The Enduring Effect of Exemplary Teachers of Aotearoa New Zealand’s Most Disengaged Secondary School Students: An Ideology of Hope
Written by Rachel Maitland (Ngāi te Ruahikihiki, Ngāti Huirapa, Ngāi Tūāhuriri)
Teachers are known to be one of the most significant factors influencing educational engagement. My thesis presents findings from a qualitative research project into the beliefs, practices, and knowledge of exemplary teachers of New Zealand’s most disengaged secondary school students. I had two research questions:
What are the understandings, beliefs and practices of highly effective teachers of at-risk secondary students?
What teacher knowledge, mindsets and strategies can help to engage Aotearoa New Zealand’s most educationally disconnected secondary students?
