Talanoa Ako is an education programme developed by The Ministry of Education for Pacific parents, families and communities. The programme supports them to build knowledge and confidence, enabling them to champion their children’s education and learning journeys.
In 2022, I was contracted by The Ministry of Education in partnership with NZQA to create career resources, Saili Malo, to enhance the delivery of Talanoa Ako across Aotearoa. I was responsible for writing all of the workbook content, with support from the Pacific career development practitioners.
The Saili Malo career resource Level Up! Prepare for your Future is a set of activity workbooks developed exclusively for Talanoa Ako partners and provides resources focused on career activities that learners of different ages and their parents can both do, reflect and discussion. The resource is now available (in electronic form) to schools and educators alike who can use these in many different ways in embedding careers into their teaching.
Initial feedback from Talanoa Ako partners have been extremely positive, with appreciation for the use of relevant Pacific role models, and culturally appropriate activities.
