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

     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:

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 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.
