Culture+reflected+in+the+classroom


 * This wiki page asks teachers to consider... **
 * what they can do to embrace Pacific Island/M **ā **ori culture as Pasifika/M **ā **ori children transition into **
 *  their classrooms at Freyberg High school? **


 * Whilst cultural considerations in/outside the classroom are infinite, one of the easiest and most heart-warming ways of demonstrating an inclusive cultural approach is to display M ā ori and Pasifika: art, posters, photographs, travel brochures and student work etc. on the walls of your classroom. **

 "Schools, teachers and other students need to support Pacific learners to ‘be themselves’ and to  ‘**see themselves and their culture reflected’ in the classroom**” (Fergusson et al, 2008, cited in Statistics NZ (2010) Report of Pacific Peoples and Education in NZ).
