Why aromatawai matters for your kura
High-quality aromatawai is central to effective teaching and learning. When aromatawai is dependable, and purposeful, it helps teachers and leaders make confident decisions that improve outcomes for learners.
Through this Ministry-funded Professional Learning and Development (PLD), you can strengthen your school’s aromatawai practices, data literacy, and leadership capability. The aim is simple: build sustainable aromatawai systems that make learning visible, equitable, and measurable across your school.
Aromatawai, when well understood and well used, creates clarity about what matters most in learning. It allows teachers and leaders to identify where learners are, plan next steps, and evaluate the impact of their teaching.
What's funded?
This fully funded PLD runs until the end of 2027. It provides:
six full days of direct professional learning support
eight community of practice sessions, to plan, review, collaborate on ideas, and develop actionable next steps
Your facilitator will work alongside you in your kura, through wānanga, in-class observations, coaching, and collaborative planning — supporting you to design and embed aromatawai practices that reflect your local context and aspirations.
How we'll work with you
Each kura’s aromatawai journey is unique. Your facilitator will begin by listening — building relationships and understanding your kura’s needs, goals, and aspirations.
Using the Ministry’s kaiako and tumuaki rubrics, we’ll work together to:
identify your current strengths and focus areas
co-design a professional learning plan that reflects your kura’s kaupapa and marau ā-kura
develop measures to track progress and celebrate growth
build collective capability across kaiako, ākonga, and tumuaki.
This mahi may include wānanga-style sessions, leadership hui, in-class observations, and practice analysis conversations. It’s iterative, relational, and responsive — grounded in ako, where we learn with and from each other.
