He kupu whakapuaki
"He tomokanga paepae he ara ki te aotūroa."
Tēnei te mihi maioha ki a koutou i runga anō i ngā tini āhuatanga o te wā. Ka rere tonu ngā mihi aroha ki a koutou ōtira ki a tātou. Nā Tuteira Pohatu ēnei kohikohinga kōrero, kohikohinga whakaaro i hōmai ki te rōpū nei.
Tuteira Pohatu generously shared the above whakataukī as a metaphor for inservice teacher education. A possible translation is “crossing a threshold that leads to a path to the future”. The whakataukī also embodies analogies of process and ritual that may show the way to personal and professional enlightenment. In the same way, inservice teacher education draws on ways of working that involve complex interactions and that may lead to empowerment as a learner and as a leader.
