The New Zealand Curriculum, Te Marautanga o Aotearoa & NCEA change outcomes The refreshed curriculum for schooling and new supporting resources will support learners on their pathway into senior secondary and beyond. It will provide a coherent learning pathway from Years 1-13, meaning all learners will develop the foundation they need for success, with better connections between curriculum learning areas and NCEA subjects.
Overall changes happening The national curriculum refresh and the NCEA changes will ensure: • the most important learning is clear and not left to chance. • all ākonga are able to see their cultures, languages and identities reflected in their learning experiences. • teaching, learning and assessment materials are clear, accessible and inclusive. • te ao Māori (Māori world view) and mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledges) are valued and woven into the changes for the national curriculum for schooling refresh and NCEA . • a learner’s progress throughout the learning pathway from Years 1-13 is supported and recorded. education.govt.nz

National curriculum refresh The refresh will make sure it is future proofed, clear and easy to use. Te Marautanga o Aotearoa will be authentically indigenous. The New Zealand Curriculum will emphasise the bicultural foundation of Aotearoa and give effect to Te Tiriti. It will be inclusive to support all learners – and the diversity they bring.

NCEA Changes Guiding Principles Wellbeing All of the changes to NCEA, are tested against these 5 guiding principles to ensure they will deliver the desired Equity and Credibility inclusion outcomes. These principles form the basis of the system shifts we want to achieve in NCEA through the 7 key changes. Pathways Coherence
7 Changes to 1. Make NCEA more accessible NCEA 7. Keep NCEA Level 1 as an optional 2. Mana ōrite mo te mātauranga Māori level 6. Show clearer pathways to further 3.

The role of the NZC RAS For each Learning Area and each subject, the relationship to mātauranga Māori will be different. This means that the way te ao Māori and mātauranga Māori are reflected in each product will vary, depending on the context. However, there are some things we do know: Learning Matrix Assessment Matrix Course Outlines Teaching, Learning and The Significant Learning in the The Assessment Matrix should Course Outlines should Assessment Guide Learning Matrix should be support ākonga Māori to support teaching through and appropriately grounded in demonstrate their knowledge to diverse perspectives, TLAGs should support mātauranga Māori in a way and their learning knowledges and teaching, learning and that makes the learning richer methodologies assessment of and through mātauranga Māori, and should explain how the External Assessment Learning and Assessment Achievement Standards Int.

Supports and resources through the national refresh There will be a familiar approach for all supports and resources throughout the refresh. Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories will set the blueprint for this.
Implementation from 2022 • In 2022 all ākonga will start to experience learning in Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories curriculum content as part of their classroom programmes • Everyone is at a different stage of the journey - during 2022 every school and kura is expected to have made a start. • From Term 4 2021, Ministry regional teams will be developing multiple opportunities to support teachers and leaders to build awareness and engage with the new content. ‘Supporting school leaders to understand and plan for Aotearoa New Zealand's histories in social sciences Leading local curriculum guide series / Strengthening local curriculum / Kia ora - NZ Curriculum Online (tki.org.nz)
Everyone is at a different stage of the journey - during 2022 every school and kura is expected to have made a start. School leaders can use the Poutama self assessment tool with their teachers to identify where they are at and identify their next steps. Educators will need to engage with the final NZC curriculum content and the structure of the: - ‘Know, Understand, Do’ framework - Progressions model ‘Supporting school leaders to understand and plan for Aotearoa New Zealand's histories in social sciences Leading local curriculum guide series / Strengthening local curriculum / Kia ora - NZ Curriculum Online (tki.org.nz)
What supports for Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories will be available and when? Available now Available when final curriculum Available from 2022 and beyond content is released Resources that help teachers build Teaching materials and resources Ongoing release of resources to their knowledge of Aotearoa New for Aotearoa New Zealand’s support teaching and learning and Zealand’s histories; examples histories, examples include: local curriculum design. include: • Finalised curriculum content - Draft Leading Local Curriculum - Updated Leading Local Ongoing professional learning guide (ANZH) - Aotearoa NZ's Curriculum guide (ANZH) opportunities and Peer-to-Peer histories / Social Sciences Online - Learning module ‘strategic Support (Networks of Expertise). - eZSSOL (tki.org.nz) context’ - Access to ANZH Reference - Webinars for professional Books learning - Podcast series The Aotearoa History Show (rnz.co.nz) Ongoing local support activities from e.g., Curriculum Leads.
Supporting schools to work with their community • Other organisations are getting behind this – galleries, libraries, archives and museums have resources available now. • Many schools and kāhui ako have already formed meaningful relationships with their local iwi, hapū and whānau members. • The Ministry is also engaging with some iwi across the country to identify their important local Māori critical histories, and the way they would like to engage with schools and kura in their Takiwā. This work will continue to develop.
Curriculum design and the NELP? • When you implement the refreshed Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories curriculum content, you will be on your way to implementing the NELP NELP priorities include (some examples): - Build relationships with Māori, involve them in decision- making, and partner with them to support Rangatiratanga, and Māori education success as Māori - Expect and support teachers/Kaiako to build their understanding of learners’ contexts, including languages spoken at home, histories, stories and cultural values, to provide culturally responsive teaching
Summary view of the Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories draft curriculum content • Thank you to the thousands of people who shared your thoughts on the curriculum content, the feedback is currently being analysed. • We expect to be reporting back publicly with what has changes and why in October this year.
What has shaped the pathway that we now stand on? • Review of Tomorrow’s Schools • Kōrero Matauranga | Education Conversation • Curriculum, Progress and Achievement Ministerial Advisory Group and Reference Group
Strategies update for Literacy and Mathematics & Statistics (including Numeracy) The Ministry has been: • identifying our focus areas based on evidence, research and discussion • ensuring a coherent approach with other work underway to support all learning areas and needs • engaging with a wide variety of stakeholders (Literacy.Maths@education.govt.nz) • developing our advice to Ministers due in September This work has been done in parallel to strategy development mahi underway to strengthen the teaching and learning of Te Reo Matatini and Pāngarau. The information gathered is on our website under Our Work. It’s being regularly updated. www.education.govt.nz/our-work/changes-in-education/national-curriculum-refresh/strategies-for-literacy-and-mathematics/
