Tapasā PLD Tapasā PLD

Limited places are now available for Tapasā PLD support for eligible early services, schools and kura. Tapasā PLD supports educators to develop culturally sustaining teaching practices that affirm and celebrate Pacific identities , languages and cultures. When Pacific learners see themselves reflected in teaching and learning, engagement and attendance increase.  These outcomes support accelerated learner progress and improved achievement.
