Inspire in Education Charitable Trusts Mission
Inspire in Education Charitable Trusts Mission; through an innovative educational organisation using a kaupapa Māori approach to release the potential of Māori learners and their whānau
Every child is entitled to have a good start in life. It is not where you start in life, it is what you do with a life that determines where you end up in life, and we are blessed to be living in a country that, no matter where we start, we have opportunities so long as we believe in our self, we believe in the society and the country, and we believe that we can self-improve and educate our self as we go along. Furthermore, that is the key to success.
How powerful would our world be if we had kids who were not afraid to take risks, who were not afraid to think, and who had a champion?
Is this tough job? Yes.
Nevertheless, it is not impossible. We are born to make a difference. So, it is so essential that we put this culture back into our schools, whānau, communities, and tamariki.
So how?
Through an Effective Teaching Profile for Māori students - Inspire In Education links in with the Education Councils, TĀTAIAKO
The Effective Teaching Profile consists of six elements.
1. Project Overview
The target group is Māori students transitioning from Primary (Year 6), To Intermediate (Years 7, 8) and High School (Year 9, 10)
Key resources:
Mentoring & Pastoral Care that uses Māori contexts:
Tikanga Māori: Karakia | mihi, pepeha | whakataukī | tauparapara | waiata |stories | whakapapa
Overall Teacher Judgments:
When all of this information is brought together, it gives a clear picture of the areas where the student is progressing well and areas where more work is needed. The school provides whānau with two written reports each year to let you know how your tamariki (child) is doing concerning Ngā Whanaketanga Rumaki Māori.
These reports should help whānau understand:

1. Project Overview
The target group is Māori students transitioning from Primary (Year 6), To Intermediate (Years 7, 8) and High School (Year 9, 10)
Key resources:
- Tātaiako
- Ka Hikitia
- Te Whare Tapa Wha
- Whanaungatanga (building relationships)
- Manaakitanga (caring for each other)
- Kaitiaakitanga (looking after our planet and people)
- Wānanga (process of learning)
- Ako (reciprocal learning)
- Tuakana-Teina (supporting our younger generation)
- Tangata Whenuatanga (place-based)
Mentoring & Pastoral Care that uses Māori contexts:
Tikanga Māori: Karakia | mihi, pepeha | whakataukī | tauparapara | waiata |stories | whakapapa
- Whanaungatanga
- Manaakitanga
- Kaitiaakitanga
- Mātaiako
Overall Teacher Judgments:
- Creating the jigsaw puzzle to get an overall picture - Mātaiako will help the tauira (student’s) kaiako (teacher) make overall teacher judgments about the students learning progress.
When all of this information is brought together, it gives a clear picture of the areas where the student is progressing well and areas where more work is needed. The school provides whānau with two written reports each year to let you know how your tamariki (child) is doing concerning Ngā Whanaketanga Rumaki Māori.
These reports should help whānau understand:
- The areas where their child is doing well and the areas where more work is needed
- What kind of help their child may need with their learning and the next steps are to help their child 's progress in their learning.
