The Connected Curriculum Guide

 

Purpose

The purpose of the resource is to assist principals to connect The New Zealand Curriculum with their school curriculum – by review, development, or alignment.

Design

The resource is structured into three parts:
  • a DVD containing a series of “presentations” that are interrelated yet allow the principal to select those that are of particular interest at any one time
  • a print booklet supporting the content of the DVD (Download available below)
  • NZEI’s website expanding on the DVD and print booklet with additional reflections on practice from principals, a resource list, as well as professional and technical advice.

The resource is comprehensive but designed to allow principals to select parts of particular relevance to them at the time. Most of the chapters include reflective comments by members of the NZEI Te Riu Roa Principals’ Council.

In his presentations, Lester Flockton provides examples of different approaches adopted by schools which he urges each school to critically review before reaching their own position.
