Tohu for top tertiary te reo teachers
The National Centre for Tertiary Teaching Excellence – Ako Aotearoa wants to acknowledge the unsung heroes of reo Māori education.
With funding from the Ministry of Education it has created a new award for the best tertiary teachers.
Kaihautū mātauranga Māori Joseph Te Rito says tauira can directly nominate their kaiako.
“I’m calling for people out there to nominate their best te reo Māori teacher. The one who’s impacted on them most, impacted on te reo Māori revitalization if they like and to come to our website at ako.ac.nz to seek the nomination form,” he says.
Nominations close on April 16, with the winner will be announced at a ceremony at Parliament in October.
