New NCEA Level 1 supports available

A suite of additional resources to help schools and kura better understand the new NCEA Level 1 Achievement Standards and Paerewa Paetae is now available.
  • NZC
  • TMoA

We were fortunate to have had the help of a wide range of subject associations and educational experts as these new tools were created. The supports include:

  • Subject Learning Outcomes (SLO) documents to help identify the knowledge and skills that should be taught for each Level 1 Achievement Standard 
  • Ngā Putanga Ako for each wāhanga ako, which lays out the mātauranga and skills being assessed in ngā Kaupae 1 Paerewa Paetae 
  • a teacher guide that kaiako can use to walk through all of the resources available to support their implementation of NCEA Level 1 

You can find each of the above resources on the landing page for each subject or wāhanga ako.

Also available will be: 

  • links to NCEA Level 1 subject associations to help kaiako using The New Zealand Curriculum access resources developed by pilot teachers, to be added throughout February. Those can be found on each of the subject pages. 
  • exemplars for NCEA Level 1 Achievement Standards and Paerewa Paetae, developed by NZQA. 
  • registration details about subject-specific workshops for kaiako which will be offered through Term 1. These will be largely online, after school, and led by Ministry staff with support from subject associations to support kaiako with the new NCEA Level 1.
  • registration details for Te Marautanga o Aotearoa wāhanga ako workshops for kaiako, which will be held throughout Term 1. These will be led by our Kura Māori Implementation Team, and focus on programme planning, providing guidance on the new Level 1 and its associated resources, and sharing insights from Iho Pūmanawa.
