Ki te kotahi te kākaho, ka whati; ki te kāpuia, e kore e whati.
If a reed stands alone, it can be broken; if it is in a group, it cannot.
When we stand alone we are vulnerable, but together we are unbreakable

Information for Staff
Proposal for updated teaching standards - have your say: https://teachingcouncil.nz/about-us/news-advocacy/consultations/revised-standards
The current 6 teaching standards are up for review, with consultation closing on the 5th May.
The revisions are due to changes in teaching practices that have evolved since the change back in 2016/17, around things such as AI, different pedagogies that have emerged after COVID, inclusivity etc.
There is wording changes, but the significant change can be seen in current standard 5 - which the proposal sees as being split into 3 sections that cover curriculum and pedagogy, Assessment and knowing your learners.
Please use the link above to explore the resources further.
The teachers council note that they are not changing the Professional Growth Cycle Process
