Aromatawai is an approach that uses all the senses and the environment to ensure learners and communities can be served in a way that can help transform their educational outcomes and meet their aspirations. Effective Aromatawai supports learners to strengthen their own capabilities to grow into powerful, self-determining leaders. Developing kaiako competency and confidence to create and use appropriate aromatawai practices (of learning and for learning) is important if Māori educational success as Māori is to be fully realised.
