This workshop is an introduction to local curriculum. You will explore aspects of developing a local curriculum, including:

how Te Tiriti o Waitangi is honoured in a local curriculum
ways into developing a local curriculum, e.g. through pedagogy, place, and people.
strategies that could help to review and design your local curriculum
stories of how other schools have developed their local curriculum
ensuring there is coherence between your strategic plan, local curriculum and evaluation and self-review.
Who is this workshop for?
We recommend that more than one school leader and/or curriculum leader attends from your school. That way you can collaboratively work to progress your local curriculum.
The workshop involves learning, participating in activities, and discussion.
