The Auckland NZEALS branch is delighted to be hosting Joanne McEachen contributing to our theme this year - “Being the Leader I need”. The Contributive Curriculum, a powerful tool for prioritising wellbeing in kura, schools, early learning services, and kōhanga reo.

Built around the four outcomes of contributive learning:-

• self-understanding,
• connection,
• knowledge, and
• competency.

The curriculum supports learners, teachers, and whānau to learn about themselves, form meaningful connections, better access the national curricula, and, through the process of learning, contribute to the world in life-changing ways.

The Contributive Curricula are being used to underpin Ministry of Education’s country-wide Curriculum Leads initiative, which places ākonga, kaiako, whānau, and community wellbeing at the centre of educational policy and practice.
This free seminar aims to provide you as leaders ways to consider learners and leadership.
