Private teacher training establishment the New Zealand Tertiary College has developed a teaching and learning guide to help early childhood practitioners incorporate te reo Maori into their centres.

Chief executive Selena Fox says it’s part of the college’s commitment to bilingualism and biculturalism.

The 48 page guide draws on its successful Maori language learning resource – Te Reo Maori: He taonga mo a tatou mokopuna.

Ms Fox says it offers fresh ideas for early childhood teachers to weave te reo Maori and the country’s bicultural heritage into children’s everyday learning in authentic ways.
