How we work with you
We usually start with an analysis of your current practice in relation to the co-requisites and NCEA level 1. This may include:
the systems and processes you have established to ascertain readiness
your NCEA quality assurance processes
school-wide literacy approaches
school-wide numeracy processes
use of standardised assessment data such as e-asTTle or PAT – how to use this to inform teaching and learning
supporting ākonga and kaiako to use formative and summative assessment information
engaging whānau with the NCEA changes
assessment for learning – ensuring school-wide consistency.
We’d then use the needs analysis to design the PLD. We’d work with you in ways that work best for your school—this could be teacher-only days, staff meetings, working with senior leaders, working with departments, coaching, all while using online, face-to-face, or blended learning approaches.
NCEA literacy and numeracy co-requisites
While the NCEA co-requisites as part of the qualification, we know that the work to support ākonga to be ready for this mahi starts a long time before they hit their qualification years.
You may have ākonga who need additional support to improve their literacy or numeracy skills you may be looking to create school-wide practices, you may need support to assess readiness.
We have team members who have been contracted to the Ministry of Education to support schools and kura in this way. If you're ready manage NCEA co-requisite readiness, we can help.
Why focus on NCEA changes now?
With shifts in the NCEA change programme implementation, it could be too easy wait for the changes to come. The new standards are scheduled to be implemented in 2024 (Level 1), 2028 (Level 2) and 2029 (Level 3).
Good leaders know that implementing new practices takes time. Don't leave supporting your staff, students, and whānau to the last minute.
