Quality I & M programmes

An induction and mentoring programme is not a hierarchical structure, Rather, it is a collaborative approach between two or more teachers to explore, trial, question, reflect on, & evaluate ways of teaching to develop effective students learning. It involves sharing & demonstrating rather than instructing, and discussing rather than telling.

Culturally Responsive Pedagogy

Gay (2000) defines culturally responsive teaching as:

Using the cultural knowledge, prior knowledge, prior experiences, & performance styles of diverse students to make the learning more appropriate & effective for them: it teaches to and through the strength of these students.

Gay (2000) also describes culturally responsive teaching as having these

characteristics:• It acknowledges the legitimacy of the cultural

heritages of different ethnic groups, both as legacies that affect students’ dispositions, attitudes, & approaches to learning & as worthy content to be taught in the formal curriculum

• It builds bridges of meaningfulness between home & school experiences as well as between academic abstractions & lived sociocultural realities

Gay (2000) also describes culturally responsive teaching as having these

characteristics :• It uses a wide variety of instructional strategies

that are connected to different learning styles• It teaches students to know & praise their own &

each others’ cultural heritages• It incorporates multicultural information,

resources, and materials in all subjects & skills routinely taught in schools.

RTC overarching statements1. Teachers play a critical role in enabling the

educational achievement of all akonga/ learners.2. The Treaty of Waitangi extends equal status & rights

to Maori & Pakeha. This places a particular responsibility on all teachers in Aotearoa /New Zealand to promote equitable learning outcomes.

3. In an increasingly multi-cultural Aotearoa New Zealand , teachers need to be aware of and respect the languages, heritages and cultures of all akonga.

4. In Aotearoa /New Zealand, the Code of Ethics commits registered teachers to the highest standards of professional service in promoting the learning of those they teach.
