MoE Refreshing the

Curriculum Timeline
The Goals of the NZ Curriculum Refresh
Refreshing the Curriculum - What is changing?

In teams, match the statements from the 2007

NZ Curriculum to…..the changing statements of
the refresh.

2007

Refresh
Understand Know Do
The Understand, Know, Do framing and progression model will be used for
refreshing all learning areas.
Understand-Big Ideas-the big
takeaways, the important,
memorable things you want the
children to learn

Know-Context - give the

understandings life, personalised
to the students own experiences
and interests, national, rohe, local

Do - the inquiry practices you use to

bring rigor to learning
Each thread of the Understand, Know, Do framework has a separate focus. Teachers design
learning experiences that weave these elements together so that student learning is deep
and meaningful, creating the learning that matters.
Have Our Say - Draft Vision and Social Sciences
This is what we have been given the opportunity to do:

• To give feedback on both the draft Vision and the draft Social Sciences
curriculum.

• We will do this through an online survey in teams - (1-3, 4-6, 7-8)

• Questions will be discussed as a group with 1 person filling in the survey.

Refreshing the Vision for Young People

● What: Sets our aspirations for our young people as learners.

● Why it is important: It provides direction for the NZC refresh
● How: Co-design process with ākonga for ākonga
Vision

Part of this process is to get feedback from our young people, so Tracey is going to
work with the Student Leadership Team to get their ideas.
Listen to this being read out by one of the codesigners of the vision. Take a moment to
discuss your thoughts on this Vision for Young People.
