The involvement of whanau in the teaching and learning process is important at every juncture of a child's educational journey. Rich understanding of the curriculum enables whanau to make deep and meaningful contributions to discussions about their child's development. It also presents an interesting challenge for educational settings to create opportunities for whanau to increase their knowledge of the curriculum. This article outlines the benefits of a toi Maori approach to support whanau understanding.
