AKO

(Inquiry)

The concept of ako describes a teaching and learning relationship, where the educator is also learning from the student and where educators’ practices are informed by the latest research and are both deliberate and reflective. Ako is grounded in the principle of reciprocity and also recognises that the learner and whānau cannot be separated. Ka Hikitia, 2008, p.20

This page contains content outside of literacy and numeracy. We use our school AKO (inquiry) model as a tool to help navigate through an inquiry cycle. Curriculum areas that are the main focus during AKO are Science, Technology, Social Sciences, The Arts, Health and Physical Education. Literacy, numeracy and ICT are the backbone of these units.
