Whakamanahia Te Reo Māori Research Programme 2008 – 2009
The Council has embarked on a research project to investigate issues in the initial teacher education (ITE) programmes that prepare teachers for Māori medium settings in schools and early childhood education. This project originated from the Council's Māori Medium Advisory Group and aims to enhance Māori language proficiency levels of these graduates. The first report, a description of current programmes and issues, was released in December 2008. The second step will be the commissioning of a literature review and language needs analysis for graduates of Māori medium ITE programmes.
