Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngaio - 17/03/2020

1 Te Horopaki

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngaio ki te hapori o Ngaio, ki Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Mai i te arotake o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te tau 2016, kua āta ahu whakamua te whānau ki te whakapai ake i ngā pūnaha o te kōhanga reo mō te whakahaeretanga me te kāwanatanga, ki te whakapakari ake i te ārahitanga me te mahi tahi, ki te hāpai ake i te whai wāhi mai a te whānau, ā, ki te tuku pūrongo hoki ki te whānau.

2 Ngā Whakaaturanga o te Aromātai

He pēhea rawa ngā tamariki e whakaatu i te whanaungatanga?

He pakari ngā tamariki ki te whakaatu i te whanaungatanga i ā rātou akoranga me ā rātou taunekeneke.

Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira

E tautāwhitia ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi wāhi e tautoko ana i a rātou. Ka whakarato te whānau i ngā whai wāhitanga e akiaki ana i te tauutuutu i roto i te whakawhanaungatanga. Ka whakatauira ngā kaimahi i te āhua o ngā hononga papai ki waenga i a rātou anō, ā, ki ngā tamariki hoki. Ka manaaki ngā tamariki tuākana i ngā tēina. He tino tauira rātou mō ngā tamariki tēina i a rātou e ārahi ana i ngā waiata me ngā karakia. Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki tō rātou manaaki, tō rātou whakaute hoki mō ō rātou hoa me ngā pakeke. Kei te harikoa, kei te pūkare hoki rātou. Whakapuakihia ai e ngā kaimahi i ngā wā katoa, ko te atawhai me te aroha mō ngā tamariki. Kei te harikoa, kei te mauritau ngā tamariki.

He pai te taunekeneke a ngā tamariki ki waenga i a rātou anō, ā, ki ngā kaimahi, te whānau, me ētahi atu pakeke hoki. Kua waihangatia e ngā kaimahi tētahi taiao e poipoi ana i te aroha, te āwhina, me te manaaki ki waenga i ngā tamariki. Ka tau wawe ngā tamariki i tā rātou taenga mai ki te kōhanga reo, ā, e manaakitia ana rātou ki te hāneanea o te noho ā-whānau. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā kupu whakamihi me ngā rautaki papai e whakatairanga ana i te ngākau titikaha o ngā tamariki ki a rātou anō, ā, ki ō rātou tuakiri hoki. Kei te tūmāia ngā tamariki.

E whanake ana te mātau o ngā tamariki ki te reo me ngā tikanga Māori. E whakapūmau ana ngā kaimahi i te harikoakoa me te rumakitanga reo Māori o te taiao ako. He pai tā rātou akiaki, tā rātou ārahi, me ā rātou mahi e whakatairanga ana i te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā tamariki. Ka kitea te mātau o ngā tamariki ki te reo Māori mā ngā tūmomo huarahi whānui. Ka aro atu rātou ki ngā tohutohu a ngā kaimahi. Ka whakapuaki māhorahora nei ā rātou whakawhitinga kōrero ki waenga i a rātou anō. Ka whakautu rātou i ngā pātai a ngā kaimahi. Ka kitea te reo ā-tinana o ngā tamariki tēina. E whanake ana te pakari o ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.

E whai wāhi atu ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e whakaongaonga ana i tā rātou ako. Ko ngā āhuatanga e noho ngākau nui ana, e noho manawa reka ana hoki ki ngā tamariki te aronga o ngā kaimahi i a rātou e whakamahere ana, e whakawhānui ana hoki i ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Ka whakarato rātou i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo wheako me ngā taumahi ki te kōhanga reo, ā, ki tua atu hoki – pērā i ngā haerenga ki te marae me te moana, me te ako i ngā āhuatanga o te mahi pāmu, tae atu hoki ki ētahi atu tūmomo kaupapa o te ao whānui tonu. Ka toro wawe atu ngā tamariki ki ō rātou taiao ako. E wātea ana rātou ki te tūhura haere i ō rātou ake ngākau nuitanga, puta noa i te rā. Kei te tūmāia ngā tamariki hei ākonga.

Ngā Whakaritenga Matua ka Whai Ake

Me whakapakari ake i te aromātai hōtaka. Kāhore te aromātai hōtaka e hāpai ana ki te whakapai ake i ngā hōtaka akoranga me te ako a ngā tamariki. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki nā ngā hōtaka akoranga e āta aromātaitia ana i ia te wā.

Te Whakamahere me te Aromātai

He pai te whakamahere i te ako a ngā tamariki. E mōhiotia ana, e whakawhānui ana hoki ngā kaupapa e noho ngākau nui ana, e noho manawa reka ana hoki ki a rātou. Ka āta whakaraupapa ngā kaiako i ngā tino whāinga ako me ngā taumahi ā-reanga e tika ana hei ārahi i te ako o ngā rōpū. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i tētahi taputapu ipurangi ki te pūrongo i ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Kua āta whakamaheretia te ako a ngā tamariki, ā, he māmā hoki mō te whānau ki te whakapā atu. E whakatutukihia ana ngā matea ako o ngā tamariki.

Kua whakapakarihia e te whānau ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki ngā mahi whakahaere me ngā mahi kāwana. Ko te hanganga o ngā ohu e hāpai ana i te whai wāhitanga o te whānau ki te uru atu me te tautoko i te kaupapa. He pai te whakahaeretanga o ngā hui ā-whānau, ā, ka āta whakaritea te noho mōhio o te whānau ki te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo me te hōtaka akoranga a ngā tamariki. E hāngai ana ngā kaupapa here katoa ki te wā, ā, e whakatutuki ana hoki i ngā herenga ā-ture. He matawhānui te mahere rautaki hukihuki i whakawhanakehia ai. E whakauka ake ana te whānau i ngā pūnaha me ngā whakaritenga. E whai hua ana ngā tamariki nā te kaha o te whānau whakahaere.

Ngā Whakaritenga Matua ka Whai Ake

Kāhore anō te tūtohinga a te kōhanga reo kia arotakengia. Me tahuri i nāianei ki te whakahou ake i te tūtohinga kia hāngai ake ai ki ngā wawata o tēnei whānau tonu.

3 Te Whakatau a te Whānau ki ngā Wāhanga Tautukunga

1 Context

Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngaio is in Ngaio, Wellington. Since the last ERO review in 2016, the whānau has made good progress improving kōhanga systems of management and governance, growing leadership and collaboration, and involving and reporting to whānau.

2 The Evaluation Findings

How do children display whanaungatanga?

Children confidently display whanaungatanga in their learning and interactions.

Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira

Children are embraced in a supportive environment. Whānau provide opportunities that encourage reciprocal relationships. Kaimahi model positive relationships with tamariki and each other. Older children demonstrate care for teina. They provide good models for younger children as they lead activities such as waiata and karakia. Children demonstrate care and respect for their peers and adults. They are happy and expressive. Kaimahi constantly show care and compassion for children. Children are happy and settled.

Children interact positively with each other and with kaimahi, whānau and other adults. Kaimahi create an environment that nurtures aroha, āwhina and manaaki amongst children. Children settle quickly on arrival and are cared for in a comfortable whānau environment. Kaimahi use praise and positive strategies to promote children’s confidence in themselves and their identity. Children are confident.

Children are developing competence in te reo and tikanga Māori. Kaimahi maintain a happy reo Māori immersion learning environment. They positively encourage, guide and extend children’s language development. Children show their competence in te reo in many ways. They respond to instructions from kaimahi. They converse with each other spontaneously. They answer kaimahi questions. Younger use non-verbal language. Children are developing as confident speakers of te reo Māori.

Children experience an environment that stimulates learning. Kaimahi use children’s interests and curiosities to plan for and extend children’s learning. They provide a variety of experiences and activities within and beyond the kōhanga reo, such as trips to marae, moana and learning about farming and other wider world activities. Children readily engage with their learning environments. They are free to explore their interests during the day. Children are confident learners.

Key Next Steps

Programme evaluation needs strengthening. It does not inform improvement to the learning programmes and to children’s learning. Children will benefit from programmes of learning that are regularly evaluated.

Planning and Evaluation

Children’s learning is well planned for. Their interests and curiosities are known and extended. Kaiako identify clear learning goals and age appropriate activities to guide group learning. Kaimahi are use an online tool for reporting children’s learning. Children’s learning is well planned and readily accessible to whanau. Children’s learning needs are addressed.

The whānau has strengthened management and governance practices. The ohu structure provides increased opportunity for whānau involvement and engagement. Whānau meetings are well run and ensure whānau are informed about the kōhanga operation and children’s learning programme. All policies are up to date and aligned with legislation. A comprehensive draft strategic plan has been developed. Whānau are building more sustainable systems and practices. Children benefit from strong whānau whakahaere.

Key Next Steps

The kōhanga charter has not been reviewed. It now needs updating to align with the aspirations of current whānau.

3 Whānau Management Assurance on Compliance Areas

During the evaluation, ERO looked at the kōhanga reo systems for managing the following areas that have a potentially high impact on children's wellbeing:

  • emotional safety (including positive guidance and child protection)
  • physical safety (including supervision; sleep procedures; accidents; medication; hygiene; excursion policies and procedures)
  • suitable staffing (including qualification levels; police vetting; teacher registration; ratios)
  • evacuation procedures and practices for fire and earthquake.

All kōhanga reo are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance with legal requirements.

4 Recommendation

ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendation:

  • continue to strengthen internal evaluation knowledge and practice to inform improvement.

5 When is ERO likely to evaluate the kōhanga reo again?

The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngaio will be in three years.

1 Te Horopaki

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngaio ki te tāone o Ngaio, ki Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Koia nei anake te kōhanga reo ki tēnei takiwā.

Mai i te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kua pā mai ētahi rerekētanga ki ngā tūranga kaimahi me te whānau. Kua noho pūmau tonu te kounga o te reo Māori me te poipoi i te ako a ngā tamariki. Engari, me whakapakari ake i te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo hei āta whakarite i tōna whakatinanatanga ki te whānuitanga o ngā whakahaeretanga.

2 Ngā Whakaaturanga o te Arotake

Ka kitea te tūmāia o ngā tamariki hei ākonga ki te kōhanga reo.

Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira

Ka ako ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e tautoko ana i a rātou. Ka mahi ngā kaiako ki te taha o ngā tamariki mā ngā huarahi e poipoi ana, e manaaki ana hoki i a rātou. Kua waia ngā tamariki ki ngā mahinga o ia rā. Ka ākina rātou kia tiaki i ngā rauemi ako me te taiao ako. Ka akiaki ngā kaiako i ngā tamariki ki te noho hei ākonga pākiki ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taumahi e whakaratohia ana i te hōtaka akoranga. Ka taunekeneke ngā tamariki hei tuakana, hei teina ki te hōtaka o ia rā. Ka tautokona ngā tuākana kia whanake ai ā rātou kawenga ki te ārahi. Ka whakatauira ngā kaiako i ngā uaratanga o te mahi tahi, te manaaki, me te aroha. He ākonga harikoa ngā tamariki.

Ka tautoko ngā kaiako i ngā tamariki kia ako mai i ō rātou hoa, ā, he whai wāhitanga hoki mō ngā tamariki tuākana ki te ārahi i ētahi atu. He tino tauira ngā tuākana mō ngā tēina. He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki te ako ā-whānau.

Ka tūhura ngā tamariki i te reo mā tētahi taiao reo Māori pai. Kua whakatōngia e ngā kaiako te reo Māori hei reo whakawhiti kōrero puta noa i te kōhanga reo.

Te Whakamahere me te Aromātai

He pai te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo mō ngā tamariki. Kua whakawhanakehia, kua whakatinanahia hoki e te whānau tētahi aronga rautaki i āta tuhia ai ki te mahere pakihi a te kōhanga reo. Kua āta tāutuhia ngā kaupapa matua o te wā poto me te wā roa. Ka arotahi ngā hui ā-whānau ki te ahu whakamua i roto i te taiao o waho me ngā matea ako o ngā tamariki. He mārama ngā aratohu me ngā tukanga ka hāpai ai i te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo i ia rā. Ka hāngai ngā whakataunga a te whānau ki ngā tino painga mō ngā tamariki. E tino tautokona ana ngā tamariki hei ākonga.

Ka āta whakaarohia ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. He anga whakamahere ā ngā kaiako e ārahi ana i ā rātou whakaritenga, ā, e hāngai ana ki ngā wāhanga matua i tāutuhia ai o ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Ka mahi ngātahi rātou ki te tātari i ngā kaupapa mō te wāhanga me ngā whāinga ako a ngā tamariki. Ka whakamahi ia kaiako i aua mōhiohio ki te whakamahere i ngā mahi a ia rōpū i whakaritea ai i runga anō i ngā reanga o ngā tamariki me ō rātou matea whakawhanaketanga. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki nā ngā hōtaka i āta whakamaheretia ai.

Ka whakamahi ngā kaiako i te aromātai hōtaka hei tāutu i ngā huarahi ki te whakapai i ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Ko te nuinga o ngā kaiako e whakatakoto ana i ō rātou whakaaro huritao, ā, e whakamahere ana hoki i ngā taumahi ka hāpai i ngā taumata ako ka whāia tonuhia e ngā tamariki. Ka whakawhiti kōrero, ka whakapuaki whakaaro, ka tāutu hoki ngā kaiako i ngā whakapaitanga ako mā ngā tamariki.

Ngā Whakaritenga Matua ka Whai Ake

Kāhore te whakahaeretanga a te whānau e āta kitea ana ki te kōhanga reo. Ahakoa ka arotahi te whānau ki te whakamahere mō meāke nei, me te whakatutuki i ngā tino painga mō ngā tamariki, e mōhio ana rātou e tika ana, kia aro ake anō hoki ki te āhua o te whai wāhi mai.

Kei te whanake tonu te arotake whaiaro. Ahakoa ka arotahi ngā hui ā-whānau ki te kōkiri whakamua i ngā kaupapa matua i tāutuhia ai, kāhore aua mōhiohio e āta whakaemihia ana, e āta aroturukitia ana, ā, e āta tuhia ana hoki.

Me whakapai ake te aromātai hōtaka. He whai wāhitanga mō ngā kaimahi ki te whakaaro huritao me te aroturuki hoki i te kounga o ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki, engari kāhore anō ō rātou whakaaro mō te whakapai ake i te hōtaka kia āta whakatinanahia. Me ngātahi ake te āhua o ngā mahi.

Evaluation

Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngaio is in Ngaio, Wellington. Children are confident learners and speakers of te reo Māori. Children learn in a supportive environment. Children explore language in a supportive environment. Safety and whānaungatanga are firmly embedded in the daily programme. Whānau are aware of areas of improvement.

The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngaio will be in three years.

1 Context

Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngaio is in Ngaio, Wellington. It is the only kōhanga reo in the local area.

Since the previous ERO report there have been changes to staff and whānau. The quality of te reo Māori and care for children’s learning has been maintained. However the kaupapa of kōhanga reo needs to be strengthened to ensure it is reflected in the overall operations.

2 The Review Findings

How well do children show confidence as learners in their kōhanga reo?

Children show they are confident learners in the kōhanga reo.

Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira

Children learn in a supportive environment. Kaiako work with children in a nurturing and caring way. Children are familiar with daily routines. They are encouraged to care for learning resources and the learning environment. Kaiako encourage children to be curious learners in the range of activities provided in the learning programme. Children interact as tuakana and teina in the daily programme. The tuakana are supported to develop leadership responsibilities. Kaiako model values of mahi tahi, manaaki and aroha. Children are happy learners.

Children experience a positive learning environment. Whanaungatanga is an integral part of children’s learning. Kaiako support children to learn from each other and provide opportunity for older children to lead others. Tuakana are positive role models for teina. Children enjoy learning as whānau.

Children explore language in a positive te reo Māori environment. Kaiako have embedded te reo Māori as the language of communication throughout the kōhanga reo. Most kaiako are confident speakers, who use a variety of strategies to develop and extend children’s language. Children initiate conversations with peers and kaiako. These are opportunities for kaimahi to positively extend and model for children. Children are well supported to learn te reo Māori.

Planning and Evaluation

The kōhanga reo is well managed for children. The whānau developed and implemented a strategic direction that is well documented in the kōhanga reo business plan. Short term and long term priorities are clearly identified. Whānau meetings focus on progress with the physical environment and children’s learning needs. There are clear guidelines and processes to assist the daily kōhanga reo operations. Whānau focus their decision making on best outcomes for children. Children are well supported as learners.

Children’s learning is carefully considered. Kaiako have a planning framework that guides their practice and is based on key areas identified for children’s learning. They work together to determine kaupapa for the term with learning objectives for children. Individual kaiako use this information to plan for groups that are organised according to children’s ages and developmental needs. Children benefit from well-planned programmes.

Kaiako use programme evaluation to identify how to improve learning for children. Most kaiako record reflections and plan activities that support children’s next steps for learning. Kaiako discuss, share and identify learning improvements for children. Children’s interests in learning are carefully considered and included in planning.

Children’s learning is monitored well. Kaiako have developed useful templates as a tool for assessing learning. Profiles are used to gather information about children in a variety of learning contexts. Kaiako share this information with whānau.

Key Next Steps

Whānau management is not well reflected in the kōhanga reo. Although whānau are focused on forward planning and achieving best outcomes for children, they acknowledge that further attention needs to be given to the extent of participation.

Internal evaluation is developing. Although whānau meetings are focused on progressing identified priorities, this information is not gathered, monitored and recorded well.

Programme evaluation needs to be improved. Kaimahi have opportunities to reflect and monitor the quality of learning for children however, their ideas about improving the programme are yet to be fully implemented. A more cohesive team approach is required.

3 Whānau Management Assurance on Compliance Areas

During the review, ERO looked at the kōhanga reo systems for managing the following areas that have a potentially high impact on children's wellbeing:

  • emotional safety (including positive guidance and child protection)
  • physical safety (including supervision; sleep procedures; accidents; medication; hygiene; excursion policies and procedures)
  • suitable staffing (including qualification levels; police vetting; teacher registration; ratios)
  • evacuation procedures and practices for fire and earthquake.

All kōhanga reo are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance with legal requirements.

  • Records show the type of food provided, and are available for inspection for 3 months after the food is served.

4 Recommendation

ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendations:

That the whānau seek assistance from the Purapura and local District Kōhanga Reo Kaupapa Kaimahi to:

  • develop a programme of support for leadership with the implementation of Te Whāriki
  • assist with aligning strategic planning to Te Ara Tūāpae.

Conclusion

Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngaio is in Ngaio, Wellington. Children are confident learners and speakers of te reo Māori. Children learn in a supportive environment. Children explore language in a supportive environment. Safety and whānaungatanga are firmly embedded in the daily programme. Whānau are aware of areas of improvement.

When is ERO likely to review the kōhanga reo again?

The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngaio will be in three years.
