Niho taniwha : improving teaching and learning for ākonga Māori / Melanie Riwai-Couch. - Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand : Huia Publishers , 2021. - xxv, 289 pages : colour illustrations ; 27 cm

Includes bibliographical references.

The book is centred around the Niho Taniwha model in which both the learner and the teacher move through three phases in the teaching and learning process: Whai, Ako and Mau. Educational success for Maori students is about more than academic achievement - it includes all aspects of hauora (health and wellbeing). This book demonstrates how to create learning environments that encompass self-esteem, happiness and engagement in Maori language, identity and culture.
