Curriculum Refresh Workshop January 2023.pptxJanine Higgins - The New Zealand Curriculum Refresh
All 8 learning areas of The New Zealand Curriculum are being refreshed between now and 2026. Why is our curriculum being refreshed? What will need to change in my practice? When do I need to accommodate changes? Janice answered your questions and your positive, future-focused attitude at this presentation.
She covered Te Mātaiaho (the new draft curriculum framework), the English, Mathematics and Social Sciences learning areas, and included an emplasis on te reo and tīkanga Māori across the curriculum.
While the focus was mainly on Years 1-10, the curriculum refresh is also relevant to Years 11-13. Teachers and staff had the opportunity to look ahead, understand the direction of curriculum changes, and make a plan for how they might work towards implementing some of these changes in their classroom programme to improve progress and connection for their ākonga in 2023 and beyond.
