Quality I & M programmes An induction and mentoring programme is not a hierarchical structure, Rather, it is a collaborative approach between two or more teachers to explore, trial, question, reflect on, & evaluate ways of teaching to develop effective students learning. It involves sharing & demonstrating rather than instructing, and discussing rather than telling. P8 Towards Full Registration, Section 4 : Schools

Culturally Responsive Pedagogy

Gay (2000) defines culturally responsive teaching as: Using the cultural knowledge, prior knowledge, prior experiences, & performance styles of diverse students to make the learning more appropriate & effective for them: it teaches to and through the strength of these students.

Gay (2000) also describes culturally responsive teaching as having these characteristics: It acknowledges the legitimacy of the cultural heritages of different ethnic groups, both as legacies that affect students’ dispositions, attitudes, & approaches to learning & as worthy content to be taught in the formal curriculum It builds bridges of meaningfulness between home & school experiences as well as between academic abstractions & lived sociocultural realities

Gay (2000) also describes culturally responsive teaching as having these characteristics : It uses a wide variety of instructional strategies that are connected to different learning styles It teaches students to know & praise their own & each others’ cultural heritages It incorporates multicultural information, resources, and materials in all subjects & skills routinely taught in schools.

RTC overarching statements 1.Teachers play a critical role in enabling the educational achievement of all akonga/ learners. 2.The Treaty of Waitangi extends equal status & rights to Maori & Pakeha. This places a particular responsibility on all teachers in Aotearoa /New Zealand to promote equitable learning outcomes. 3.In an increasingly multi-cultural Aotearoa New Zealand, teachers need to be aware of and respect the languages, heritages and cultures of all akonga. 4.In Aotearoa /New Zealand, the Code of Ethics commits registered teachers to the highest standards of professional service in promoting the learning of those they teach.
