Sir toby curtis (9 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Born into poverty in 1939, Toby Curtis rose to the peak of achievement in Maoridom. His long history of leadership in education, broadcasting and the powerful Te Arawa confederation of iwi belied the challenges he had to overcome, and the legacy of colonisation that still overshadow the fields in which he contributed. In this thoughtful and lively memoir, Sir Toby looks back frankly on his life and career - interspersing memoir with text boxes that address policy and academic issues in education, language and indigenous rights. He reflects on a teaching career spent creating connection to tikanga and te reo for his students; leadership in broadcasting, where he helped chart the path to creating an independent voice for Maori; and his 16 years as the leader of Rotorua's influential Te Arawa Lakes Trust. Toby was knighted in 2014 for his services to Maori education and yet, as this book's subtitle and contents assert, up until his death on 17 August 2022, he saw that there was a lot more work for him and others to do. *Hard-hitting memoir of Maori leader in education and broadcasting*Testament to Sir Toby, who passed away on 17 August 2022*Mixes personal stories with reflections on NZ society*Lays out vision for lifting Maori educational achievement Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
