Learning-focus Culture

Design learning based on curriculum and pedagogical knowledge, assessment information and an

understanding of each learner’s strengths, interests, needs, identities,

languages and cultures.:

• Select teaching approaches, resources, and learning and assessment activities

based on a thorough knowledge of curriculum content, pedagogy, progressions

in learning and the learners.

• Gather, analyse and use appropriate assessment information, identifying

progress and needs of learners to design clear next steps in learning and to

identify additional supports or adaptations that may be required.

• Design and plan culturally responsive, evidence-based approaches that reflect

the local community and Te Tiriti o Waitangi partnership in New Zealand.

• Harness the rich capital that learners bring by providing culturally responsive

and engaging contexts for learners.

• Design learning that is informed by national policies and priorities.
