Testimonials

Kia ora Michele,

We have made significant progress with Maori at our school and a large part of that is down to your fabulous professional guidance in te reo.  You have an approach that is engaging, non-threatening and memorable. We all love our integrated Maori curriculum ...read our recent E R O review!

Nā Debbie Waller Orewa North Primary School

 “I thought your course was great. I loved the interactive, FUN nature of it, plus your passion shines through! “

“Thank you Michelle for a great workshop and fantastic resources”

 “I feel so much more confident to give the language a go. The course is just what I needed-a starting point. With the fantastic resources I can design an awesome manageable program for me and my team.”

“I can’t wait to try these activities. It makes learning the language easy"

As a specialist te reo Māori teacher in a mainstream primary school I can vouch wholeheartedly for the workshops that Michelle presents. I have attended eight of them over the last three years and each has been inspirational, practical, and thoroughly enjoyable. They stand out as the most incredibly useful professional development tool available for classroom teachers who wish to offer an engaging, authentic, well scaffolded and structured te reo programme to their students.

Her experience teaching te reo Māori me ōna tikanga to all ages at primary school means that she knows how to access each age group to the learning and how to use the variety of te reo resources out there, in schools and on-line, to maximise and normalise the communicative use of te reo by the students.  Having worked for the last three years with the scaffolded planning and resources that she provides for each age level, I know that they work brilliantly. Students achieve success in learning not only Māori words but gaining confidence to speak naturally in sentences to one another in te reo. I have also loved seeing how the students take their enthusiasm for learning te reo home and share it with their families, lifting the mana of the reo in our own predominantly non-Māori community.

As a teacher the workshops give you a proven, scaffolded pathway to meeting the achievement objectives within Level 1& 2 of the Te Reo Māori curriculum via

legends, action songs and games, communicative learning activities, whakatauki, visual prompts and art projects.  They take all the hard work out of planning. She demonstrates how to use the Ministry of Education’s He Reo Tupu He Reo Ora  resource creatively and effectively. Even if your own level of te reo is minimal you can launch the te reo learning journey in your classroom and have a lot of fun learning along with your students. Whether you are lead teacher for te reo in your school or a general classroom teacher wanting to integrate te reo into your classroom Michelle makes it real, exciting and manageable!
