Assessment - The Treaty in the Workplace
Overview - This section allows the student to apply the principles of the Treaty specifically to their work environment. The emphasis is on applying these principles in a practical setting, while at the same time, introducing them in a non-threatening way. This can require a substantial change in how staff in a workplace perceive the Treaty as well as how the principles can be woven in to the operations of an organisation.
The Treaty of Waitangi is now interpreted as having both provisions and principles. The provisions are what the Treaty actually says, or provides for. The principles are how those provisions are to be applied in a modern context, in which circumstances have often changed radically. In many work environments there is an onus to incorporate Treaty principles not only into the strategic plans of the organisations, but also into work practice.
Method - In a report (choose a format that suits you) relate some of the principles and your own understanding of the Treaty to the area in which you work. Describe how these principles can be applied to your work environment in a non-threatening way.
Write an introduction (no more than 200 words) outlining the topics your report will be covering.
Write around 2000 words on the details of this topic (each one under separate headings), including:
A discussion of principles of the Treaty.
How the Treaty principles can be applied to your particular area of work (if you do not currently have a workplace, use a hypothetical example).
Finish the essay with a conclusion (around 300 words) which sums up the main points relating to aspects of the implementation of Treaty principles in the workplace.
Important note: at least ten published sources are required for this essay. These will mostly be found in journal articles, books, newspaper articles, films, transcripts or recordings of live events, speeches etc. Please google 'published sources' if there is any confusion on published sources.
Length: 2,500 words plus references.
