set: Research Information for Teachers, n3 p10-15 2022
Educators have a central role in the advocacy and implementation of children's rights. In reframing Western notions of wellbeing, rights, and student voice from a Maori view, educators are more likely to provide more meaningful support for rangatahi, whanau, and community. This research is underpinned by He Oranga Mokopuna, which repositions mokopuna Maori rights as tangata whenua. Ten Year 10 rangatahi engaged in wananga during hui for this project. The article outlines implications of their korero for educators, and is an extension of a previously published piece by the same authors.
