What is happening

Since 2021, we have worked with our ITE leads to provide better ongoing support for teacher education students.

A part of that work is the ongoing series of hui for teacher educators. The hui are being run between 2022-2025 and cover the most relevant, up-to-date information about important curriculum, NCEA and government priorities.

This includes:

  • the refreshed New Zealand Curriculum
  • the redesign of Te Marautanga o Aotearoa
  • Te Whāriki a te Kōhanga Reo
  • changes to NCEA
  • the knowledge and skills that schools must cover each year in reading, writing, maths and science.
