About the symposium
The 2026 m�tauranga Toi M�ori assessment symposium is for kaiako who assess or wish to learn more about Whakairo, Taonga Pūoro, Toi Pūoro and Ng� Mahi a te Whare Pora.
The symposium will:
- support kaiako to learn, develop and master their skills and knowledge, enabling them to integrate these into their teaching, learning, and assessment programmes
- provide a valuable opportunity for kaiako to network with other kaiako and experts.
Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ personnel will be present to provide support with queries about assessing Ä�konga against internally assessed standards and unpacking the requirements for external assessment.
Who should attend?
The symposium is open to all kaiako and kura that want to know more about assessment for one or more w�hanga ako/learning areas – whether you are new to teaching the subject, looking to introduce it at your kura, or an experienced kaiako seeking a refresher or support in assessing against the standards.
Registration has now closed.
