The Ministry of Education is about to begin the review of all achievement standards and assessment resources.
We need people to join subject expert groups for all existing New Zealand Curriculum subjects, and are seeking expressions of interest. These groups will first work with the Ministry to consider how the subject fits within NCEA Level 1, and then how the subject might be assessed through achievement standards for Levels 1–3.
Go to: conversation.education.govt.nz/conversations/ncea-review/review-of-achievement-standards for details and how to apply.
The Ministry of Education is consulting on 2 proposals to ease teacher supply pressure on licensed ECE centres.
The Ministry would like to hear your views about the proposals, which would allow primary qualified teachers to be a person responsible in ECE centres.
Option 1 would allow primary teachers to be a person responsible for the first and last 90 minutes of licensed hours at ECE centres.
Option 2 would allow primary teachers to be a person responsible at all times.
You can read more about the proposals and complete a short survey at https://consultation.education.govt.nz/ece/person-responsible-in-ece/.
