This  \npaper explores the role of teacher-education providers in equipping their graduates to deliver that curriculum. Framed by an appreciative inquiry approach, data were collected from courses displayed on the websites of ten early-childhood tertiary teacher-education providers,  \nfollowed by interviews with four participants from one provider.  \nFindings revealed that providers considered their key role was in  \ndeveloping student teachers’ cultural understanding and commitment.  \nAlthough the paper focuses on a bicultural curriculum in Aotearoa  \nNew Zealand, the findings have implications internationally for  \nlecturers who seek to provide student teachers with culturally  \ninclusive programmes.  \nIntroduction  \nThis paper investigates how teacher-education providers equip their students to be effective in their bicultural practice and at the same time more effectively meet the New Zealand Government standards by which graduating students are assessed (Ministry of Education, 2007) . It builds on a larger study (Jenkin, 2010) which explored mainstream early childhood teachers’ implementation of the bicultural curriculum. That study found teachers struggled with the bicultural aspects of the early childhood curriculum, Te Whāriki (Ministry of Education, 1996) .  \nThere is a mandate in New Zealand for all teachers regardless of sector (early childhood, primary, and secondary) to provide a bicultural curriculum, which in this context refers to Māori (indigenous) and British (colonisers) . Whilst the term ‘bicultural’ in the Aotearoa New Zealand context refers to the cultures of Māori and British, the term is contested because of the perceived lack of balance in power relationships between the two peoples; as a result, defining it is problematic (Bishop, 1996; Jenkin, 2010; O’Sullivan, 2007; Spoonley, 1995). There are, however, two recurring themes within definitions, particularly with regards to Ministry of Education documentation: that of partnership between Māori and non-Māori and recognition ofTe Tiriti o Waitangi / The Treaty of Waitangi.  \nTe Tiriti o Waitangi is considered to be the founding document of Aotearoa New Zealand as it was the treaty setting out the relationship between Māori and the British Crown in 1840. With the mandate that the treaty is incorporated into all sectors ofthe education system, what is crucial to understand is that this not only for Māori students but all students regardless of ethnicity. As Jenkin and Broadley (2013, p. 15) state “It is worth noting, that had Te Tiriti o Waitangi not been signed, there would be no bicultural curriculum, and  \nalthough there may have been indigenous education, it may not have been the concern of mainstream education”. This means that teachers and, therefore, ","cbCaih8B1n3MkAYb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih8B1n3MkAYb","pdf",710084,18,"English","# Introduction\n## Bicultural curriculum mandate in New Zealand\n## Te Tiriti o Waitangi and recognition in education\n## Te Whāriki principles and strands\n## Role and expectations of teacher-education providers","[{\"question\":\"What requirement do New Zealand Graduating Teacher Standards impose on graduating teachers?\",\"answer\":\"Graduating teachers are expected to be able to recognise the Treaty of Waitangi as extending equal status and rights to Māori and Pākehā alike, and teacher-education programmes must ensure graduates can meet these standards.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is the term “bicultural” described as contested in the Aotearoa New Zealand context?\",\"answer\":\"It is contested due to perceived imbalance in power relationships between Māori and British peoples, which makes defining biculturalism problematic even though recurring themes appear in education documentation.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the paper investigate the role of teacher-education providers?\",\"answer\":\"It uses an appreciative inquiry approach: data are collected from courses listed on the websites of ten early-childhood tertiary teacher-education providers, followed by interviews with four participants from one provider.\"}]","Investigation of Teacher Education Delivery of Bicultural Education - Volume 41 - Issue 6 - Article 10 | PDF",1792077754,45]
