Editor's Notes
- 9.15 am Welcome Introductions Messages about lunch/ toilets/ fire alarms/ comfort
- Need white board marker Involves observation and experience I expect we’ll find a lot of variety?
- Website Request See also Gallery Needed: Spotlights Show Online Community- explain how it works, invite forum participation and suggestion- 10 min - especially South, East Central, West
- As individuals As members of a range of communities. Starting with the principle: He tagata, he tagata, he tagata. Before we think of programmes, resources and environments, we have to start with people, and we have to take people as they are. I’ll be covering some of these points separately later, but we have to begin here, whether they are Pasifika- whatever that means, or Asian, Maori or Pakeha… Tom and Angela of Tagata Pasifika- Pasifika pinups
- What is behind the smiling or scowling student in your classroom? Oceania- Hau’ofa- Not “islands in a distant sea” but “ a sea of islands” Pacific nations- loosely related to cultural areas Tom Davis novel Vaka, John Pule’s novel Shark that ate the sun- intermigration and intermarriage through the traditional Pacific What is the quality of these experiences? What are the effects on our studnts?
- A long rich and sometimes tragic history If you read the novels and the poems or see the plays and films, you will find alongside the laughter, a lot of hurt. The New Zealand experience has often been a sad or cruel one for Pasifika people.
- Where do most of your students fit into this schema
- Deficit thinking is looking at the problems and ascribing them to the cultures and behaviour of the group involved… Do we blame Pasifika for the situation, or do we look for reasons why there has been disengagement and alienation, and attempt to reverse the situation?
- With debt acknowledgement to Michelle Johansen, IFTE It is important that we not only engage Pasifika students with their own culture but that we present Pasifika culture and experience to non-Pasifika students in a way that accurately and fairly expresses them How can we bring classical (worlds and) works to our Pasifika learners in a relevant and meaningful way?
- It is important that we fairly represent the Pacific Islands and their cultures and histories for/with all students: -Pasifika students- island-born and NZ-born -Maori and Pakeha/Palagi and Pasifika students- some who go for Pacific island holidays, others who don’t -Other immigrant minority groups
- Discuss: what are the issues? Where do we go when we can’t find information- digital or people
- anything on the issues? from MPIA? MPIA statement: see Diversity HR and Responsibility para 2 Pacific languages Language strategies Action Issues: PPTA and NZEI supporting the stand for Pacific languages
- Beginning to request materials for NL Schools Collection
- Research indicates that students who learn more than one language become more capable in both. And experience shows students like to compare texts Beginnings and endings with lifetimes in between-about death: Eng/ Samoan/ Tongan, Eng/ Fijian/ Hindi, also Pidgin On Wheelers website, search in keywords section using language terms eg English Samoan, Englist Tongan Tupu good but not being used enough- put them into circulation/ under appropriate language- face out
- Counting, alphabet, colours etc Books and charts
- Digital resources
- PEC or MPIA language courses
- Tagata tangata Level 4-5 Pasifika level 5 We need these plus Illustrated History of the South Pacific etc to provide the conceptual framework, but then we can use additional information from other sources. Pacific Ocean/ Prevost- mainly scientific, but good background on economic issues
- Samoa by Evotia Tamua, Pacific Pride ed Graeme Lay
- Popular in schools: good information and “outsider” comment

- “ Play scripts differ from other literature in that they are more “live” than say, the novel. Students are asked, within the context of the teaching and learning of Drama to not only study the texts, but to live them, to become the characters that are presented within them. No matter how cleverly written, within the genre of the novel, students are never asked to become the notorious Heathcliffe in Wuthering Heights , or to feel as Ponyboy does in The Outsiders . Within Drama, the literary imagination is asked to stretch further- students are required to become , even momentarily, the people of Oscar Kightley’s Fresh off the Boat and Niu Sila . While being allowed to explore Pasifika characters in this way can initially be empowering (because here Pasifika people are present in a textual, officially endorsed context), it can also be harmful to the student’s sense of their own culture and identity. The characters and storylines of these plays often serve to reinforce dangerous stereotypes, and by their inclusion in the officially recommended course of instruction, our Pasifika learners may be receiving harmful messages about their identity and citizenship in New Zealand society. Instead of becoming admirable, noble, powerful individuals, they are too often presented with roles that are detrimental to their perceptions of Pasifika people in society- they are the dole-bludgers, the over-stayers, the cleaners, the unemployed, the underachieving, the socially inept, the dusky maidens, and the ig noble savages.” then quotes Patricia Grace (Pihama p 239): “ if books [playscripts] do not do these things, do not reinforce values, actions, customs, culture and identity, then they are dangerous… If there are not books [playscripts] that tell us about ourselves but only tell us about others, then they are saying ‘you do not exist’ and that is dangerous… However, if there are books [playscripts] that are about you and they are untrue, that is very dangerous… If there are books [playscripts] about you but they are negative and insensitive so that they are saying ‘you are not good’, that is dangerous.” - comments from Michelle Johansen, Much ado about English (IFTE Conference), April 2011, on the NCEA Drama Curriculum

Although the great majority of the children might be brown the school’s colour can still be “invisible white”. A strong case for the cultural perspective of Pasifika students.)

- “ Pasifika children often underachieve in literacy and exhibit disengagement and alientation at school. National and international reports on literacy performance continue to reveal low levels of achievement in reading among Pasifika students, to the extent that raising the levels of achievement in this area has become a focus for targeted funding in MOE initiatives.” (Motivating Pasifika students in literacy learning, in Should this be a slide for discussion?
