Tapasā is a resource that provides a Pacific learner lens to Our Code, Our Standards | Ngā Tikanga Matatika, Ngā Paerewa.

Thanks for visiting Pasifika Education Community.

We are preparing to close this site soon as this content has now moved to  Tāhūrangi.

Tāhūrangi is the new online curriculum hub for Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga | Ministry of Education.

Tapasā – Cultural competencies framework for teachers of Pacific learners
The Tapasā framework brings Pacific perspectives to effective and quality teaching practice at different stages of a teachers’ journey in key areas and transition points for Pacific learners in early learning, primary and secondary education.  

Use Tapasā as a foundation document to:

  • support governance, strategic, and programme planning
  • develop local curriculum
  • develop induction, mentoring and appraisal systems
  • guide professional learning and development.

Use Tapasā, along with other sources, to inform Pacific achievement aspirations across your school and Community of Learning | Kāhui Ako.
