This piece of evaluative work is the second in a series. The first (Taking Stock of Māori Medium Educational Resources: Priorities, Gaps, and Futures?), focused on Reo Māori Resources in Māori-medium came out in 2017.
The project aims to gather ideas from a diversity of teachers in English-medium schools across Aotearoa about the types of reo Māori resources that will strengthen reo Māori teaching and learning. It also aims to inform future reo Māori resource development for these environments.

This resource is the result of a literature scan and a series of conversations with students and teachers from three New Zealand schools. The schools involved in this resource feature innovative learning environments (ILE). Students and teachers were asked similar questions about agency, and reviewed one another’s responses. Our approach identified ten conditions that foster agentic learners to support teachers, leaders, and learning communities to shift the ownership of learning. We hope you will use these conditions to:
explore new ideas, communicate challenges, and prompt learner focused discussions
use the ‘shifting the ownership of learning review tool’ to “take the temperature” of learner agency within your school or community
identify priorities and implement practices or systems that enable learner agency.
