The latest Central Hub Funded Project: Key Tutor Practices for Māori Student Success at PTEs

The latest Regional Hub Funded Project, now available for download, is The Identification of Key Tutor Practices that are Positively Correlated with Successful Completion for Māori Students within a PTE Environment led by Anne Greenhalgh, Kare Tipa-Rogers and Rebecca Hunter at Workforce Development.

The overriding aim of this project is to unravel what allows a tutor to achieve exceptional retention and completion results with their adult Māori students; to make available learning environments that enable positive outcomes for Māori learners in foundation and entry level vocational tertiary education. This research focuses on what actually happens for Māori students in “mainstream” Private Training Establishment (PTE) delivery. It is acknowledged that Māori respond well in a kaupapa Māori environment; mainstream environments do need to be aware of the requirements of Māori.

Recommendations explore the actual tutor practices that result in positive outcomes for Māori students. Ultimately, this will culminate in the creation of Puanga Te Matapae Oranga, a toolkit to stimulate self-driven development of individual tutor practice models.
