POESIS
A poesis is the act of creation, particularly in the realm of art, literature, or philosophy. Derived from the ancient Greek word "poiesis," meaning "to make" or "to bring into being," poesis refers to the process of transforming something into a new form.
It is more than just the crafting of words or objects—it is about giving life to ideas and imagination, where creativity merges with meaning. Therefore, in this context, poesis refers to the creative and active process of learning and intellectual discovery.

This Google site Kete was developed as a result of a 2025 Teach NZ Sabbatical, undertaken by Keryn King - RTLB Practice leader in Cluster 28, Ngā Hau e whā, in Aotearoa NZ.
During the sabbatical, Keryn collated information from a range of research articles and material on the theme of Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy (CSP). Keryn also invited teachers to contribute ideas from their own teaching experiences working with diverse language learners via a Google Form.
A range of practical activities have been curated into a kete for teachers and schools to use to enhance and strengthen CSP and are presented on each themed page in the Google site.
