View on mapKua 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 Ōtāne ki Ōtāne, ki te pokapū o Te Matau-a-Māui. He hou te tino nuinga o ngā whānau whakahaere me ngā kaimahi ki ō rātou tūranga, whai muri i te arotakenga o Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te kōhanga reo i te marama o Whiringa-ā-rangi, i te tau 2016. Nō tēnei tau noa te rōpū kaimahi i whakakao kotahi mai. Ka tautokona, ka arahina rātou e te kaiwhakahaere SELO. Nō nā noa nei tētahi kaiwhakahaere tari hou i whakatūngia ai.
E poipoia ana te waiora o ngā mokopuna me tā rātou ahu whakamua, mā tētahi taiao ako papai e whakatinana ana i te whanaungatanga.
Kua āta tautokona te kōhanga reo me ngā kaimahi e ngā whānau o ngā kōhanga reo o te rohe ki te whakapai ake i ngā whakahaeretanga o ia rā ki te kōhanga reo, mō meāke nei. Kua whai pānga te tautoko SELO ki te whakahoutanga ake o te tūtohinga. Kua tīmatahia te whakatinanatanga o ngā mahere rautaki me ngā mahere ā-tau. He kaupapa here tā te kōhanga reo i nāianei, mō te reo Māori. Ko tētahi aronga, ko te whakapakari i te reo Māori o ngā kaimahi, o te whānau, me ngā mokopuna.
I arotakengia ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga i tēnei tau. Ka whai wāhi ki aua tūāhuatanga, ko ngā herenga ā-ture, ā, ka hāngai ki te pūtake, ka āta ārahi hoki i ngā whakaritenga a ngā kaimahi. He kawenga takohanga ā ngā kaimahi mō te hauora me te haumaru ā-tinana, ā-whatumanawa tonu o ngā mokopuna.
E pou here ana te whanaungatanga i te huarahi e whāia ana hei whakapakari ake i ngā mōhiotanga me ngā pūkenga o ngā kaimahi. Kua whakatakotohia tētahi tukanga arohaehae e tāutu ana i ngā pūmanawa me ngā matea o ia kaimahi. E whai wāhi atu ana ngā kaimahi ki tētahi hōtaka pou ārahi ki te taha o te kaiwhakarato SELO me ngā kaimahi nō ētahi atu o ngā kōhanga reo o tō rātou purapura. E arotahi ana rātou ki te whakapai ake i ā rātou whakaritenga, hei whakatairanga ake i te waiora o ngā mokopuna me tā rātou ako.
Kua tīmata ngā kaimahi ki te whakatinana i tētahi tukanga whakamahere i āta whakakaupapatia ai. Kei te tāutu tētahi mahere ā-tau i ngā wheako akoranga i whakahāngaitia ai ki ngā putanga o Te Whāriki e wawatahia ana. E hāngai ana ngā mahere ā-wāhanga, ā-wiki hoki ki ngā kaupeka o te tau, ā, ka hono hoki ki ngā atua Māori. E hāpai ana taua angamahi i te whakatinanatanga o ngā kaimahi i tētahi hōtaka o ia rā e tautāwhitia ana ngā mokopuna ki te whanaungatanga, mā te noho tahi a te tuakana me te teina, me te poipoi i ngā hononga whakaute ki ngā kaimahi. E mahi ngātahi ana ngā kaimahi ki te whakamahere me te whakawhanake i tētahi taiao e āta poipoi ana i te waiora o ngā mokopuna me tā rātou ako.
E whanake tonu ana ngā whakaritenga aromatawai. E whakaahu ana ngā pūkete a ia mokopuna, hei rauemi e āta kapo atu ana i ngā hononga papai o ngā mokopuna, ā, i tā rātou tūhura mātātoa i te taiao ako me ngā taumahi.
Ko tētahi whakaritenga matua ka whai ake, ko te whakapakari tonu i te āheinga o ngā kaimahi me te whānau ki te kōrero i te reo Māori, kia riro ai i ngā mokopuna ngā whai wāhitanga i ia te wā ki te rongo me te whakamahi i te reo Māori, ā, kia noho rumaki hoki rātou.
E tika ana, kia whakariterite i te tauatanga o te whānau whakahaere, hei whakamauru i ngā tūraru o te tīni haere i ngā tūranga o ngā kaimahi, ā, hei āta whakatau i te noho mārama o ngā whānau katoa ki ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga, kia whai pūtake ake ai tā rātou whai wāhi atu, ā, hei hāpai hoki i te noho kotahi o te whānau.
E ai ki ngā whānau i kōrero ki Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te wā o te aromātai, ko tētahi kaupapa matua, ko te whakapai ake i ngā whakawhitinga kōrero ki te whānau whānui. Me rapu huarahi tonu te whānau whakahaere ki te hāpai i te whai wāhi nui o ngā whānau katoa ki ngā whakataunga e pā ana ki te whakahaeretanga, ki ngā whakaritenga, ā, ki te ahunga whakamua hoki o te kōhanga reo mō meāke nei.
Me haere tonu te tautoko tonutanga o te SELO me te purapura, hei whakawhanake ake i te aromātai hōtaka, ā, hei whakatō, hei whakapūmau hoki i ngā whakaritenga papai e whakatairanga ana i ngā putanga ki ngā mokopuna.
I te wā o te arotake, i tirohia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha ki te whakahaere i ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei, arā, ki:
Kīhai Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i tāutu i ētahi take āwangawanga i tēnei wāhanga o te aromātai.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo ngā taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:

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 Ōtane is in Ōtane in Central Hawkes Bay. Almost all whānau whakahaere and kaimahi are new to their roles since ERO reviewed the kōhanga in November 2016. The kaimahi team have only been together this year. They receive support and guidance from a Strengthening Early Learning Opportunities Programme (SELO) facilitator. A new administrator has recently been appointed.
Mokopuna wellbeing and progress are nurtured in a positive learning environment that embodies whanaungatanga.
The kōhanga and kaimahi have been well-supported by Te Kōhanga Reo rohe whānau to improve the day-to-day operations of the kōhanga moving forward. SELO support has included updating Te Tutohinga. Strategic and annual planning are in the early stages of implementation. The kōhanga now has a Te Reo Māori policy. Building kaimahi, whānau and mokopuna te reo Māori is a focus.
A review and of policies and procedures took place this year. They take account of legislative requirements, are fit for purpose and provide good guidance for kaimahi practice. Kaimahi are accountable for the physical and emotional health and safety of mokopuna.
Whanaungatanga underpins the approach to building kaimahi knowledge and skills. An appraisal process is in place that identifies individual’s strengths and needs. Kaimahi are involved in a mentorship programme with the SELO provider and kaimahi from other kōhanga in their purapura. They are focused on improving their practice to enhance the wellbeing and learning of mokopuna.
Kaimahi are in the early stages of implementing a coherent planning process. A yearly plan identifies learning experiences aligned to the desired outcomes of Te Whāriki, the early childhood curriculum. Termly and weekly planning aligns to the seasons and link to Atua Māori. This framework supports kamahi to implement a daily programme where mokopuna are embraced by whanaungatanga through tuakana/teina experiences and nurturing respectful relationships with kaimahi. Kaimahi are working collaboratively to plan and develop an environment conducive to mokopuna wellbeing and learning.
Assessment practice continues to evolve. Mokopuna individual portfolios are developing as a successful means of capturing the positive relationships mokopuna encounter, and their active exploration of the learning environment and activities.
Continuing to build kaimahi and whānau capability to speak te reo Māori so mokopuna are provided with regular opportunities to hear, use and be immersed in te reo Māori is a priority next step.
Whānau whakahaere succession planning is necessary to mitigate the risks of kaimahi turnover, and to ensure all whānau understand their roles and responsibilities so that their contribution and involvement is more meaningful and inclusive.
Whānau who spoke with ERO during the evaluation recognise improving communication with the wider whānau is a priority. Whānau whakahaere should continue to seek ways to enable all whānau to fully participate in decisions related to the management, operation and future direction of the kōhanga.
Continue the ongoing support through the SELO and purapura to further develop programme evaluation, and to embed and sustain the good practices that enhance outcomes for mokopuna.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
ERO did not identify any material concerns during this phase of the evaluation.
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendations:

Ka whakahaeretia tētahi arotake tāpiri i runga o te whakataunga ā te Kaiurungi Whakaturuki Arotake Māori i Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga.
E aromātai ana te arotake tāpiri i te whānuitanga me te whai hua o ngā mahi ā te kōhanga reo ki te whakatutuki i ngā take i whakatakotohia ai i roto i te arotake mātauranga o mua atu i tēnei, me ētahi atu wāhanga rānei kua tāutuhia whai muri o taua arotake.
Ko tēnei arotake tāpiri i whakaritea i runga o te aromātai o te whakatutukitanga a te whānau i te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo, ki ngā wāhanga i tāutuhia ai e te pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, i mua atu, me ngā take rānei kua tāutuhia whai muri o taua arotake. Ko ngā whakataunga mō ngā whakapuakitanga e pā ana ki tēnei arotake, ko te titiro ki:
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōtane ki te tāone iti o Ōtane, ki te Matau-a-Māui. I tāutu te pūrongo o mua i ngā take i hāngai ai ki ētahi āhuatanga matua o ngā whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo, tae atu ki te whai wāhi a te whānau, te whakahaere i te pūtea, te arohaehae i ngā kaimahi, te aromātai hōtaka, te aromatawai, me ngā mahi e pā ana ki te arotake whaiaro. Ahakoa kua piki ake te whai wāhi mai o te whānau, he tokomaha tonu o te whānau kāhore e hiahia ana ki te whai wāhi ki ngā whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Kei te rapu tonu ngā mema mātātoa o te whānau i ngā huarahi ka akiaki i te whai wāhi mai a te whānau katoa ki ngā whakataunga katoa e pā ana ki te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo.
I whakapuaki te pūrongo o mua i ngā āwangawanga mō te whakahaeretanga o ngā pūtea i te kōhanga reo. Kua āta mahi te tari ā-rohe o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo ki te taha o te whānau, ki te whakatakoto i ngā pūnaha ka aroturuki i ngā pūtea o te kōhanga reo. He tahua tā te whānau i nāianei, ā, ka ārahi tēnei i tā rātou toha pūtea. Ka whakatakotohia ngā pūrongo pūtea ki ngā hui ā-whānau o ia marama. I nāianei, he mātau ngā whakataunga pūtea a te whānau, ā, e whakatutuki ana ēnei i ngā painga mō ngā tamariki, me ō rātou matea.
Ko tētahi atu āhuatanga hei tirohanga i mua, ko ngā mahi i hāngai ai ki te aromatawai. Kīhai ngā aromatawai i āta whakapuaki i te ako a ngā tamariki, me tā rātou ahu whakamua. Kua pai ake ngā mahi aromatawai i nāianei, ā, e whakaatu ana i te maha ake o ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Ka whakatakoto ngā kaimahi i te whakamahinga a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori. Tohua ai e rātou ngā mahi a ngā tamariki ki te rā i ngā wā katoa, kia āhei ai te whānau ki te aroturuki i te ahu whakamua a ngā tamariki me tō rātou whakawhanaketanga, i roto i te roanga o te wā.
I tāutuhia hoki, i te ngoikore te whakatinanatanga o te kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te aromātai. I te whāiti noa ngā whakawhitinga kōrero e pā ana ki ngā kaupapa ako me ngā āhuatanga o te hōtaka akoranga. I nāianei, ka whiwhi te whānau i ngā mōhiohio ki ngā hui o ia marama, ā, e hāngai pū ana tēnei ki tēnā e whakatutukihia ana, e ākona ana hoki e ngā tamariki i ia te wā. He pai kē atu te āheinga o ngā kaimahi ki te whakapiki ake i te aromātai o te hōtaka i nāianei, kia arotahi ai ki tēnā e whai hua ana, me tēnā hei whakapai ake, hei whakatairanga ake i te kounga o te hōtaka mō ngā tamariki.
E ai ki te pūrongo o mua, nā te whāiti o te aroturuki me te pūrongo i ngā whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo, i te ngoikore anō hoki te arotake whaiaro. I nāianei, ka whakawhiti kōrero, ka tuhi, ka aroturuki hoki te whānau i ngā pūtea me ngā āhuatanga matua o te hōtaka akoranga. He whānui ngā tūmomo take e kōrerohia ana, e tuhia ana hoki mō te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Ka whakapau kaha te whānau, hei āta whakarite i te whai huatanga o ngā whakataunga katoa mō te waiora o ngā tamariki.
I kitea i te wā o te arotake o mua, kīhai anō ngā arohaehae a ngā kaimahi kia oti. He pai te ahu whakamua i roto i tēnei āhuatanga i nāianei. He mārama te tukanga arohaehae i whakaritea ai. Kua oti te katoa o ngā arohaehae whaiaro. Kua whakatakotohia e ngā kaimahi ngā whāinga ngaio. Ka whakarato i te whakawhanaketanga ngaio e tika ana, hei āta whakarite i te whakatairanga ake o ngā mōhiotanga me ngā pūkenga o ngā kaimahi, kia tutuki ai ngā matea ako o ngā tamariki katoa.
Kāhore anō te whānau kia whakawhanake i tētahi mahere rautaki. Kua whakarārangi rātou i ngā kaupapa matua, engari kāhore anō kia kōkiri whakamua tonu i tēnei kaupapa. Kia āhei ai te whānau ki te whakatau i te rōnakitanga o te kōhanga reo mō te pae tawhiti, e tika ana kia whakaritea ngā whāinga me ngā tūmanako, ā, kia kōkirihia hoki tētahi mahere mahi. Ka āta whakarite te mahere mahi i te aronga nahanaha ki te whakatutuki i ngā wawata o te whānau.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
whakawhanake, kia aroturuki, kia pūrongo hoki te whānau i te mahere rautaki.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōtane ki Te Matau-a-Māui. He pai ngā mahi a te whānau ki te whakatika i ngā wāhanga i whakaraupapahia ai ki te pūrongo o mua hei take āwangawanga. He pai tō rātou tūnga i nāianei ki te ahu whakamua me te whakapai tonu i te whakahaeretanga me ngā whakaritenga ki te kōhanga reo.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōtane i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

A supplementary review is undertaken at the discretion of the Deputy Chief Review Officer Māori in the Education Review Office (ERO).
A supplementary review evaluates the extent and effectiveness of actions a kōhanga reo has taken towards addressing issues specified in its previous ERO review and/or any additional areas identified since that review.
This supplementary review is based on an evaluation of the performance of the kōhanga reo governing body and management in relation to areas identified in the previous ERO report or issues identified since that review. The terms of reference for this review are to investigate:
Planning and evaluation including whānau management
And any issue identified since the previous report
Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōtane is in the small town of Ōtane in the Hawkes Bay. The previous review identified concerns with key aspects of kōhanga reo operations including whānau involvement, financial management, kaimahi appraisals, programme evaluation and assessment and self-review practices. While whānau participation has increased, there still remains a number of whānau who choose not to be involved in kōhanga reo operations. Active whānau members continue to seek ways to encourage full whānau participation in all decisions related to the management of the kōhanga reo.
The previous report expressed concerns about the management of kōhanga reo finances. The District Te Kōhanga Reo Office has worked closely with the whānau to put in place systems to monitor the kōhanga reo finances. The whānau now have a budget that guides their spending. Financial reports are presented to monthly whānau hui. The whānau now make wise financial decisions that meets the interests and needs of the children.
Assessment practices required attention. Assessments did not clearly articulate children’s learning and progress. Assessment practice has improved and shows more information about children’s learning. Kaimahi record children’s use of te reo Māori. They consistently enter dates to children’s work to enable whānau to monitor children’s progress and development overtime.
It was identified that the implementation of evaluation policy and procedures was weak. Discussions about kaupapa ako and aspects of the learning programme were limited. Whānau now receive relevant information at monthly hui about what children do and what they learn on a regular basis. Kaimahi are better positioned to now increase programme evaluation to focus on what worked well and what requires improvement in order to raise the quality of the programme for children.
The previous report claimed that limited monitoring and reporting on kōhanga reo operations weakened self-review. Whānau now discuss, record and monitor finances and key aspects of the learning programme. A wide range of issues related to the management of the kōhanga reo are discussed and documented. Whānau work to ensure that all decisions made benefit children’s wellbeing.
During the previous review, it was found that kaimahi appraisals were incomplete. Good progress has been made in this area. There is a clear appraisal process in place. All self-appraisals have been completed. Kaimahi have set professional goals. Appropriate professional development will be provided to ensure that kaimahi knowledge and skills are enhanced in order to meet the learning needs of all children.
The whānau have yet to develop a strategic plan. They have listed a set of priorities but have not proceeded any further. In order for whānau to ensure the long term sustainability of the kōhanga reo, it is important that goals and objectives are established and an action plan put in place. The action plan will ensure that there is a planned approach to achieving the aspirations of the whānau.
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
Whānau develop, monitor and report on the strategic plan.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōtane is in the Hawkes Bay. The whānau have done well to rectify the areas of concerns outlined in the previous report. They are now in a good position to progress and continue to improve the management and operations of the kōhanga reo.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōtane will be in three years.
