Why would working with them be any different to working with other children with special education needs? Why is this a highly important job? This book provides essential information for those striving to provide culturally responsive, effective education for M ori children. Working with M ori Children with Special Education Needs emphasises the importance of learning from the past and listening to M ori children, their parents and wider wh nau (families). It explores the key components of culturally responsive, evidence-based, special education practice; it describes holistic and inclusive responses to educating all tamariki (children), especially those with identified special education needs; and it discusses a paradigm for M ori disability identity-wh nau hau . This book also features specific categorial studies, outlining M ori concepts and advising professionals. The studies explore the needs of deaf children and their wh nau; outline general, educational and cultural barriers for M ori who are vision impaired or blind; and discuss physical disability, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, and giftedness from a M ori perspective. This book then considers ways that teachers and wh nau can capitalise on their respective strengths and knowledge in order to take joint responsibility for students' learning and behaviour."

The final section of this book, Part V, includes ideas about future directions for work in the area of educational transitions, and presents the notion of transitions as a tool for change to policy, research and practice.

Download or read book Separate But Equal written by J. M. Barrington and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A system of government primary schools for Māori children created by Parliament in 1867 was regarded as a temporary measure until they learnt English and were Europeanised. But it lasted for 100 years despite criticisms of 'separatism' and 'pampering' of Māori. Barrington is the foremost historian of the schools. In this book he draws on an extensive range of new material, including theses, Waitangi Tribunal research and oral history projects, to tell their story, together with those of the Māori denominational boarding schools and state Maori district high schools. The voices of Māori on schooling, which remained largely hidden in many earlier studies, are given a new prominence.

Book excerpt: This book identifies some of the aspirations and concerns of Maori parents for, and about, their children's education. It provides valuable insights which may contribute to shaping better home-school relationships for Maori parents and children. The parents in the study wanted their children to have a better education than they had, and expressed a strong wish to be involved in their child's schooling. The key factor is school outreach. When teachers reach out into the community, showing their respect for the relationships and activities which matter for Maori parents and their children, partnerships with parents appear to be more readily achieved. How well Maori children do at school is strongly linked towith how well parents and children relate to school staff.

This book was released on 2019-03-14 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a novel approach to the concept of ‘voice’ within education systems, this insightful text considers the extent to which the values, opinions, beliefs and perspectives of pupils, families, teachers, and members of senior management are heard in educational settings, and explores what can be learned from integrating their views and opinions in decision-making processes. Pupil, Teacher and Family Voice in Educational Institutions traces the historical and legal developments which have heralded an increased appreciation of individuals’ perspectives in key decision-making processes. Chapters consider how various parties can be encouraged to voice their opinions and beliefs, and address the issues and challenges which may face institutions as they seek to create an atmosphere of open and active consultation and engagement. Drawing on evidence-based research, case studies and personal accounts, chapters reflect upon the concept of ‘voice’ in diverse settings and acknowledge the sometimes significant divergence between the intended and actual extent to which such opinions, beliefs and perspectives are reflected in day-to-day practice. Offering in-depth exploration of the concept of ‘voice’ and the benefits, implications, challenges and practicalities associated with it, this text will be of interest to future and in-service teachers, educational researchers and policy makers.
