Kua mahi ngātahi Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ngā whānau, ngā kaiārahi, ngā kaimahi me ngā hapori ki te whakawhanake i ngā tirohanga aromātai e whai wāhi nui ai ki te hāpai i te kawenga takohanga me te whakapaitanga, ki te tautuhi i te ahu whakamua, ā, ki te whakapakari ake hoki i te āheinga ki te aromātai. E hāngai ana tēnei pūrongo ki ā rātou pūnaha, ki ā rātou whakaritenga, me ā rātou mahi whakahaere. Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā hapū me ngā iwi. 

2 Te Horopaki 

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kaha Nui a Tiki ki Te Kaha. E āhei ana te kōhanga reo ki te poipoi i ngā mokopuna 30, me te tokowaru o rātou ki raro i te rua o ngā tau. E noho pūmau ana te whānau ki te tautoko i ngā mema katoa e whakatupu ana, e whakawhanake ana hoki i tō rātou reo Māori. He toka piringa, he rākau whakamarumaru. 

3 Te Aronga o te Aromātai

He pēhea rawa te poipoi o ngā pūnaha me ngā tukanga a te whānau i te toitūtanga o te kōhanga reo mō ngā mokopuna? 

Kua āta whakaritea ngā pūnaha me ngā tukanga a te whānau, hei poipoi i te toitūtanga o te tautoko ki ngā mokopuna, me tā rātou ako. 

4 Mana Whakahaere

He pūnaha, he tukanga ā te whānau mō te whakahaeretanga i ngā whakaritenga ki te kōhanga reo. Kei te tūtohinga te huarahi e whakatakoto ana i te aronga nahanaha ki te whakahaere i ngā whakaritenga o te kōhanga reo, ā, kua pou herea ki ngā mātāpono o Te Korowai me Ngā Pou Matua o Te Kōhanga Reo. Kua tuituia hoki te hītori o te kōhanga reo, ngā tātai whakapapa, me ngā tūmanako o te whānau. He pai te taetae atu ki ngā hui o ia marama, ā, he wā e āta hāpai ake ana i te papai o ngā whakapuakitanga mōhiohio. E āta ārahi ana ngā kaupapa here matua me ngā tukanga matua o te hauora me te haumaru i ngā kaimahi me ngā whānau. Whakamātauhia ai e ngā kaimahi ngā hōneatanga ohotata i ia te wā. Ka ū ki te whakahou ake i ngā rēhita, kia pūmau ai te aronga ki te hauora, te haumaru, me te waiora o ngā mokopuna. Kua whakatinanahia te mahere rautaki a te whānau ki Te Ara Tūāpae, ā, e whakatakoto ana hoki i te tirohanga me ngā whāinga o te whānau mō ngā mokopuna. Ka tautuhi te mahere ā-tau i ngā mahi e pā ana ki te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo me te tari, me te wā hoki e tika ana kia whakatutukihia aua mahi. Ka whakatau ngātahi te whānau i ngā whakaritenga e whakatairanga ana i te ako a ngā mokopuna, i tō rātou waiora hoki, tae atu ki ngā tūāhuatanga e tino whai hua ana ki a rātou. 

Kua āta whakaritea ngā tukanga a ngā kaimahi mō te whakamahere me te aromātai hōtaka. Ka mahi ngātahi ngā kaimahi ki te whakamahere i te ako a ngā mokopuna, ā, ka aromātai i ia te wā i te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga. Ka tautuhi te mahere ako i te kiko o te hōtaka, i ngā rautaki mō te whakatinanatanga o te mahere, me ngā rauemi e tika ana mō te taiao ako. Whakawhiti kōrero ai, tuhi ai hoki ngā kaimahi i ngā aromātai hōtaka, ā, ka whai wāhi atu aua whakaritenga ki ngā whakarerekētanga ki te hōtaka akoranga. E whai hua ana ngā mokopuna nā te whakatinanatanga o ngā mahi ngātahi a ngā kaimahi. 

Ngā Whakaritenga Matua ka whai ake 

E mōhio ana te whānau me ngā kaimahi, e haere tonu ana ā rātou mahi ki te whakatairanga ake i tō rātou mōhiotanga me tō rātou māramatanga ki te Children's Act 2014. E whakatau ana hoki Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, e tika ana kia whai wāhi atu te whānau ki ētahi atu wānanga me ētahi atu whakangungu, kia mōhio ai, kia mārama ai rātou ki ā rātou kawenga e whakatutuki ai i ngā takohanga o te ture, i te aronga pū hoki ki te haumaru me te waiora o ngā mokopuna. 

Kāhore anō kia kitea ētahi o ngā kaupapa e pā ana ki ngā tuhinga kaimahi me ngā mahi aromatawai. Kua whakatau te whānau me Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ka whakawāteahia aua tuhinga hei tirohanga i te taenga atu a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ki te kōhanga reo. 

5 Te Whakatau ki ngā Wāhanga Tautukunga

I te wā o te arotake, i tirohia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha ki te whakahaere i ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei, arā, ki:

• te haumaru ā-whatumanawa, tae atu ki te ārahi mauritau me te ārai tamariki
• te haumaru ā-tinana, tae atu ki te mātakitaki tamariki, ngā whakaritenga whakamoe, ngā aituā, te whāngai rongoā; me ngā kaupapa here, ngā tukanga hoki mō ngā haerenga whakawaho
• te tū tika o ngā kaimahi, tae atu ki te tika o ngā tohu mātauranga, ngā mahi arowhai a ngā pirihimana, me te tatauranga ki waenga i te kaiako me te tamaiti 
• ngā whakaritenga ohotata me ngā tikanga ohotata e pā ana ki te rū whenua, te ahi, te waipuke, te tai āniwhaniwha, me te mate urutā.

7 Ngā kōrero e pā ana ki te Kōhanga Reo

1 Introduction

The Education Review Office (ERO) in collaboration with whānau, leaders, kaimahi and their communities develop evaluation insights that foster accountability and improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability. This report reflects their systems, operations and management practices. ERO’s reports provides important information for hapū and iwi. 

2 Context 

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kaha Nui ā Tiki is in Te Kaha. The kōhanga reo caters for up to 30 mokopuna including eight under two years of age. The whānau are committed to supporting all members in their te reo Māori language growth and development. He toka piringa, he rākau whakamarumaru.

3 Evaluation Focus

How well do whānau systems and processes foster future sustainability for mokopuna?

Whānau have established systems and processes to nurture sustainable support and learning for mokopuna. 

4 Findings - Mana Whakahaere

Whānau have systems and processes to manage the kōhanga reo operations. The Tūtohinga offers direction and sets out a planned approach to managing the business of the kōhanga reo which is underpinned by the principles of Te Korowai and Ngā Pou Matua o Te Kōhanga Reo. It incorporates the rich history of the kōhanga reo, whakapapa connections and the aspirations of whanau. Well attended monthly hui facilitate good information sharing. Core health and safety policies and procedures provide clear guidance for kaimahi and whānau. Kaimahi conduct regular emergency evacuations. Registers are kept to ensure mokopuna health, safety and welling is prioritised. The whānau strategic plan is informed by Te Ara Tuapae and encompasses the vision and goals whānau hold for mokopuna. The annual plan identifies overall operational and administration tasks and when these are to be completed. Whānau collectively make decisions that promotes mokopuna learning, wellbeing and overall best interests. 

Kaimahi have established processes for both planning and programme evaluation. Kaimahi work collaboratively to plan mokopuna learning and regularly evaluate the quality of the learning programme. The mahere ako identifies programme content, strategies for implementation and for resourcing the learning environment. Kaimahi regularly discuss and document programme evaluation, this practise informs changes to the learning programme. Mokopuna benefit from the implementation of collective kaimahi practices.

Key Next Steps

Whānau and kaimahi acknowledge their ongoing efforts to enhance awareness and understanding of the Children’s Act 2014. ERO agree that it is essential the whānau engage in further wānanga and training to recognise and understand their commitment in fulfilling the obligations of the Act and prioritising mokopuna safety and wellbeing.

Matters related to personnel documentation and assessment are yet to be sighted. Whānau and ERO have agreed that documentation will be available for the onsite visit.

5 Kōhanga Whānau Assurance on Legal Requirements

During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:

• emotional safety including positive guidance and child protection
• physical safety including supervision, sleep procedures, accidents, medication, excursion policy and procedures
• suitable staffing including appropriate qualifications, police vetting, ratios
• emergency procedures and practices for earthquakes, fire, flood, tsunami and pandemic.

6 Recommendation

ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau recommends that relevant documentation for personnel matters and assessment be made available during the onsite visit.

7 Information about the Kōhanga Reo

1 Te Horopaki

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kaha Nui ā Tiki ki Te Kaha. E hāpaitia ana te kōhanga reo e te purapura mō te rohe o Te Whānau-a-Apanui. Ka ako ngā tamariki i ō rātou hononga ā-iwi me ngā uaratanga matua mā ngā huarahi pārekareka e whai pūtake ana, ā, e whai pānga ana hoki ki a rātou. Nō nā tata tonu nei te kaiako i whakatūngia ai. E tino tautokona ana ia e ētahi o te hapori.

2 Ngā Whakaaturanga o te Aromātai

He pēhea rawa ngā tamariki e whakaatu i tō rātou māramatanga ki te Apanuitanga?

Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki tō rātou māramatanga ki  tō rātou Apanuitanga mā ō rātou hononga ki tō rātou maunga, tae atu hoki ki te moana, te awa, me tō rātou whakapapa, tō rātou tūrangawaewae, ō rātou whānau, ō rātou kaumātua, tō rātou marae me tō rātou hapū.

Mana Whenua 

E hāpaitia ana te ako a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori. Ka whai wāhi matua te reo ā-iwi o Te Whānau-ā-Apanui. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā mihimihi, ngā karakia, ngā waiata, me ngā waiata ā-ringa o Te Whānau-a-Apanui hei hāpai i te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā tamariki. Ka whakamahia ngā pātai, te whāngai kupu, me ngā tohu ā-ringa hei akiaki i ngā tamariki ki te kōrero mō tō rātou tūrangawaewae, me ā rātou mahi mā ngā horopaki ōkawa me te tākaro. Ka whakautu kōrero te whānau mō ngā pēpi i ngā wā mihimihi. E whakawhanake ana ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.

E ako ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e whakanui mārika ana i tō rātou whai wāhi mai hei uri o Te Whānau-a-Apanui. Ka whakarato te whānau i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te haereere i ia te wā ki ngā marae katoa huri noa i te takutai nei. He whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te tūhura i tō rātou taiao hei tangata whenua, me te whai wāhi atu ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo kaupapa. He pārekareka ki a rātou ngā taunekeneke e whai pūtake ana ki waenga i a rātou anō, ki ētahi atu tāngata, ā, ki te taiao māoriori hoki pērā i te moana. Ka ako ngā tamariki i ngā haka, ngā pātere, me ngā waiata o tō rātou iwi, hei whakawhānui ake anō i tō rātou māramatanga ki te Apanuitanga. E whanake ana te māramatanga o ngā tamariki ki tō rātou tuakiri.

Te Whakamahere me te Aromātai 

E whai pūtake ana ngā mahi whakamahere a te whānau. E whakamahi ana ngā kaimahi i Te Whāriki hei ārahi i tā rātou hōtaka akoranga. Ka whakamaheretia e rātou i ia wāhanga, ā, ka wetekina ki ngā taumahi o ia wiki. Ka hāngai ngā kaupapa ako ki te whenua, te maunga, te awa, te moana, te marae, te tūrangawaewae, me ngā whakapapa. Kua whakatōngia ki te hōtaka akoranga ngā mātauranga o te iwi me te hapū. E whiwhi ana ngā tamariki i ngā akoranga e whai pānga ana ki a rātou hei uri o Te Whānau-a-Apanui.

E whakahaere ana te whānau i te kōhanga reo hei painga mō ngā tamariki. Kei te tūtohinga te aronga mārama mō te whānau ki te whakahaere i te kōhanga reo. Kua arotakengia e te whānau ā rātou kaupapa here me ā rātou tukanga. Kua whakaritea ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru, ā, e hāngai ana hoki ki te wā. Ko te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki te aronga matua. E whakatutuki ana te whānau i ā rātou herenga hei kaituku mahi. Kua whakaritea ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi, ngā kirimana, me ngā tukanga kia arowhaingia e ngā pirihimana. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki i te wā e whakahaerehia ana ngā whakaritenga o te kōhanga reo hei painga mō rātou.

Kua oti i te whānau ngā mahere rautaki kia hāngai ai tēnei ki Te Ara Tūāpae, tae atu hoki ki ngā whāinga o te whānau mō tēnei wā, me ērā o meāke nei. Ka whakatinana ngā mahere ā-tau i te kiko o ngā mahi e ārahi ai i te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. He rawaka te aromātai o roto. Pūrongotia ai i ia te wā ki ngā hui ā-whānau, mō ngā āhuatanga katoa o ngā whakahaeretanga i te kōhanga reo. Ka whakarerekē haere, i runga anō i te āhua o ngā matea me ngā whai wāhitanga ka pupū ake. E mōhio ana te whānau, e tika ana kia āta whakaritea e rātou te rōnakitanga o ngā mahi whakahaere ki te kōhanga reo.

Ngā Whakaritenga Matua ka Whai Ake

E whakamahi ana te whānau i ngā pūkete me ngā pūrongo hei huarahi ki te aromatawai i ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Ahakoa e whai hua ana ēnei hei takotoranga o ngā wheako me ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki, he mea nui kia whai whakaarohia e te whānau me ngā kaimahi me pēhea te whakaatu i te ahu whakamua o ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki me ō rātou whakawhanaketanga, i roto i te roanga o te wā. Ka taea anō hoki pea te whakapakari i ngā kōrerorero me ngā mahi e tātari ana i ngā wheako o ngā tamariki, hei whakaatu i te ako i whakatutukihia ai, me te huarahi ka whāia tonuhia.

Kāhore te haere tonutanga o te aromātai hōtaka e whakaōkawatia ana. He ōpaki kē ngā whakawhitinga kōrero auau e pā ana ki tēnā i whai hua ai, me ngā āhuatanga pea hei whakapai ake. Kāhore anō ngā kaimahi kia tuhia aua kōrero. E mōhio ana rātou, mā te tū auau o ngā hui me te tuhi i ngā whakawhitinga kōrero, ka puta mai te kiko o ngā tuhinga kōrero mō ngā pūrongo hei whakatakoto ki ia hui ā-whānau.

Me arotake te tukanga ki te arohaehae i ngā kaimahi. Kāhore te tukanga arohaehae o tēnei wā e hāngai ana ki ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi. He mea nui, kia toro atu rātou ki ngā tohutohu me ngā ārahitanga o te tari ā-rohe o te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo. Kia oti i a rātou taua mahi, ka noho mārama te whānau ki te whakawhanaketanga ngaio e tika ana ki te whakapakari ake i ngā kaimahi i roto i ā rātou mahi ki te taha o ngā tamariki. 

3 Te Whakatau a te Whānau ki ngā Wāhanga Tautukunga

I te wā o te aromātai, i whakamātauhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha o te kōhanga reo ki te whakahaere i ngā āhuatanga i raro iho nei e whai pānga nui ana ki te waiora o ngā tamariki:

• te haumaru whatumanawa (tāpiri atu ko te ārahi mauritau, ko te ārai tamariki)
• te haumaru ā-tinana (tāpiri atu ko te mātakitaki tamariki; ko ngā whakaritenga whakamoe; ko ngā aituā; ko te whāngai rongoā; ko ngā whakaritenga akuaku; ko ngā kaupapa here me ngā tikanga haerenga whakawaho)
• te tū tika o ngā kaimahi (tae atu ki ngā taumata tohu mātauranga; te arowhai a ngā pirihimana; ngā rēhitatanga kaiako; me te tatauranga ki waenga i te kaiako me te tamaiti) 
• ngā whakaritenga, tikanga hōneatanga e pā ana ki te ahi me te rū whenua. 

Ko te tikanga, ka whakatairanga ngā kōhanga reo katoa i te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki, me te arotake anō hoki i ia te wā i tā rātou whakatutukitanga i ngā herenga ā-ture. 

I tāutuhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā wāhanga kāhore e tutuki ana e ai ki te ture. Kia tutuki i te whānau o te kōhanga reo ngā herenga ā-ture, me tahuri rātou ki te: 

• whakarite i tētahi tukanga hei aromātai i te whai huatanga o te hōtaka akoranga
  [R43 Ture Mātauranga (Kōhungahunga) 2008; C1-4 me C7-10 Paearu Raihana mō ngā Kōhanga Reo kei raro i te maru o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo 2008]  

• āta whakapau kaha ki te whakarato mā ngā kaimahi e whai wāhi mai ana ki te kōhanga reo, te rawaka o ngā pūnaha arohaehae, te tautoko ngaio, ngā whai wāhitanga ki te whakawhanake ngaio, me ngā rauemi hoki e tika ana.
  [R47 Ture Mātauranga (Kōhungahunga) 2008; GM1-12 Paearu Raihana mō ngā Kōhanga Reo kei raro i te maru o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo 2008]

4 Ngā Taunakitanga

I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo ngā taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:

• whakawhanakehia e ngā kaimahi tētahi tukanga mō te aromātai hōtaka, hei whakapai ake i te kounga o te whakapuakitanga hōtaka
• rapua e te whānau te tautoko ka hāpai i ngā kaimahi ki te whakatairanga ake i ngā mahi aromatawai mā ngā tamariki, ā, kia arotakengia hoki te tukanga arohaehae o tēnei wā.

Hei ā hea Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga aromātai anō ai i te kōhanga reo?

Ka aromātai anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kaha Nui ā Tiki i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Ngā kōrero e pā ana ki te kōhanga reo 

1 Context

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kaha Nui a Tiki is in Te Kaha. The kōhanga reo is supported by the local purapura in Te Whānau-ā-Apanui. Children learn about their tribal connections and key values in meaningful, relevant and enjoyable ways. The kaiako has been recently appointed. He is well supported by members in the community.

2 The Evaluation Findings

How well do children show their understanding of Apanuitanga?

Children show their understanding of Apanuitanga through their connections to their maunga, moana, awa, whakapapa, tūrangawaewae, whānau, kaumātua, marae, and hapū.

Mana Whenua

Children are supported to learn te reo Māori. The dialect of Apanui is a significant. Kaimahi use mihimihi, karakia, waiata and waiata ā-ringa of Te Whānau-ā-Apanui to support children’s language development. Questions, prompts and hand signs are used to encourage children to talk where they are from and what they are doing in both formal contexts and in play. Whānau respond on behalf of the pēpi during mihimihi. Children are developing as speakers of te reo Māori.

Children learn in an environment where being from Apanui is a priority. Whānau provide opportunities for children to regularly visit a number of local marae on the coast. Children have opportunities to explore their environment as tangata whenua and participate in a range of opportunities. They enjoy the meaningful interactions amongst themselves and between others and the natural environment such as the moana. Children learn about haka, pātere, and waiata from their iwi to further their understanding of Apanuitanga. Children are developing an understanding of their identity.

Planning and Evaluation

Whānau planning is purposeful. Kaimahi use Te Whāriki to guide their learning programme. Their planning is carried out term by term and broken down into weekly activities. Kaupapa ako includes learning about the whenua, maunga, awa, moana, marae, tūrangawaewae and whakapapa. Iwi and hapū knowledge is embedded in the learning programme. Children experience learning that is meaningful to who they are as Apanui.

The whanau manage the kōhanga reo in the interests of children. The charter provides clear direction for whanau to manage the kōhanga reo. The whānau has reviewed their policies and procedures. Health and safety policies and procedures are current and in place. Compliance registers ensure that whānau can monitor and fulfil their health and safety responsibilities. The health and safety of children is paramount. The whānau fulfils their employer obligations. Job descriptions, employment contracts and police vetting processes are in place. Children benefit when the operations of the kōhanga reo is managed in their best interest

The whānau has completed strategic planning in line with Te Ara Tūāpae which includes the current and future goals of the whānau. Annual planning provides detail to guide kōhanga reo operations. Internal evaluation is adequate. There is regular reporting to whānau hui on all aspects of kōhanga reo operations. Changes are made in response to needs and opportunities that may arise. The whānau are aware of the need to ensure the management of the kōhanga reo remains sustainable.

Key Next Steps

The whānau use profiles and reports as a method of assessing children’s learning. While these provide a useful record of children’s experiences and learning, it is important for whānau and kaimahi to consider how to show the progress in children’s learning and development over time. This could include strengthening commentary and analysis of children’s experiences to show what learning has occurred and where to next.

Ongoing programme evaluation is not formalised. Regular informal discussions are held on what went well and what could be better. Kaimahi are yet to record these. They acknowledge that regular meetings and recording of discussions will provide the basis of a written report for each whanau hui.

The kaimahi appraisal process requires reviewing. The current appraisal process does not align to the job descriptions. It is important that they seek advice and support from the District Office. Once completed, whānau will be clear about what professional development is required to upskill kaimahi in their work with children.

3 Whānau Management Assurance on Compliance Areas

During the evaluation, ERO looked at the kōhanga reo systems for managing the following areas that have a potentially high impact on children's wellbeing:

• emotional safety (including positive guidance and child protection)
• physical safety (including supervision; sleep procedures; accidents; medication; hygiene; excursion policies and procedures)
• suitable staffing (including qualification levels; police vetting; teacher registration; ratios)
• evacuation procedures and practices for fire and earthquake.

All kōhanga reo are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance with legal requirements.

ERO identified areas of non-compliance. In order for the kōhanga reo whānau to meet compliance requirements they need to:

• establish a process for evaluating the effectiveness of the learning programme
  [R43 Education (ECS) Regulations 2008; C1-4 and C7-10 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]

• ensure all reasonable steps are taken to provide staff employed or engaged in the service with adequate and relevant appraisal systems, professional support, professional development opportunities, and resources.
  (R47ECS2008/GM1-12)

4 Recommendations

ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendations:

• Kaimahi develop a process for programme evaluation to improve the quality of programme delivery
• The whānau seek support for kaimahi to enhance assessment practices for children, and review the current appraisal process.

When is ERO likely to evaluate the kōhanga reo again?

The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kaha Nui ā Tiki will be in three years.
