A Culturally Responsive Pedagogy of

Relations

Draws from metaphors found in kura kaupapa Māori (Smith, 1997) and the narratives of experience of Māori students, their whānau, principals and teachers in Phase 1 of Te Kotahitanga (Bishop, Berryman, Tiakiwai and Richardson, 2001) Represents a merger between of culturally responsive pedagogy described by Gay (2000) and Villegas & Lucas (2002) and a pedagogy of relations described by Sidorkin (2002) and Cummins (1995).

•Where power is shared between self-determining individuals within non-dominating relations of interdependence;

•where culture counts;

•where learning is interactive, dialogic and spirals;

•where participants are connected to one another; and

•where there is a common vision for what constitutes excellence in educational outcomes.

(Bishop, Berryman, Cavanagh & Teddy, 2007)
