He pākiki nōku i ngā wāhanga ako e pā ana ki te hāngahanga o te akoako i ngā akomanga rāranga rōpū, ā, nō reira e rapu ana au i tētahi tūranga hei kaiako mō te rangahau ako me te whakarite i ngā akoranga. Ko te whai wāhi ki te whakarato mōhiotanga i te reo Māori me ngā tikanga tuku iho ki ngā tauira kei te mataku i a au hei whai wāhi ki te maaramatanga o ēnei akoranga nui.

I roto i tāku akoranga, i whakaako mātou i ngā rōpū me ngā paearu, i te whakamahi i ngā tikanga ako waina me te whakamahi ngā taputapu hangarau hei tautoko i te mātauranga. Nāku te kawenga i ngā momo whakarāpopotonga akoranga me ngā taraiwa whai hua mō ngā tauira rōpū, ā, kua riro māmā i a au te hono ki ngā tauira me ngā whānau.

He roa ngā tauira o te aroha mai ki te reo Māori, ā, he pai ki ahau te hunga e hiahia ana ki te whakaoti i ngā wero ako me te whakarite i ngā wāhi akoranga hei painga mō te katoa. E mōhio ana hoki au ki te whakamahi i ngā rauemi ako hei tautoko i ngā momo tauira me ngā āhuatanga akoranga rua rua, tae noa ki te whāngai i ngā whakaaroaratanga rākau me ngā tikanga tuku iho.

E kiia ana e rātou ko te ako i tō rātou reo, he ara hei whakakaha i ngā hononga Māori me te whanaungatanga. Nā reira, e mōhio ana au, ko te kaha ki te tuku pūkenga reo Māori ki ngā tauira, he tino wāhi ki te whakaū i ngā tikanga tuku iho, me te hohou i te tautoko i tā rātou akoranga, he mea nui rawa ki tenei tūranga.

Nāku te pīrangi ki te tautoko i te tiakina o te reo Māori me ngā tikanga i roto i ngā kura me ngā kura wānanga e hāngai ana ki ēnei kaupapa, ā, e marama ana au me pēhea te whakamahi i ngā tikanga ako me ngā rautaki hou hei whakakaha i ngā pānga ako. Māku, e whakapono ana, ka taea te whai wāhi nui ki te whakatutuki i ngā whāinga a te rōpū ako, me te hanga i tētahi ao akoranga e kawe pūkenga, e mōhiotanga hoki mō te tangata katoa.

He āhuatanga whai wāhi hoki te mōhiotanga ki ngā huarahi whakahaere i ngā akoranga mō ngā kaumātua me ngā pēpē, he mea nui hoki mō te painga o te ao reo Māori. Ko taku whāinga nui ko te tautoko i te tautoko i ngā tatau o te ako, me te whakarite kia pera ngā tauira katoa, ahakoa tā rātou kaumātanga, kei runga i te ara tika o te ako.

Mā tēnei tūranga, ka whai wāhi rānei ki te tuku i ngā pūkenga ako me te whakapakari i ngā hononga rōpū me ngā whānau, hei painga mō te taiao ako i roto i ngā kura. Māku hoki te mārama ki te hanga rōpū ako e whai hua ana, e puritia tonu ana i ngā āhuatanga Māori katoa, hei whakakaha i te reo me ngā tikanga o te Māori mō ngā whakatinanatanga o te ao Māoritanga.
