Understanding the New Zealand Curriculum Teachers and Teacher Aides Working Together Understanding the New Zealand Curriculum Module 7 Presentation

Introducing the module This module is about the New Zealand Curriculum. It is for both teachers and teacher aides. Please take your time to think and reflect.

Why this module? Teachers and teacher aides develop a shared understanding of the New Zealand Curriculum and think about how to include all students.

How the New Zealand Curriculum relates to the classroom The New Zealand Curriculum (NZC) provides a framework within which each school plans its own curriculum. Teachers interpret the school curriculum to shape the curriculum in their classrooms. Students experience a curriculum that reflects and is responsive to them and their communities. “The New Zealand Curriculum sets the direction for teaching and learning in English-medium schools.” (MoE, 2007, p. 37)

New Zealand Curriculum - overview The curriculum includes: a vision principles values key competencies learning areas.

NZC – vision The vision is: “for young people to be confident, connected, actively involved, and lifelong learners.” (Ministry of Education, 2007, p. 8) What does it mean to be a “confident, connected, actively involved, lifelong learner”? Why is it important for young people to develop these attributes? What do they need to know or be able to do to achieve them?

NZC – principles Inclusion is one of eight principles in the New Zealand Curriculum. The others are: high expectations Treaty of Waitangi cultural diversity learning to learn community engagement coherence future focus. What is important and desirable in a school’s curriculum. The educational experience students are entitled to.

NZC – values The values inspire communities to be supportive and strong.

NZC – key competencies The key competencies enable students to live, learn, work and contribute to their communities. The five key competencies: thinking using language, symbols and texts managing self relating to others participating and contributing. How are the students you work with encouraged to develop these competencies?

NZC – learning areas There are eight learning areas: the arts English health and physical education learning languages mathematics and statistics science social sciences technology. Access to learning in each learning area is important for all students.

The NZC – for every student “All New Zealand students … should experience a rich and balanced education that embraces the intent of the national curriculum.” (Ministry of Education, 2007, p. 37)

Making the curriculum accessible Ideally, the curriculum is designed to be accessible to all students. Universal Design for Learning is a model teachers can use to plan an inclusive curriculum. It recognises that we are all unique, so it builds in flexibility.

Making the curriculum accessible To make the curriculum accessible, changes can be made to: content teaching and learning materials the responses expected from students. Adaptations = changes to environments, materials and strategies. Differentiations = changes to content and expected responses to the curriculum.

Curriculum – who does what? Teachers plan, develop, review the curriculum and make changes. Teacher aides help implement the classroom programme. What are some great ways you’ve seen or experienced where teachers and teacher aides have worked together to include all students in the classroom curriculum?
