About the resource

Creating culturally responsive learning environments begins with a willingness to learn, reflect and grow. This collection of Māori and Te Reo Resources has been carefully curated to support educators at every stage of their bicultural journey, whether you are just beginning to learn te reo Māori or looking to deepen your understanding of tikanga Māori and culturally sustaining practice.

Inside, you'll find practical language guides, classroom phrases, teaching resources, everyday learning brochures, waiata, iwi and rohe information, and resources that help bring te ao Māori into authentic educational settings. Organised into easy-to-navigate categories, these resources are designed to help you gradually build confidence, strengthen your cultural capability and integrate te reo Māori naturally into daily routines and learning experiences.

Together, these resources support educators to honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi, foster meaningful relationships with tamariki and whānau, and create learning environments where Māori language, culture and identity are valued, visible and celebrated.
