We work to shape an education system that delivers equitable and excellent outcomes

Our organisation is made up of talented and committed people around Aotearoa, from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures.

While we work in different groups and on different things, we all strive every day to make the biggest difference we can for our ākonga in our education system.

Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga recognises the partnership founded under Te Tiriti o Waitangi between Māori and the Crown.

We are committed to having Te Tiriti o Waitangi at the forefront of our work for and with Māori students, their whānau, hapū and iwi.

Mō tēnei tūranga | About this role
We currently have 2 Positive Behaviour for Learning School-Wide (PB4L-SW) Practitioner positions available in our Waikato Region.

PB4L-SW is part of the PB4L suite which includes a number of evidence-based initiatives that can be implemented alone or in combination.

These initiatives can support learners at a whole-school level, or they can be targeted for the needs of specific learners at a group or individual level.

The Ministry of Education is committed to inclusive practice and all our PB4L initiatives aim to encourage pro-social behaviour that leads to improved learner engagement and achievement.

We work alongside families, early childhood educators, schools, and other agencies to make a positive difference for children and young people.

PB4L School-Wide [hyperlink] is a Universal (whole school) approach to improving learner wellbeing and achievement. PB4L School-wide enables schools to create positive environments that promote caring relationships and quality teaching and learning.

School-Wide Practitioners work alongside schools supporting them to develop systems and practices that foster safe and inclusive environments in a culturally responsive way.

We also offer:

  • Flexible working arrangements where everyone feels valued & supported
  • The ability to purchase extra days leave
  • A range of employee network groups
  • An inclusive environment that encourages your personal cultural competency journey
  • Development and learning, including mentorship programmes and internal secondments
  • Wellness initiatives to support your overall health and wellbeing

Mātau rōpū ake | About our ministry, group, and team

At Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga, we work to provide services and support nationally, regionally and locally to the education sector, and in some cases, directly to ākonga and whanau.
