Ako (reciprocal learning): This principle means to teach and to learn and emphasises reciprocal learning. “Teachers and

students can take turns in storying and re-storying their realities, either as individual learners or within a group context”

(Bishop et al., 2003, page 13). The participants in learning share and value each other’s sense-making processes.

Gorinksi’s (2006) findings are consistent with the research of others that concludes that the development of trusting and

respectful cross-cultural relationships between school communities and Pasifika parents and communities can enhance

teaching and learning and empower families.
