Regionally allocated PLD funding

Professional learning and development

As a national provider of professional learning and development (PLD), funded by the Ministry of Education, we design and deliver PLD that meets the needs of a diverse range of learning communities throughout Aotearoa. 

Our facilitators work across Māori, Pacific, and English medium contexts. At the heart of our mahi is a focus on transforming outcomes for ākonga and whānau.

Priorities for regionally-allocated PLD

Ākonga and learning communities are at the centre of our thinking. This kaupapa shapes how we work with clients across these priority areas.

  • Cultural capability
  • Local curriculum design
  • Assessment for learning
  • Matauranga Māori and Te reo Māori
  • Marau-ā-kura
  • Aromatawai

Digital technology and fluency remains a priority in all settings.

Support could include PLD within or across your learning community, online or face-to-face facilitation, a blend of both, or coaching and mentoring.

To work with a Tātai Aho Rau Core Education facilitator on any of these priorities please contact us.

Building literacy ...outside of the box

Data shows that children today are different to 10 years ago and we need to change our practice and adapt. Taking a different approach, we explore how we need to challenge ourselves to change our practices and not put kids in a box anymore.

Dive in and explore our findings with this case study from Winton school.

An overview about the Ministry priorities

In 2021, we orchestrated a series of webinars tailored for educators, diving into the Ministry of Education national priorities. They provide invaluable insights, each is a one-hour recording of a webinar. 

He Ariā Kōkirikiri | Tātai Aho Rau Core Education's Theory of Action

He Ariā Kōkirikiri informs how we work in the facilitation space, we:

  • listen to deeply understand and get to the heart of the situation
  • use our knowledge and frameworks to design a PLD programme with you
  • work collaboratively to implement innovative and sustainable change and build capability
  • support the regular review and refining of the programme based on feedback and evolving needs
  • work as part of a focused inquiry cycle that leads to transformation.

The mangopare kōwhaiwhai motif is inspired by the twisting, turning movement of the hammerhead shark. It symbolises strength, determination, courage and growth. It shows that our work occurs as part of a cycle that leads to transformation.
