A Culturally Responsive Pedagogy of Relations • Where power is shared between self-determining individuals within non- dominating relations of interdependence; • where culture counts; • where learning is interactive, dialogic and spirals; • where participants are connected to one another; and • where there is a common vision for what constitutes excellence in educational outcomes. (Bishop, Berryman, Cavanagh & Teddy, 2007)  Draws from metaphors found in kura kaupapa Māori (Smith, 1997) and the narratives of experience of Māori students, their whānau, principals and teachers in Phase 1 of Te Kotahitanga (Bishop, Berryman, Tiakiwai and Richardson, 2001)  Represents a merger between of culturally responsive pedagogy described by Gay (2000) and Villegas & Lucas (2002) and a pedagogy of relations described by Sidorkin (2002) and Cummins (1995).
