What this paper is about

Edit What this paper is about Content
Welcome to the paper Te Whāriki in Action: Belonging and Contribution. In this paper, we will work together to consider the important strands of Belonging and Contribution in Te Whāriki. A sense of belonging is essential to children's and teachers' contribution to teaching and learning in early childhood settings. We will examine these concepts in a range of ways, in relation to yourself as a student, as a future teacher, and in relation to children and your teaching practice. Welcome aboard - I look forward to exploring with you!
