This course is taught in Te Reo Maori. It will enable teachers and educators to gain a sound knowledge of the Treaty of Waitangi, its role in the history of New Zealand and its implications for theory and practice in learning communities today. In the course, students will select a nominated area of study which will enable them to align Maori and bicultural principles to current policies and practices. Students will critically analyse the context of their practice and prepare a strategic plan which meets the needs of Maori and non-Maori in relation to the treaty partnership in their educational settings.
On successful completion of the course, students will be able to:1. Articulate the historical context, content, and significance of Te Whakaputanga and Te Tiriti o Waitangi 2. Analyse the distinctions between Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the Treaty of Waitangi, including the “principles of the treaty”, and their different interpretations and implementations3. Explain the Doctrine of Discovery and evaluate its influence on colonial structures in Aotearoa's education system4. Critique historical and contemporary Crown approaches to Te Tiriti o Waitangi in educational contexts5. Apply Indigenous perspectives of Te Tiriti o Waitangi to analyse current educational policies and practices6. Develop teaching and learning approaches that authentically uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi
