Connecting personal experiences to their learning - do I see myself in it? Where am I in this picture (in the curriculum).
Identity of culture
Without our culture, we have no identity
language
Often with indigenous cultures, we have differing worldviews, that being individualistic vs collective.
filling in the 'white spaces' for Maori and Pasifika chn
small changes are all you need to do
culture and cultural identity cant be left to timetabling, or for a week (Samoan language week). It becomes tokenism.
The challenge is: culturally sustaining writing practice that are:
'Barrier' thinking about Maori and Pasifika children.
Need to flip it around and 'work with whats here in front of me'.
Instead of starting from a position of deficit… try to use a different lens
