We have updated te Kete of te Kaupapa Māori- Pepehā unit plan is linked. You can also find it somewhere on this blog.
The following is cut-and-pasted from a slightly modified google doc. Cutting and pasting hates me and doesn't seem to work well.
TE KETE O TE KAUPAPA MĀORI - Term 3 2018
The NUMBER ONE thing we can do to improve engagement and achievement for ANY student
is to say their names correctly. In the case of Māori students, this extends to saying place names,
class tree names, whanau class bird names, etc.

Whānau classes are a good opportunity to say a Māori word- your manu- so please use your
manu when talking with your whānau class and use it often so they associate whānau class with
manu rather than ‘you’.
