As part of the Pupuke Kahui Ako’s commitment to improving culturally responsive practices in our schools, Milford Primary School has undertaken a series of whole staff professional development. Critical histories of Aotearoa is a series of workshops led by Tamsin Hanly designed to educate teachers about the range of historic perspectives in New Zealand colonisation processes and give them a deeper understanding of the Treaty of Waitangi. This professional development will enable teachers at Milford to teach critical New Zealand history with more confidence, using practical activities to help students interact meaningfully with the content as they learn

Push to teach New Zealand history in schools becomes more desperate
