Mrs Bowkett investigated Kaupapa M膩ori approaches to leadership that could assist secondary school principals and teachers to foster an environment to facilitate more appropriately, in M膩ori terms, the learning and teaching of M膩ori students who are attending mainstream secondary schools and Kaupapa M膩ori schools in Aotearoa New Zealand. The research was framed within Kaupapa M膩ori theories that allowed M膩ori to view the world from a position of authority that positively reinforced M膩ori knowledge systems in a modern context. Her findings showed that Kaupapa M膩ori approaches to leadership enhanced the quality of the educational experience and the cultural and learning success of M膩ori students. The implications for school leadership and future M膩ori student achievement indicate that principals have to make space for educational leadership that has both generic aspects of educational leadership and distinctive features of M膩ori educational leadership.
