Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā hapū me ngā iwi.
Ko Koutu te marae
Ko Tūmahaurangi te whare tupuna
Ko Karenga te wharekai
Ko Ngāti Karenga te hapū
Ko Ngāti Whakaue te iwi
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Koutu ki te marae o Te Koutu, ki Rotorua. I tēnei wā, kei te arotahi te whānau ki te tautoko i ngā kaimahi hou i roto i ō rātou tūranga. I kitea ki te aromātai Mana Whakahaere a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te Haratua o te tau 2022, kei te whakaratohia e Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Koutu te taiao e pou herea ai ngā whakahaeretanga katoa ki te whanaungatanga.
Ka whakapuakihia e ngā mokopuna te whanaungatanga mā te papai o ā rātou taunekeneke me ō rātou hononga ki ētahi atu.
Ka rumakina ngā mokopuna ki ngā akoranga e whakakoia ana i ō rātou hononga ki te whānau, ki te hapū, ā, ki te iwi hoki. Ka ārahi, ka whakatauira hoki ngā kaumātua me ngā kuia i ngā tikanga me ngā kawa o te marae, i a rātou e pōwhiri ana i ngā manuhiri. Ka rongo ngā mokopuna i te reo ōkawa i aua wā, ā, ka whai wāhi atu rātou ki ngā tini āhuatanga katoa o te pōwhiri. Ka rongo ngā mokopuna i te reo Māori i ngā horopaki ōkawa me ngā horopaki ōpaki. Ka hāpai ngā kaimahi i te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā mokopuna mā te toro atu ki ngā rautaki pērā i ngā whaikōrero, ngā tauparapara, ngā waiata, ngā pātai, te whāngai kupu, me te tohutohu. Ka whakaritea e ngā kaimahi ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te taki i ō rātou ake whakapapa, me te kōrero mō tō rātou tūrangawaewae. Kua whakatakotohia e ngā kaimahi ngā mahinga o ia rā, hei hāpai i ngā taunekeneke a ngā mokopuna ki waenga i a rātou anō. Ka ngākau nui ngā mokopuna ki te ako i ō rātou whakapapa.
Ka whakatauira ngā kaimahi i ngā hononga manaaki ki tētahi taiao ako e tautoko ana i ngā mokopuna. Ka whakamihia, ka ākina hoki i ia te wā, ā, he rautaki ēnei a ngā kaimahi ki te whakatairanga ake i te ngākau titikaha o ngā mokopuna. Ka whai pūtake ngā taumahi, ā, ka akiaki i te ako ngātahi a te tuakana me te teina. He ngāwari ngā kaimahi, ā, ka manaaki hoki. He pai te taunekeneke a ngā mokopuna ki ētahi atu, ā, ka kitea te hononga o te tuakana me te teina. Ka tū ngā tuākana hei pou ārahi mō ō rātou tēina, ā, ka tāwhai, ka āta whai atu hoki ngā tēina i ngā mahi a ō rātou tuākana. Ko ngā tikanga o te manaakitanga me te aroha e pou here ana i ngā taunekeneke katoa. Kei te mauritau, kei te harikoa hoki ngā mokopuna, ā, ka whai hua hoki tā rātou whakawhanaunga ki ētahi atu.
He ngāwari ngā whakawhitinga a ngā mokopuna . He māmā tā rātou whakawhiti haere i ngā wāhi ako. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki e whakaongaonga ana, e wero ana hoki i ngā mokopuna. Ka hāpai te wāhi o waho i te tūhura haere, ā, he whai wāhitanga hoki mō ngā mokopuna ki te taunekeneke me te whai hononga māoriori nei ki te ao tūroa. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā te aro ngātahi atu ki ngā whakaritenga e pou herea ai ki ngā whanaungatanga.
Ko ngā take i tautuhia ai ki te pūrongo o mua mō te whakahaeretanga o ngā kaimahi, i whakatūturuhia i te wā i haere Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ki te kōhanga reo. He pūnaha ā te whānau ki te whakahaere i ngā whakaritenga o te kōhanga reo.

ngā whakaritenga ohotata me ngā tikanga ohotata e pā ana ki te rū whenua, te ahi, te waipuke, te tai āniwhaniwha, me te mate urutā.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
whakatairanga tonu i te pūmanawa ngātahi o te whānau ki te whakapiki ake tonu i te kounga o te ako, me ngā putanga ki ngā mokopuna.

The Education Review Office (ERO) in collaboration with whānau, leaders, kaimahi and their communities develop evaluation insights that foster accountability and improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability. This report reflects their systems, operations and management practices. ERO reports provide important information for hapū and iwi.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Koutu is based at Te Marae o Te Koutu, Rotorua. Whānau are currently focused on supporting new kaimahi in their new roles. ERO’s Mana Whakahaere report of May 2022 found Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Koutu provides an environment where whanaungatanga underpins all operations.
Mokopuna express whanaungatanga through their positive interactions and relationships with others.
Mokopuna are immersed in learning that affirms their connections to whānau, hapū and iwi. Kaumātua and kuia provide leadership and role model tikanga and kawa of the marae when welcoming manuhiri. Mokopuna hear te reo ōkawa during this time and are participants in all aspects of pōwhiri. Mokopuna hear te reo Māori used in both formal and informal settings. Kaimahi support mokopuna language development by using strategies such as whaikōrero, tauparapara, waiata, questions, prompts and instructions. Kaimahi provide mokopuna with opportunities to recite their whakapapa and talk about their tūrangawaewae. Kaimahi have established daily routines to support mokopuna interactions with each other. Mokopuna enjoy learning about their whakapapa.
Kaimahi model meaningful caring relationships in a supportive learning environment. Constant praise and encouragement are strategies used by kaimahi to promote mokopuna confidence. Purposeful activities encourage tuākana and teina to learn alongside each other. Kaimahi are gentle and caring. Mokopuna interact positively with others and tuākana teina relationships are evident. Tuākana are role models for their teina who like to mimic and follow closely the actions of their tuākana. The tikanga of manaakitanga and aroha underpins all interactions. Mokopuna are settled, happy, and enjoy positive relationships with others.
Mokopuna transition practices are smooth. They move easily between learning spaces. Kaimahi use a range of strategies to stimulate and challenge mokopuna. The outdoor space enables exploration that allows mokopuna to interact and form natural relationships with the natural environment. Mokopuna benefit from collaborative practices underpinned by whanaungatanga.
Matters identified in the previous report relating to personnel management were verified during the onsite visit. The whānau have established systems in place to manage kōhanga reo operations.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
emotional safety including positive guidance and child protection
physical safety including supervision, sleep procedures, accidents, medication, excursion policy and procedures
suitable staffing including appropriate qualifications, police vetting, ratios
emergency procedures and practices for earthquakes, fire, flood, tsunami and pandemic.
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
continue to enhance the collective strength of the whānau to further increase the quality of learning and outcomes for mokopuna.

Kua mahi ngātahi Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ngā whānau, ngā kaiārahi, ngā kaimahi me ngā hapori ki te whakawhanake i ngā tirohanga aromātai e whai wāhi nui ai ki te hāpai i te kawenga takohanga me te whakapaitanga, ki te tautuhi i te ahu whakamua, ā, ki te whakapakari ake hoki i te āheinga ki te aromātai. E hāngai ana tēnei pūrongo ki ā rātou pūnaha, ki ā rātou whakaritenga, me ā rātou mahi whakahaere. Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā hapū me ngā iwi.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Koutu ki te marae o Koutu, ki Rotorua. Kua raihanatia te kōhanga reo mō ngā mokopuna 30, me te tokowaru o rātou kei raro i te rua tau te pakeke i te wā kotahi. He maha ngā whakarerekētanga ki ngā tūnga kaimahi, whai muri i te arotakenga a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te Kohi-tātea o te tau 2019. I tēnei wā, e arotahi ana ngā whānau ki te tautoko i ngā kaimahi hou, i roto i ō rātou tūranga.
E whakarato ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Koutu i tētahi taiao e pou here ana i te whanaungatanga ki te katoa o ngā whakahaeretanga.
E hāpai ana ngā mahere, te aromatawai, me te aromātai hōtaka i ngā akoranga a ngā mokopuna. He matawhānui ngā mahere, ā, kua āta whakaritea, kua āta whakatakotohia hoki. Ko ngā taumahi i whakamaheretia ai, ka whakahāngaitia ki te ako ā-rōpū, me te whakatairanga i ngā taunekeneke whai hua ki waenga i ngā mokopuna. E hāngai ana ngā aromatawai ki ngā mahere. Kua āta tuhia te ako a ngā tamariki, ā, e tohu ana i tā rātou ahu whakamua me tō rātou whakawhanaketanga, i roto i te roanga o te wā. Ka whakapuaki ngā kaimahi i ngā akoranga ki ngā hui ā-whānau e tū ai i ia te wā, ā, he kaha anō hoki te taetae atu. Ka arotahi ngā whakawhitinga kōrero ki ngā whakapaitanga i te hōtaka akoranga, ki tēnā i whai hua ai, ā, ki ngā whakaritenga hoki ka whai ake i roto i ngā mahere.

He pai ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau i te kōhanga reo. Ka whakahaere tētahi rōpū matua i ngā whakaritenga o te tari me te kōhanga reo. Nō nā noa nei rātou i arotake ai i te katoa o ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga. Ka hāngai aua tuhinga ki ngā herenga ā-ture o te wā. Kua whakahāngaitia te mahere rautaki ki Te Ara Tūāpae. Kua tautuhia e te whānau ngā whāinga o te pae tawhiti me te pae tata, hei āta whakatau i tā rātou whakatutukitanga o ngā wawata mō tō rātou kōhanga reo, me te kaupapa tonu o te kōhanga reo. Pūrongo ai te whānau i ia te wā, i tā rātou ahu whakamua ki te whakatutuki haere i ā rātou whāinga rautaki. Kua whakatakotohia tētahi tukanga arohaehae, ā, ka whakapā atu ngā kaimahi i ia te wā ki ngā akoranga ngaio e whai pānga ana ki ō rātou tūranga. Ko ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o ngā whakataunga.

E mahi ana te pouako me te whānau whānui ki te hāpai i te whakaurutanga mai o aua kaimahi ki ō rātou tūranga, me te hāpai i tō rātou whakawhanaketanga ngaio.

The Education Review Office (ERO) in collaboration with whānau, leaders, kaimahi and their communities develop evaluation insights that foster accountability and improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability. This report reflects their systems, operations and management practices. ERO reports provide important information for hapū and iwi.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Koutu is based at Koutu Marae, Rotorua. The kōhanga is licensed to cater for 30 mokopuna including eight aged less than two years of age, at any one time. There have been a number of staffing changes since the ERO’s January 2019 review. Whānau are currently focused on supporting new kaimahi in their new roles.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Koutu provides an environment where whanaungatanga underpins all operations.
Planning, assessment and programme evaluation supports mokopuna learning. Planning is detailed, well organised and documented. Planned activities are focused on group learning and promoting positive interactions among mokopuna. Assessments align to planning. Mokopuna learning is well documented and shows their progress and development over time. Kaimahi share learning at whānau hui which are held regularly and are well attended. Discussions focus on improvements to the learning programme, what worked and next steps for planning. Mokopuna benefit from focused approaches. Their learning strengths and needs are well catered for, monitored and documented.
Whānau manage the kōhanga reo well. An executive team manage administrative and operational tasks. They have recently reviewed all policies and policies. These align to current legislative requirements. The strategic plan is aligned to Te Ara Tūāpae. The whānau have identified long-term and short-term goals that ensure they achieve the aspirations of their kōhanga reo and the kaupapa of the kōhanga reo movement. Whānau regularly report on their progress towards their strategic goals. An appraisal process is in place and kaimahi regularly access professional learning that is relevant to their roles. Mokopuna are at the centre of decision making.
Recently, a number of new staff appointments have been made. The pouako and wider whānau is working to induct these new kaimahi and support their professional development in their positions. The pouako acknowledges the need to monitor their progress through appraisal and professional conversations.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
emotional safety including positive guidance and child protection
physical safety including supervision, sleep procedures, accidents, medication, excursion policy and procedures
suitable staffing including appropriate qualifications, police vetting, ratios
emergency procedures and practices for earthquakes, fire, flood, tsunami and pandemic.
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
that the whānau work with the District Office to further support new kaimahi in their roles.
