Waikato
Our mission is support the well-being of children using a holistic approach, which includes uplifting cultural identity, the alleviation of poverty and a reconnection with the environment. We aim to interrupt the inter-generational cycle of disadvantage ensuring all children have access to quality education and opportunities, developing long-term leadership and self-reliance.
We achieve our goals by funding initiatives that improve educational, environmental, social and cultural development outcomes for children. From 2022 we will focus on high-risk neurodiverse children struggling with the basics, particularly literacy in Waikato and Hamilton communities. There will be attention given to tamariki with developmental, neurological, learning difficulties e.g. dyslexia. It is crucial that all children are educated in a way that; (a) best suits their learning needs; and; (b) will positively impact their educational journey.

Creating a Literate Community II 2023 28 September 2023
It is essential that we take action to improve literacy outcomes for struggling children. If we implement effective, evidenced-based instruction, we can expect MOST children will learn to read well, regardless of their background. Join us to dig into the conversation! This is your opportunity to learn what to teach, how to teach and why you teach literacy using evidence-based instruction. Conference held at the Distinction Conference Centre, Hamilton.
There are a number of factors that can contribute to reading difficulties, including neurological differences, dyslexia, ineffective interventions, and limited access to skilled, qualified educators. This conference will provide information on how to identify children who are struggling to read and explain pathways to ensure they receive the help they need and deserve.
We have many children 8-14 year old children, who, through no fault of their own, are unable to access the curriculum as they cannot yet read and write. This event will be an important step in improving literacy rates for these and most students. Here are some specific ways that we can support children with learning difficulties.
By working together, we can make a real difference in the lives of children with learning difficulties and we encourage you to get involved and help make a difference. If you are new to evidence based teaching methods this will help you navigate your way into a skilled educator for struggling students.
