The huia feather is a revered treasure for Māori and symbolises

The huia feather is a revered treasure for Māori and symbolises leadership and mana. The feathers from
the tail of the huia were particularly prized and were worn in the hair or around the neck by both men and
women. Feathers were often stored in intricately carved boxes known as wakahuia.
The huia was unique in the way the male and female beaks performed complementary tasks – the male
bird had a stout beak to break into logs and the female, a longer curved beak to extract the beetle larvae,
which formed the basis of their diet. This differentiation meant that, for huia, the competition between
the two for food was minimised.
Unfortunately, huia became extinct in the 20th century as the fashion for their feathers spread across
Britain and Europe and indiscriminate hunting decimated the huia population. The last confirmed
sighting of huia was recorded in 1907. Thus the huia, and particularly the tail feathers, also symbolise
the consequences when sustainable practices are not in place.
The image was created especially for Te Whai Toi Tangata: Institute of Professional
Learning, by noted Tūhoe artist and Faculty of Education lecturer, Donn Ratana. Donn’s
image is a wakahuia formed by arms encircled to support the treasure within.
It links strongly to the Institute’s purpose of working in partnership to improve
learning outcomes for all.

Our Logo
The logo of Te Whai Toi Tangata: Institute of Professional
Learning, depicts a huia feather. The feather was chosen to link
to the images of whai – to chase after, or the word used to
describe a traditional wānanga (school) and toi – a treasure.
Tangata refers to the people. Thus, multiple images are conjured,
when Whai, Toi and Tangata are conceptualised together, that
encapsulate the values and aspirations of Te Whai Toi Tangata:
Institute of Professional Learning.

Reading Recovery
Reading Recovery is a successful early literacy intervention developed by Dame Marie Clay to reduce the
number of children with literacy difficulties in schools. Specially trained teachers provide intensive one-to-one
teaching on a daily basis for children making the slowest progress in reading and writing after a year at school.
The intervention has two aims. The first is to accelerate progress in these areas so that learners can engage with
the classroom curriculum alongside their peers while the second outcome is to identify the small percentage of
learners who require on-going specialist literacy support.
Reading Recovery Tutors are skilled teachers, knowledgeable about literacy, who complete a fulltime year of
professional and academic training to enable them to train Reading Recovery teachers, as well as providing
ongoing professional development and support for trained teachers. Six Reading Recovery Tutors work for the
Institute of Professional Learning. They are based in Gisborne, Rotorua, Tauranga, and Hamilton. These Tutors
also work from sub-centres in Whakatane, Taupo, Paeroa, and Te Kuiti.
Reading Recovery is supported and significantly resourced by the New Zealand Ministry of Education and
supplemented by schools to allow full implementation within their school. As part of the on-going evaluation of
Reading Recovery, schools provide data for the Ministry at the end of each year. This information is published on
the Education Counts website, which demonstrates that it can be delivered with reliability and with consistently
high levels of success.

Gifted and Talented Education
A rising tide lifts all ships.
– Joseph Renzulli
Ensuring that all students are catered for appropriately is at the heart of gifted and talented education.
A sustained focus on high expectations and excellence has been shown to raise the achievement of all students.
Many of the principles that underpin gifted and talented education are increasingly being recognised as effective
learning practices for all students.
IPL consultants have a wide range of experience and credibility in gifted and talented education and have held
leadership positions in this field. We work collaboratively with schools to provide professional learning that is
practical, sustainable and relevant to each school’s culture and community. Our work is informed by high quality
research and knowledge of best practices for gifted and talented students.
Our team can support you to:
• assess what is already working well for gifted and talented students in your school and identify any gaps
in provision
• develop the capability and confidence of teachers and school leaders to cater appropriately for this group
of learners
• establish processes for identifying gifted and talented students and tracking their progress and achievement
• develop and implement school-wide provisions that are responsive to the range of gifts, talents and cultures
found within your school’s population
• strengthen understandings about gifted and talented education within your school and the wider community
• integrate effective teaching and learning practices that are desirable for all students but essential for gifted
and talented students
• increase understanding about how to identify and cater for gifted and talented students who are twiceexceptional and/or underachieving
• raise awareness of the social and emotional issues facing gifted and talented students and provide options for
addressing these
• integrate a blended e-learning approach that is grounded in the principles of gifted and talented education.
Additional options:
• setting up professional learning groups (PLGs) within or across schools
• cross-curricular planning and implementation
• transitioning students between schools and education sectors
• facilitating conversations with parents and/or outside providers
• developing personalised learning pathways (PLPs) for exceptional students
• surveying students, parents, teachers and the wider community to inform
professional learning
• personalised coaching for school-based gifted and talented
education co-ordinators.

Leadership Professional Learning Groups (PLGs)
The IPL offers an innovative programme of professional learning for school leaders. This programme has been
developed following an extensive needs analysis and focusses on school leaders forming small Professional
Learning Groups (PLGs). In the PLGs school leaders will self-select a group of 4-6 colleagues with whom they
dialogue about their ‘puzzles of practice’, and their leadership inquiries. Face-to-face sessions are held at least
once a term and continue online in between these sessions.
The PLGs are about partnerships and communities of lead learners across and within schools. They are also
about partnerships with the IPL and the Faculty of Education within the University of Waikato. We have
groups of principals and leadership teams across schools and several in-school leadership teams involved in
this exciting initiative.
An experienced IPL facilitator (or leader within the teaching profession) supports the process and provides material
to continue to stimulate discussions and encourage critiquing of each participant’s practice.
The trust that is evident through the self-selection membership process enables participants to share openly
and the wisdom of the group is welcomed in the interest of supporting best practice across the community
of schools.
As part of the annual Leadership PLG package two workshops are offered which address the needs of individual
or various groups. These have included:
• supporting the groups to work online and develop their e-portfolios
• learning the process of convening
• aligning leadership practices and addressing appraisal for learning, including connections to the Leadership
Registered Teaching Criteria.
A further element of the package is a school visit for the day. Primary and secondary leaders, as well as the
Faculty of Education lecturers and IPL staff, are invited to each one. Together this group of colleagues learn indepth about the school’s vision and are invited to move around the school, to observe how the school is putting
their vision into practice. Otorohanga College has hosted such a visit where the college community shared what
it meant to live their “dual cultural heritage”.
An IPL certificate is provided to indicate that the leader has participated in this programme. In the case of
principals this could assist as evidence for their career progressions as per Section 4 of their Collective Agreement.
An exciting optioanl extra dimension of the PLGs is an initiative the Faculty of Education within the University
of Waikato is recognising as a “record of lively learning”. A PLG participant could submit:
• a record of professional practice accumulated through eg reflections, their leadership inquiry and puzzlings of
practice participating in the PLG process, and also
• records of what they are engaged in as the leaders in their school which demonstrates they are meeting the
expectations of Level 8 learning (NZQA framework).
This professional leadership record would be submitted to be considered for Recognition of Professional Learning
(RPL) for a Masters paper in Educational Leadership.

Learning with Digital Technologies
Our facilitators can help you through the process of self-review of your school’s digital capabilities using the
e-learning planning framework, and will support school-wide strategic planning for implementing and integrating
the use of digital technologies for learning.
We offer PLD programmes that incorporate new technologies and approaches to learning. These programmes
support students to be successful citizens in an increasingly digital world. Using a blend of online and face-toface approaches, and promoting continuous and collaborative learning, the PLD programme supports schools
to implement the full integration of e-Learning into their programmes. Facilitators support teachers to improve
their practice using appropriate digital technologies through ‘teaching as inquiry’ practices.

Pāngarau
Kei hopu tō ringa ki te aka tāepa,
engari kia mau ki te aka matua.
This kōrero is taken from Te Marautanga o Aotearoa (Pāngarau), and tells of time when Tawhaki ascended to
fetch the 3 baskets of knowledge. The essence of this whakatauākī reminds us to stay focused on the parent vine
and not to be distracted by other vines. This kōrero is relevant to our role as facilitators in Te Whai Toi Tangata,
as our work in Pāngarau is deliberately organised to focus on what matters.
Te Whai Toi Tangata (IPL) have an experienced team of Pāngarau facilitators who are familiar with research and
effective practice, and who can work in both Māori medium and dual medium settings. Our work is informed
by Te Marautanga o Aotearoa, Best Evidence Synthesis, Kaupapa Māori theory, Tau Mai te Reo and Tū Rangatira.
We have bases in Waikato, Tauranga , Rotorua, and Napier and move around these regions to:
• work with schools in-depth or on a flexible response basis
• provide coaching and mentoring
• work with kura and whānau
• deliver one-off or a series of workshops (staff meetings or teacher only days) for a school or cluster of schools.
Our team also delivers support in te reo Māori and have formed strong relationships with other PLD providers
in Māori medium. We work collaboratively with Pāngarau researchers and with other facilitators who have
specialist knowledge in areas such as ihumanea (gifted and talented), and Learning with Digital Technologies.
Any professional learning and development undertaken within your kura or hāpori (community) will be tailored
specifically to meet your needs. We currently facilitate Pāngarau courses and workshops for:
• provisionally Registered Teachers, kaiāwhina, and specific year levels eg New Entrants, years 7-10
• support schools with assessment tools, for example Uiui & GloSS, and effective pedagogy
• support kaiako with content knowledge.

Te reo Māori in English-medium
Ko te reo te manawa pou o te Māori,
Ko te ihi te waimanawa o te tangata,
Ko te roimata, ko te hūpē te waiaroha.
Ko tōku nui, tōku wehi, tōku whakatiketike, tōku reo.
Te reo Māori is indigenous to Aotearoa New Zealand. It is a taonga recognised under the Treaty of Waitangi, a
primary source of our nation’s self-knowledge and identity, and an official language. By understanding and using
te reo Māori, New Zealanders become more aware of the role played by the indigenous language and culture in
defining and asserting our point of difference in the wider world.
(The New Zealand Curriculum, Page 14)
Do you need support at your school to design a teaching and learning programme for te reo Māori in Englishmedium? We can help you plan an overview for te reo Māori across year levels at your school, linked to the
curriculum guidelines. We can also help with suggesting resources you could use to supplement the teaching
and learning.
General support we can assist with includes:
• curriculum development and planning
• teaching and learning resources
• effective teaching and learning strategies and approaches
• assessment tasks and activities.
Our facilitators can help you through a process of review, design and implementation for a sequential teaching
and learning programme for te reo Māori, across Years 1-13.
We offer PLD support that incorporates new technologies and blended approaches to language learning, and
support to reflect culturally responsive and appropriate practices.
At the heart of our context, are the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi, the strategic intent of the Māori
Education strategy Ka Hikitia and Tātaiako, the New Zealand Curriculum and the Curriculum Guidelines
for Teaching and Learning te reo Māori.
We are driven and motivated to make a difference for the teaching and learning of te reo Māori
in New Zealand schools, where te reo Māori is valued as a language for all, the associated
benefits of learning a subsequent language are known and realised, and the dual heritage
of our nation is celebrated and valued.

Research
Research and evidence-based professional learning is key to being at the forefront of innovation and critical
thinking about professional practice. The IPL provides high quality, research-informed professional learning and
development that contribute to improved professional practice in early childhood centres, kura, schools and
tertiary institutions nationally and internationally. We work in partnership with mana whenua in culturally
responsive practice.
The urgency for transformative practice and for 21st century learning experiences for children and adults is
driving innovation in education. Research evidence is essential in this rapidly changing context. This evidence not
only informs the ongoing cycle of further innovation and provides a feedback loop in the development process.
For example, the National Aspiring Principals’ Programme has drawn on the best of international and national
research, used multiple methodologies, and engaged the participants in data conversations. This ongoing data
collection, analysis and interpretation, contributes to the quality of professional practice in a number of ways
– describing implementation, determining influence on the development of key leadership concepts and coconstructing intentional coaching tools for leadership learning.

Scholarships
The IPL offers two annual scholarship packages. These are open to doctoral and masters level candidates who
