Today I meet with Marian Pearce - our Maori in the Mainstream PLD facilitatior from the University of Auckland.
The focus of my discussions with Marian was:
- to increase the level of opportunities for Te Reo and use it naturally
- to increase kupu - 1 kupu and phrase a week, use instead of English equivalent
- that every teaching moment is an opportunity to incorporate te reo/ te ao Māori
- to start the day and finish with te reo
- to have greater interchange from English to Maori as often as possible
- we discussed Keeing it small and regular
- Using Kupu and posters as prompts not just decoration
- Being open and not afraid to try - do as much as you can in maori and interchange to english when/where you’re having trouble
- Encourage social use of language not just instructional
- Have reo games for tamariki to use independently and in small groups
