Abstract

Tēnā koutou e ngā iwi, e ngā reo, e ngā kārangatanga maha o te motu. Ka rere ngā tai o mihi ki a koutou i runga i te kaupapa nui o te wā, arā, ko te whakakotahi i te whakaaro me te whakahirahira i Te Tiriti o Waitangi hei tūāpapa mātāmua mō te mātauranga o Aotearoa.

The work of teachers in Aotearoa is deeply relational, situated within the ongoing story of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. This special issue, Memory and Hope: Living and Honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi in Pedagogy and Practice, explores how teachers can embody the aspirations of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, navigating the challenges of colonisation’s legacy while fostering hope for equitable futures. This editorial reflects on the interwoven threads of memory and hope, examining how teachers might honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi in a politically complex and diverse society.
