Is it true that even teachers get assessed on their cultural understanding? Right here, in front of us, stands Papakowhai School. It might look like a typical primary school, but it holds a fascinating secret. Back in 2014, Papakowhai School embarked on a remarkable journey. They decided to take a long, hard look at how well they were supporting the success of their Māori students. Their tool for this self-reflection? The MASAM self-review framework. The framework uses five cultural competencies from Tãtaiako, a set of guidelines for culturally responsive teaching. Now, imagine being a teacher at Papakowhai School. Every term, you focus on one or two of these competencies, figuring out where you currently stand and gathering evidence to back it up. The framework isn’t about pointing fingers; it’s about encouraging teachers to continuously learn and grow. It’s about fostering a more inclusive and culturally responsive learning environment for all their students. Papakowhai School shows us that education goes beyond textbooks and classrooms. It’s about understanding, respecting, and celebrating the unique cultural identities of every student.
