• te whakahāngai i ngā wawata me ngā whakaumu a te whānau, te hapū me te iwi,
• te aro atu ki ngā ōati o He Wakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tireni me Te Tiriti o Waitangi, me
• te tū kaha hei tuakiri Māori, e tū Māori ake nei rātou hei kaiārahi Māori.

Ka tautokohia ngā Tumuaki Hou Māori i a rātou ka whakatipu i ō rātou āheinga whakahaere me te whakamahi i ngā tohutohu kaiārahitanga ki te whakatinana i ngā kawatau a te Kāwanatanga.

Ko te kaupapa - Programme description

The Māori Beginning Principals' programme is an opportunity for tumuaki Māori in their first two years of Principalship regardless of the school setting - Kura Kaupapa Māori, Kura a iwi, English medium, Dual medium, Bilingual and Rumaki Reo and Reo Rua, rural, urban etc.

The programme is founded on He Wakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tīreni and Te Tiriti o Waitangi - the two constitutional covenants of Aotearoa. Accordingly, the programmes centre the visions and aspirations of mana whenua – hapū and iwi. This personal and professional learning will enable participants to develop and strengthen their leadership in order to:

• centre whānau, hapū and iwi aspirations and transformations,
• realise the promises of He Wakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tireni and Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and
• stand strong in their identity as Māori and unlock their potential as Māori leaders.

Māori Beginning Principals are supported as they grow their managerial capabilities and use their instructional leadership to implement Government priorities.

These include:

• understanding and implementing the new approaches to literacy and numeracy, as expressed in the new curriculum learning areas  
• adopting and implementing smarter assessment and reporting  
• implementing the new curriculum
