The Manaiakalani Pedagogy is expected to achieve high behavioural and cognitive engagement in all learning spaces. 

It centers around the PLD implementation and the development of the "Learn, Create, Share" way of learning. This pedagogy drives toward visible and ubiquitous learning, strong learner empowerment and connectedness to grow knowledge. 

The teaching and learning frameworks of the individual schools are the umbrella mechanism to activate and sustain the pedagogy, which is essential for learning, whānau engagement and device readiness.
