Welcome to TOCK educators. TOCK has been busy putting together information and fun activities to help you to engage a new generation of Tamariki using the principles of Kaitiakitanga.
We have grouped these under the headings below. Simply click on the words highlighted in blue.
Resources marked with the icon are exclusive to Educator Members. If you wish to become an educator member, this will give access to lots of additional resources and will help us fund further environmental workshops in NZ and around the world. All funds go back into the delivery of the programme as the TOCK.earth social enterprise is driven by passion, not profit.
