He kupu whakapuaki
"He tomokanga paepae he ara ki te aotūroa."
TÄ“nei te mihi maioha ki a koutou i runga anÅ i ngÄ tini Ähuatanga o te wÄ. Ka rere tonu ngÄ mihi aroha ki a koutou Åtira ki a tÄtou. NÄ Tuteira Pohatu Ä“nei kohikohinga kÅrero, kohikohinga whakaaro i hÅmai ki te rÅpÅ« nei.
Tuteira Pohatu generously shared the above whakataukÄ« as a metaphor for inservice teacher education. A possible translation is “crossing a threshold that leads to a path to the futureâ€. The whakataukÄ« also embodies analogies of process and ritual that may show the way to personal and professional enlightenment. In the same way, inservice teacher education draws on ways of working that involve complex interactions and that may lead to empowerment as a learner and as a leader.
