Creating an Equitable and Inclusive Classroom for
Māori Students

The Current Situation• According to the Ministry of Education (1993), “All young people in
New Zealand have the right to gain, through a state schooling system, a broad, balanced education that prepares them for effective participation in society.”
• However, currently within secondary schools there is a ‘power asymmetry’(Simon, J., 1992).
• Pakeha values, beliefs and systems are regarded as normal, with the pervading assumption of superiority. Whereas, Maoritanga is currently only selectively used. (Connell, S., 1989)
• Even though teachers want all their students, including Maori, to do well, many do not understand the important role culture plays in a student’s learning. (Jill Bevan-Brown, 2003 p 1).
• Male and female Maori students are consistently over-represented in early school leaver statistics and underachieving in NCEA.(got to check this one)

What the data tells us.

The key issue• Our current education system does
not ensure equitable outcomes for Māori students (Bell & Carpenter, 1994).
• As a cohort, they consistently under-perform the norm (Bishop et al. 2007).

Equality of Opportunity versus Equity
• Equality of opportunity involves treating every student the same in terms of providing them an ‘opportunity’ to be educated whereas equity is about treating every student based on their individual need so that they have an equal chance of achieving the same outcome (Ball, 1994).
• Therefore to make Equal Opportunity = Equity, we need to provide a multi-curricula, multi-pedagogical educational system whereby the classroom system is individually tailored to each student to achieve the “best” outcome for each student according to that individual student’s needs (Bridges, 2009).

What if ...?• For those of you who are still not sure
that we should be concerned with equity consider what position you would be in if the Tangata Whenua were in the majority group today? In terms of:– Language used– Curriculum– Teaching styles– Culture

Whanau• Maori parents and whanau are interested in their
children’s education and want to be actively involved.
• This community is frustrated about the lack of cultural equity in classrooms
• Maori are sometimes hesitant to approach schools to enquire about making changes. This stems from personal negative experiences of school.
• However, Maori do want more say in education• A need has been recognised for more parental and
teacher support, and open communication. (Ministry of Education, 1998)

What recent research has shown.• Te Kōtahitanga and others: What these
programs have shown is that if we as teachers:– have the right attitudes and beliefs,– if we take the time to find out the specific
needs of the cohort we are targeting and – if we address these needs well within the
context of our educational system, we can achieve impressive positive results with this cohort.
