New Zealand schools have the scope, flexibility, and authority they need to design and shape their curriculum so that teaching and learning is meaningful and beneficial to their particular communities of students.
This section supports school and curriculum leaders, and professional learning and development providers with the process of curriculum design and review. It includes information, research, tools, suggested areas of focus, and inspirational stories to help schools make decisions about how to give effect to the national curriculum.
The Ministry of Education has developed this diagram to illustrate how to enact the National Curriculum. In New Zealand schools and kura, curriculum is designed and interpreted in a 3-stage process – National curriculum, Local or school curriculum, and Classroom curriculum.
