Donovan Farnham (Author)

He kaiako, he matanga hapai, he kaiarahi rautaki hoki a Te Ahunui i roto i te ao matauranga. I kuraina katoatia ia ki te reo Maori, mai i te kohanga reo, a puta noa tona ihu i te whare wananga. He ika a Whiro a Te Ahunui i Te Whare Wananga o Tamaki Makaurau (Bachelor of Education: Huarahi Maori Specialisation) me Te Wananga o Aotearoa (Te Panekiretanga o te Reo). Kua whai raihana hoki ia ki te whakawhiti reo, ki te whakamaori, ki te whakapakeha ano hoki (Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Maori).

Donovan is a te reo Maori teacher, a consultant, and a strategic leader in Maori-medium education. His education was through the medium of te reo Maori, from kohanga reo, through to university. Donovan is an alumnus of The University of Auckland (Bachelor of Education: Huarahi Maori Specialisation) and Te Wananga o Aotearoa (Te Panekiretanga o te Reo). He is also a licensed interpreter and translator of the Maori language (Maori Language Commission).
