Sarah Te One is a New Zealand academic, researcher, and advocate in early childhood education. Her work focuses on children’s rights, sociocultural approaches to learning, and transitions in early education. She has taught in kindergartens, worked in teacher education, and published widely on the intersection of early childhood policy and the rights of the child.[1]

Career

Te One has over 25 years of experience in the early childhood sector as a teacher, researcher, and union advocate.[2] She trained in both social work and law, and is admitted as a barrister and solicitor of the High Court of New Zealand.[3]

She has lectured on childhood sociology, children’s rights, and early childhood pedagogy, and has worked with the New Zealand Council for Educational Research (NZCER).[1]

Research

Te One’s research examines children’s rights within early childhood education, especially the application of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in practice.[4] She has studied transitions from early childhood to school, sociocultural assessment, and participatory research methods with young children.[1]

From 2010 to 2012 she co-led the project *Active adult participation in early childhood education: Enhancing child learning and community wellness*, funded through the Teaching and Learning Research Initiative.[5]
