Senior secondary teaching and learning 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. Please note: The English guide will have further detail added to it in 2012. It is not complete, it is a work in progress. All guides will be updated as we take on feedback and add new content.
