Critically conscious, culturally sustaining leadership and learning.

Transforming the educational experiences of Māori, other indigenous, and minoritised learners.

“After a lifetime of education, I firmly believe the greatest barrier to each of us making change in our schools is our own thinking—which we do have the power to change.”

CREATE CHANGE WITH ANN

Professional Development

  • How is your anti-racism programme? How is your critical consciousness?

  • How are your wider and culturally sustaining, understanding of success and achievement?

Events, Workshops & Speaking

  • I guarantee to challenge your thinking about the monocultural nature of our education systems and schooling, and the barriers it creates for students who are not from this group in our education process.

Webinars on Demand

  • After rising to the challenge of Covid-19, which changed learning almost overnight, we are now either back to business-as-usual in schools or to a blended version of what used to be normal. But, what if “normal” is the problem?

Ann is a highly experienced educator, mentor, writer, and researcher who promotes developing a learning approach centred on students’ cultural identities and their critical understanding and analysis of society.

Ann’s education consultancy work has a specific focus on this critically conscious, culturally sustaining practice and leadership.

 FREE DOWNLOAD Audit Your School’s White Spaces

7-step guided assessment tool
with bonus Virtual White Spaces tool

It guides you to consider every aspect of your learning environment, and your school’s operations and practice from the perspective of a Māori learner, to identify those spaces in your school and in your teaching practice that are not culturally sustaining. These are the places that require the student to engage with learning on monocultural terms, rather than through building on their own unique identities, norms and values.
