The theme in 2017 was – Educators making a difference for Māori & Pasifika learners
through literacy and numeracy.
The purpose was – to support sector-wide educator capacity and support efforts to improve
literacy and numeracy outcomes for Māori and Pasifika learners.
The goals were:

1. To provide a forum for educators of Māori and Pasifika learners and PLD (Professional
Learning Development) trainers to reflect, debate and share good practice
2. To further develop the educators who attended

3. To identify good practice and how it could be scaled up
4. To continue to have two-way communication between government and educators
5. To continue knowledge exchange, conversations, and collaboration across the sector to
make a difference
6. To seek creative solutions which enhance literacy and numeracy outcomes for Māori and
Pasifika learners
7. To strengthen connections between the Literacy and Numeracy Strategy, Tū Māia, and
the Pasifika Operational Strategy.

We hope this Digital Flipbook provides you with an increased sense of:
Belonging – connecting as Māori and Pasifika, literacy and numeracy educators, and
whānau/āiga to create a community of praxis.
Belief – a stronger belief in your own capabilities and potential to take up tuakana/leader roles.
Knowing – with reaffirmed knowledge and new information as a community of praxis
performing at your very best so that our learners get the very best.
