Teachers value respectful and collaborative relationships with colleagues so that they can deliver high-quality teaching and learning. Contributing to an inclusive, supportive and respectful workplace culture that promotes teacher and learner wellbeing as well as seeking to resolve conflicts respectfully and constructively are just two examples of engaging in professional, respectful and collaborative relationships with colleagues as set out in Our Code | Ngā Tikanga Matatika.
Racist exchanges explores interpersonal racism and supports teachers to identify the pathways they can take so that they and their colleagues feel safe to call others in to conversations about racism. |
