Abstract
This chapter has two purposes. The first is to give a description of the Kiwi Standards and Ngā Whanaketanga Rumaki Māori, the Māori assessment system that has accompanied the Kiwi Standards. It outlines the requirements and guidelines around the Kiwi Standards and Whanaketanga recognising that this has changed in various ways since first introduced. The second purpose of this chapter is to discuss the available research. The RAINS (Research, Analysis and Insight into National Standards) study was undertaken by the author and provides most of the findings used in Chaps. 5 and 7 of this book. This chapter summarises the scope and methodology of RAINS and considers other relevant research also.
