TEACHING & LEARNING

Te Ara Kōtihi

Te Ara Kōtihi means ‘the pathway to success‘ and it’s our organisation-wide strategy that provides structure, principles and goals to ensure we are all working as a collective - to provide high quality, equitable teaching and learning that enables all learners to meet their goals and aspirations.


The whakataukī (a Māori proverb) Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou ka ora ai te iwi, With your food basket and my food basket we will thrive frames our strategy. This highlights the importance of having a shared purpose and everyone contributing to ensure we thrive as a collective.


Te Ara Kōtihi is a central part of the academyEX commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi with positive relationships and values (Manaaki, Rangatiratanga, Ako and Pono) driving our practice.

GRADUATION

Celebrating our Learners Success

Graduation is one of the most special times of the year at academyEX. We love celebrating the hard work, dedication and positive impact learning has had for our students, but also our faculty who support our learners through their journey. Our most recent graduation ceremony in 2022 was a celebration of those who have grown perosnally and professionaly, built new knowledge and capability beyond what they thought they were capable of - found confidence to uncover their authentic selves.

LEARNER SAFETY, INCLUSION AND WELLBEING

Providing a safe and inclusive learning environment

SafeLearningEnvironment

Our Commitment: At academyEX, we firmly believe in creating an inclusive and supportive learning environment for all our learners. We are committed to practices that eliminate discrimination and promote equal opportunities for every individual, including those with disabilities. Our approach is rooted in a strengths-based philosophy, acknowledging the unique abilities and talents of each learner. We strive to create an environment where every learner feels empowered, valued, supported, and inspired to reach their highest aspirations.

Our Learner Wellbeing and Safety Strategic Goals:

  • Provide an inclusive and safe learning environment (both in person, and online) that enables diverse learners to thrive as individuals and key members of their communities.

  • Proactively engage with learners and stakeholders to ensure continuous improvement of learner wellbeing and safety policies.

  • Support learners and alumni, both in New Zealand and globally, in responsive, inclusive, culturally appropriate ways to create a strong sense of connection and community.

We have a Disability Action Plan which outlines academyEX’s commitment to supporting all learners and to actions to support change and improve outcomes

We regularly review our practices to ensure that we continue to meet all outcomes of the Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice 2021. Our latest self-review report can be found here and outlines the steps taken to evaluate and actions identified to continue to improve our practices.
