Māori Performing Arts

Kia ora, nau mai haere mai

Welcome to the Assessment Support Materials for Māori Performing Arts.

Māori Performing Arts refers to performing art forms that are uniquely Māori such as mōteatea and haka. The unit standards in Māori Performing Arts recognise skills and knowledge in this area.

The resources on this page are designed to help teachers and tutors assess ākonga against the relevant Māori Performing Arts unit standards listed in the Directory of Assessment and Skills Standards (DASS).

Assessors can use the assessment support material for the Māori Performing Arts unit standards to develop tasks and assessment schedules.
