really helped me.
Programmes I learned so much with my study which has helped me with my work. I am now able to
identify children who have different styles of learning, and have strategies to help those children.
Te Rito Maioha is really culturally aware which is important to me because I am Samoan.
Hōtaka They encouraged me to bring my cultural perspective and upbringing into my practice.
Yes – balancing work and study was really hard, but I actually really enjoyed it. Having an online
support network of other teachers that I could contact for help when I needed it was great.
