Curriculum Delivery Policy Review
Delivery of the curriculum shall foster student achievement. Therefore the principal may not fail to:
Ensure opportunities for success in all essential learning areas and skill areas of the New Zealand curriculum
Term Overviews prepared, daily planning falls out of this overview, an integrated approach allows teachers to plan for essential learning areas other than Literacy and Numeracy to be covered
Give priority to literacy and numeracy
Literacy and Numeracy takes up majority of class timetables during two morning blocks
Report on progress and achievement of students
Each term literacy and numeracy data is analysed, collected and discussions re next steps occur
Identify students at risk of not achieving and implement teaching and learning strategies to address needs
This occurs through collation of assessment data, will happen more easily once we have more etap training
Consult with the Maori community about the policies/plans for improving the achievement of Maori students
This happens through the school newsletter and surveys being sent home. Trying to link to coincide with parent teacher child meetings has been most successful
Provide career information and guidance
Not applicable to Year 1 to Year 6 students - should be deleted from policy
