Teacher Only Day(TOD) 13 May 2021

 The May 2021 Teacher Only Day focuses on two of the seven changes to NCEA: Mana Ōrite mō te Mātauranga Māori and Strengthening Literacy & Numeracy and Te Reo Matatini me Te Pāngarau. This follows TOD 1 from November 2020 which introduced the NCEA Change programme and will be followed by TOD 3 in August 2021 which focuses on the Review of Achievement Standards (RAS).

 Through an online Learning Management System provided by the Ministry of Education, schools will be provided with a proposed structure and additional materials and resources to support rich school level discussions around these topics. Within this structure, the ordering and pacing of the day can be decided by schools. The planning for the second Teacher Only Day in support of the NCEA Change Programme is underway. The focus of this day will be on Mana Ōrite mō Te Mātauranga Māori and Strengthening Literacy & Numeracy and Te Reo Matatini me te Pāngarau.


1. Welcome and Overview This module introduces the day and provides an update on the wider NCEA Change Programme and current state. It then provides an overview of the TOD2 materials and structure.

2. Resource Kete (self-selected) This module is a collection of materials and resources related to the Mana Ōrite mō Te Mātauranga Māori module that might provide a stimulus for wider-ranging conversations (such as Aotearoa NZ Histories, Te Ao Haka or Ka Hikitia). The intention is to provide a selection of resources that may help guide and focus your discussions, and which you can engage with as needed. 

 3. Mana Ōrite mō Te Mātauranga Māori This module is designed to describe the changes to NCEA in both English and Māori mediums driven by the principle of equitable treatment of Māori bodies of knowledge. The module provides space and support to discuss what these changes could mean within your context - English medium schools may want to include local iwi in this discussion and offer them a place to present their view, while Kura Māori will have dedicated time to discuss the changes within their context. The module ends with some exercises designed to solidify thinking around implementing the changes in practice. This will be an opportunity to explore in more depth why this change is important, consider some of the real-life successes in supporting Mana Ōrite in secondary schools and korero about where your school is currently sitting on its own journey.

4. Literacy & Numeracy / Te Reo Matatini me Te Pāngarau This module focuses on providing concrete information on what the changes are and why they are being made, followed by an in-depth look at the standards as well as the assessments. The module ends with specific, practical support for implementing the changes. There will be a focus on what the core curriculum changes are and why they are important. There will be opportunities for you to discuss what the changes to Literacy & Numeracy standards will mean in your school and what tools and supports you might need to aide your school’s change journey.
