Ako is the journal for members of NZEI Te Riu Roa. There are almost 50,000 NZEI Te Riu Roa members throughout Aotearoa New Zealand. They are professional educators – teachers, principals, centre managers, teacher aides, administrators and many more – who work in primary schools, intermediates, kura, area schools, early childhood centres and secondary schools.
Ako includes a mix of shorter opinion pieces and in-depth articles as well as book reviews, videos and educator profiles. It explores best practice in education, new and topical research, and provides a valuable resource for educators around the country.
Previously a bi-annual print and online journal, Ako is now exclusively online. You can download previous print issues here.
In te ao Māori, the concept of ako means both to teach and to learn. It recognises and celebrates the way knowledge and understanding grow out of shared learning experiences, for teachers and learners.
