Conduct a cultural audit and produce a comprehensive report that describes the current state of Cultural Responsiveness and that states recommendations for the future.
Develop strategic goals for Māori Education, Māori Achievement and Cultural Responsiveness. Develop an Action Plan in collaboration with staff, the BOT, the local Māori Community and whānau; that describes the school’s current state, the desired state and that has specific goals aimed at achieving the desired outcomes.
Provide tailored and specific PLD to all staff (and BOT members where appropriate), that directly supports the goals and outcomes of the school’s action plan and strategic plan.
