | Leadership Symposia series has been designed for all teachers and provides an opportunity to start a conversation about leadership, in, of and for the communities we serve.
Our first symposium is based around the concepts of Tino Rangatiratanga and Mana Motuhake. |
|
|
Session 1: TINO RANGATIRATANGA ME TE MANA MOTUHAKE - leaders make decisions about how to flourish in their context. Individual and community rights, professional, personal, cultural, and spiritual identities are protected.
Guest Speakers: Pānia Papa and Hans Tiakiwai
Date: Tuesday 18 October 2022.
Time: 4:00pm - 5.30pm

Scenario 4:
It is the beginning of the school year and a pōwhiri is taking place for new staff, tamariki, and whānau. The day before the pōwhiri, at a teacher-only day, a local kaumātua is leading the staff through the pōwhiri process and explaining appropriate tikanga. Once the kaumātua leaves the room, a teacher is audibly heard whispering to staff sitting around him, “what a waste of time, all this Māori s***, I’ll sit where I want to not where I am told...”
