About the event

EDUCATOR EVENT: Honoring Belief and Heritage in the Classroom
Join us for a professional learning opportunity designed to engage educators in deep content learning with the Museum’s collections, with particular emphasis on Ruatepupuke II, the Māori Meeting House. 🏛️

This program will help educators explore how to approach teaching about diverse beliefs and traditions with care. As a case study, we will look at how to incorporate artifact inquiry when an artifact, like the Māori Meeting House, is not an object but an ancestor. 💙

Participants will:

Understand: How to honor diverse beliefs by incorporating non-Western stories and traditions into instruction.

Do: Role-play responding to student and parent questions about cultures and religious traditions that might be different from their own.

Feel: Prepared to teach about diverse beliefs with care.Registration is open to formal and informal educators of all levels.

Registration will remain open until Friday, December 5, 2025, or until full.

All attendees will receive a copy of the newest edition of Whale Rider by Witi Ihimaera.
