What is My Rawa?
Our new teacher portal, My Rawa, brings all Teaching Council tools and processes together in one trusted digital home.
Named after the Māori word rawa, meaning abundance and capability, My Rawa is here to help you grow, lead, and thrive as a kaiako in Aotearoa.
By logging in for the first time, you'll link your Education Sector Logon (ESL) and your Teaching Council account. Once connected, you won’t need to do this again and can begin completing your professional tasks.
