Summary
IntroductionThe Graduate Diploma in Māori Language and Pedagogies: Aumiri Pounamu (GradDipMLP) provides provisionally certified and practising kaiako teachers with the confidence to be educators of te ao Māori.
Our programme will help guide you to embed Māori knowledge and culture into your teaching at early, primary, and secondary schools. This includes te reo, tikanga Māori traditional culture, Aotearoa New Zealand history, and mātauranga Māori worldviews, such as sustainability and our role as kaitiaki protectors of the land.
