Small shifts in practice to support NCEA literacy and numeracy
Meaningful literacy and numeracy teaching can be planned or spontaneous. This involves linking authentic and meaningful contexts that are literacy-rich and numeracy-rich from your learning area to the content ideas in Unpacking Literacy and Unpacking Numeracy. This teaching can involve shifts in practice. The case studies below demonstrate schools that have established these practices.
