He ngāwari te haere. He māmā ki te whai i ngā tohutohu o te Ara tohu. He rawe hoki kua whakahonohono i ngā taumahi akiaki ki ia akoranga.

Kaiako, Cohort 1

The pace of this course — although alot to take in, the time spent and the pace ensures that the understanding is there. I have the confidence to ask pātai without feeling whakamā. The content and supporting resources are rawe!

Kei te whanake pai taku māramatanga mō tēnei kaupapa te rangaranga ā tā. He nui tonu ngā kurahuna hei tūhura māku, heoi kua oti i a ngā kaiwhakangungu te whakapūrangiaho, te tahitahi i te huarahi e pai ai taku toro, taku rapu, taku tūhura i ngā koha nui ō roto.

Kaiako, Cohort 2

Absolutely wonderful having a kanohi ki te kanohi session with the whole whānau! I absolutely love how the kaupapa are broken down and explained with relevant activities attached. I really appreciate the time spent navigating the Te Ara Tohu site as there are a lot of components. The facilitation is excellent — both facilitators have a range of pūkenga and have a beautiful wairua that keeps the akoranga interesting. Wish we could have another!!

Kaiako, Cohort 2

Safe, open, honest, environment. Encouraged to be real and be ourselves. Credit given to us as kaiako who know what we’re doing — this makes us feel good and open to the new learning. Great balance between the facilitators. Very valuable to go through the Rangaranga reo ā-Tā rauemi and hear what other kaiako and kura are doing. Brain breaks/boosts were fun.
