Kaupapa Maori Principles considered in implementing my change

KAUPAPA MāORI PRINCIPLES

Considering that my target student group comprises Maori and pacifica students,it would be important to get the blessing of my maori parents demonstrating Aroha ( love and respect) for their culture by following the Kaupapa Maori principles throughout the implementation of my changed pedagogy. This  would also stress the importance of kaupapa by working together with parents so that collectively we can raise student achievement.

The following principles have been selected from a list by Rangahau (1990) and I have deliberately decided to use a table to explain how these principles would guide my change. Furthermore, being a multimodal assignment topic, what better way than to use different modes of communication.
