Local Curriculum, Mātauranga and Science

Local Curriculum, Mātauranga and Science

Science Learning Hub hosted this webinar in March 2022 as part of their regular online teacher PLD. It is relevant for both primary and secondary school teachers.

In this recorded webinar Shawn Cooper, Senior Curriculum Lead and science presenter from Home Learning TV, shares his thoughts and insights on developing a local curriculum and what embedding mātauranga Māori into the science classroom could look like.

Shawn has worked across primary, secondary and tertiary settings in Canada and Aotearoa New Zealand and brings knowledge from his own personal and professional journey as a non-Māori wanting to uphold mana ōrite mō te mātauranga Māori.

During the webinar we will share a range of examples and resources to support you in developing a local curriculum that embeds mātauranga Māori.

This was an inspiring webinar. Fantastic presenter. It helped to answer some questions we had been having as a department.
