Years 11-13 Draft Curriculum Feedback

Consultation on new Phase 5 – Years 11-13 subjects

What and Why?

The draft curriculum content for the first group of new 26 Ministry-led Phase 5 (years 11-13) subjects within English, Maths, Science, Social Sciences and Health and PE has been released for consultation. All Ministry of content related to this first group of subjects can be found here: tahurangi.education.govt.nz/Phase-5-consultation-group-1

Feedback to the Ministry for this first group is due back Tuesday 15th June. There will be two further releases of Phase 5 curriculum areas over the coming months. 

What do these proposed changes mean for me?

Dr. Claire Coleman is again gathering expert feedback to create some short webpage/downloadable PDFs for each of the learning areas to support your understanding of some of the key changes being proposed. As a curriculum expert who is passionate about ensuring teachers, parents and whānau are fully informed about the proposed changes, Claire voluntarily ran some webinars previously to support the Draft 0-10 feedback process. 

Participate as an expert teacher

  • Attend a webinar with Claire and other experts to support your understanding of the changes and any submission you want to make.

All webinars will be held at 4.30pm via AEC Substack.
