If you are keen to be involved in our 2027 January Writing Camp, where we write internal assessment tasks for Numeracy, NCEA L1, L2 and L3 as well as provide PLD, then save these dates: Monday January 11 to Friday 15th January 2027.
This camp occurs in Auckland and is a great opportunity to meet teachers from around the motu. All expenses are paid; all you have to do is bring a willingness to create unique tasks.
We will be sending out a form requesting expressions of interest in term 3.

Educator perspectives on the proposed qualification framework reforms and engagement in subject Mathematics

Purpose
Tirotiro Anō is an independent research project commissioned by Te Wehengarua (NZPPTA) examining the proposed changes to national qualifications in Aotearoa New Zealand.

The project brings together research evidence and sector perspectives to better understand the educational, equity, implementation, and system-level implications of reform proposals published up to the end of May 2026

By taking part in this survey (approximately 5 - 10 minutes), you have the opportunity to share your perspectives and experiences as Mathematics educators working within kura on education and qualification change.

This survey contributes to an important engagement process where Mathematics educator perspectives have had limited visibility within the development of the change framework.

Your contribution helps ensure that research and future discussions are informed by the voices and realities of those working directly with the curriculum and assessment and most importantly with the young people of Aotearoa and their whānau.
