ROLE OF LEADER

“Kaua e rangiruatia te hāpai o te hoe; e kore tō tātou waka e ū ki uta”

DESCRIPTION OF ROLE

The kaiarataki leadership role emphasises the importance of strategic leadership in Māori medium education. Strategic planning and goal setting are important at all levels, from governance bodies through to principals, teachers and school support staff. Strategic plans provide direction for development, and offer a blueprint against which day-to-day operations can be charted and matched against progress. Achieving the ideal plan for a kura requires good leadership, management and the coordination of people and resources. This form of leadership is about leading the process of strategic planning and annual goals to shape implementation, practice and success.
