English Senior Secondary Teaching and Learning Guide - Part 2

English Senior Secondary Teaching and Learning Guide - Part 2

English Senior Secondary Teaching and Learning Guide - Part 2 is now live.

What is the purpose of these guides?

These guides have been designed to help teachers develop quality teaching and learning programmes at levels 6–8 of The New Zealand Curriculum (2007). They should be understood as resources rather than syllabuses or prescriptions.

Each subject guide describes the ideas around which a programme might be based, how a programme might be structured, what good teaching and learning looks like, and how the subject concerned relates to the wider New Zealand curriculum and to NCEA. Other sections describe why a student should consider taking the subject and what learning pathways it might open up for them.

The guides can also help teachers:

  • better understand the relationship between curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment
  • think about the role their subject can play in terms of the NZC vision, values, and key competencies
  • make connections between their subject and other senior subjects and learning areas
  • see ways of involving students in programming decisions, particularly those that relate to contexts for learning
  • question assumptions that may be constraining curriculum design in the senior school.
  • recognise that culture counts and productive partnerships are critical to Māori student achievement.

The guides have been written by experienced secondary teachers, school support services advisors, and other curriculum, teaching, and learning experts, often with input from interested sector organisations.
