For the first episode of the Ōtākaro Kōrero Podcast we were joined by Dr Melanie Riwai-Couch from Evaluation Associates and Tufulasi Taleni from the University of Canterbury. With the impact of the Covid-19 Lockdown being felt around the world, it is important for schools to listen to the voices of our Māori and Pasifika whānau. In this episode, we discuss how it important, now more than ever, that educators can engage authentically with whānau and co-create the educational environment for our students.
