About this site
This website supports the publication and implementation of the New Zealand Curriculum.
A video walk through is available to provide an introduction to the site.
Since 2004 many people have contributed to developing the New Zealand Curriculum. They have participated in working groups, provided input online, or taken part in focus groups. The curriculum has been enriched by the knowledge, experience, and different perspectives of all those involved. The participatory process has also led to the creation or growth of professional communities and the forging of new connections between groups.
Following the launch, schools will implement the New Zealand Curriculum over the next three years.
The Implementation Project's goals are:
- to create an environment that supports change at the school and system levels
- to support professional inquiry, exploration, and the development of professional practice
- to enable sustained curriculum development within schools and across the system.
