Having a repertoire of evidence-based teaching practices, strategies, and pedagogies enables kaiako to select approaches to support the learning of ākonga.  

The ability to change practice is “adaptive expertise” or tautōhito urutau. Tautōhito urutau (responsive practice) is when kaiako seek to learn what they can do differently to support ākonga progress.   

It’s important to think about the impact of any strategy you might decide to use and how it is working for ākonga. It’s also important to note that ākonga will need to learn how to use a particular strategy before you consider whether it is an effective way to support their learning.
