Te Hātepe kia tū hei Pūtahi ReoruaSteps to become a bilingual centre
Ka whaiwhakaarotia e Aotearoa Reorua ngā tono eke noa ka tukuna e ngā tāone.
He torutoru noa iho ngā wāteatanga. Ko ngā pūtahi ka whaiwhakaaro tuatahitia ko ērā e ū ana ki ngā paerau i raro iho nei;

- Ētahi haumi kua whakapaua kētia ki ngā kaupapa reorua
Aotearoa Reorua will consider expressions of interest from towns and cities.
There are limited spaces on the programme. Priority will be given to centres that meet basic criteria including:
- Good mana whenua - council relationship that creates a solid foundation to move forward
- Interest from both mana whenua and Council to participate in Aotearoa Reorua
- Awareness of and connection with reo Māori resources in the community

Ko te tautohu a te mana whenua me te kaunihera kia tutuki ngā paearu whakaurunga me te:
- Whaimana o te haerenga o te kaupapa reorua
- Hīkaka o te mana whenua me te kaunihera kia mahi tahi e tutuki ai te wāhi hei pūtahi Aotearoa Reorua
- Kounga o ngā manako reorua o ngā tira e rua
- Wātea mai o ngā rauemi ā-hapori pēnei i ngā whakaihuwaka o te reo; i ngā kura reo Māori me ngā wāhi rumaki, reorua hoki.
- Whakaae a te mana whenua me te kaunihera kia whanaketia te Kawenata Mahitahi
Mana whenua and Council self-identify how they meet enrolment criteria including:
- Current status of their reorua journey
- Willingness from both mana whenua and council to work together to progress as an Aotearoa Reorua centre
- High-level, joint reorua aspirations
- Available and accessible community-based resources such as bilingual leaders and champions; Reo Māori education providers and potential reorua or immersion domains
- Mana whenua and council agree to develop Terms of Reference.
Hei whaiwhai noa ake i te whakatau kia mahi tahi, ko tā tēnei wāhanga he akiaki i te mana whenua me te kaunihera kia tau tūmatanui nei tētehi manawanui tōpū kia anga whakamua hei pūtahi reorua.
Ki konei tonoa ngātahitia ai e te mana whenua me te kaunihera ētahi pūtea Aotearoa Reorua.
Following an agreement to work together, this stage encourages mana whenua and council to make a public joint commitment to become or advance as a reorua centre.
Council and mana whenua can submit a joint application for Aotearoa Reorua funding.
Ngā Whakaritenga
Tēnā, inā hoki kua tau kē te herenga o te mana whenua me te kaunihera, me tīmata rāua ki te whakarite i te āhua o te rautaki reorua i roto i tō rāua pūtahi. Me 24-marama te roa o tēnei mahere e whai wāhi hoki nei:
- ngā whāinga?
- te hunga e haepapa ana?
- te hunga kua tohua ki te whakatutuki i ngā whāinga?
- ko ēhea ngā whāinga ka whakatutuki ngātahitia?
- te huarahi ka whāia ki te whakatutuki i ngā whāinga
- te tahua pūtea
Ka whai wāhi ngā māngai ki ngā rauemi whakarite nō roto mai i Te Kete Aotearoa Reorua.
Whakatinanatanga
Kia ū rā anō ngā tira e rua nei ki tā rāua rautaki reo e whai wāhi mai ana ngā 'hiahia' katoa kua whakamāramahia i ngā whakaritenga o runga ake rā, ko te mahi ināianei ko te hoenga ngātahitanga o te waka e kitea ai ngā hua nui.
Ka whakaaetia te urunga o ia pūtahi ki Te Kete Aotearoa Reorua - Mahi. Ka 24-marama te roa o te rautaki. Hei wāhanga o te whakatinantanga, ka mate ia pūtahi ki te tuku pūrongo ahu whakamua i ia marama ki ngā kaimahi o Aotearoa Reorua.
Te Anamata
Ko te manako i tēnei wā kua tutuki kē i te mana whenua me te kaunihera ā rātou whāinga tōpū kia whaiwhakaarohia ake ētahi atu whāinga tōpū e ora tonu ai te reoruatanga i te hapori.
Mā te ono marama nei e taea ai e ngā tira e rua te tautuhi tētahi mahere anamata e tū motuhake ai a Aotearoa Reorua.
Kia tae te pūtahi ki tēnei taumata nei ko te manako ka eke ia hei pūtahi tuakana nō tētahi pūtahi hou kātahi anō ka uru ki a Aotearoa Reorua ki te tautoko, ki te akiaki hoki i tō rātou haerenga reorua.
Planning
Now that mana whenua and council have made a commitment, it's time for both parties to start planning what a joint rautaki reorua (bilingual plan) will look like for their centre. This joint plan should be for a 24 month period and must cover:
- What are your goals?
- Who, from each party, will be responsible?
- Which party will lead out each goal? What goal/s can be completed together?
- How will the reorua goals be achieved?
- A budget for the rautaki reorua.
Representatives will have access to planning resources in Te Kete Aotearoa Reorua.
Implementation
Once both parties have committed to their joint rautaki reorua for their community that covers all the 'must includes' described in the planning stage above, it's now about 'doing the mahi to bring the rewards'.
Each enrolled centre will have access to Te Kete Aotearoa Reorua - Mahi (implementation resources) and will receive funding to support the completion of their 24 month long rautaki. As part of the programme, each centre will be required to submit progress update reports every six months to Aotearoa Reorua staff during the implementation period.
Future-setting
The ambition by this stage is that mana whenua and councils enrolled in the programme have achieved their initial joint reorua goals and now it's time to consider what further joint objectives these respective partners aim to achieve to keep bilingualism thriving in their community.
When a centre has reached this stage we expect they will become a tuakana centre to at least one newly enrolled centre on the Aotearoa Reorua programme to support and encourage them on their reorua journey.
Ka tū a Aotearoa Reorua hei pūtahi aroturuki. Ko tā ngā pūtahi he whakatutuki i ngā whāinga kua tohua hei whakaea mā tēnā, mā tēnā i tā rātou rautaki reorua tōpū.
Aotearoa Reorua will be monitoring centres through their participation in the programme. Centres will be expected to meet the objectives detailed in their joint bilingual strategy.
E ora rawa atu nei a Aotearoa Reorua. Ko tāna he whakaai ake, he whakaniko ake hoki i a ia anō nā ngā akoranga me ngā whakahoki kōrero a tēnā pūtahi, a tēnā pūtahi.
Kei ngā pūnaha rorohiko e whakahaeretia nei e te DIA ētahi rauemi e taea ana e ngā kaiuru te whakamahi.
Hei wāhanga o te arotake, ko tā DIA he tautuhi i ngā tikanga whakahaere pai rawa atu e whāia nei e ngā kaiuru, tae noa atu ki ētahi huarahi ka whāia ki te whakapai ake i ngā rauemi e ngāwari ake ai te tukanga kia tū, kia anga whakamua rānei hei pūtahi reorua.
Aotearoa Reorua is a living programme that will actively refine, modify and improve based on feedback and learnings from each participating centre.
The DIA-managed online platform houses resources that can be securely accessed by enrolled participants.
As part of the review, DIA seeks to identify best practices adopted by participants as well as ways to refine or modify resources to make it as easy as possible for centres to become or advance as reorua centres.

When thinking about your town or city, that you believe would benefit from joining Aotearoa Reorua as a bilingual centre, who are the the mana whenua iwi, or iwi with interests within the centre's boundary?
Aotearoa Reorua encourages councils and mana whenua to consider the following questions:
- Are there more than one mana whenua iwi/ hapū within the bounds of the centre? Are they all involved?
- Do mana whenua iwi/ hapū have a reo Māori plan that can be drawn from? Does council?
- Are there reo Māori or reorua spaces that have already been established within the centre's boundary? How were council and mana whenua iwi/ hapū involved then?
- Do council and mana whenua aspire to create a reorua centre together?
Aotearoa Reorua recognises that all centres across NZ are unique. The questions above help identify who should be involved and acknowledges existing efforts while recognising that town and city boundaries and tribal boundaries often intersect and overlap.
