Edit What this paper is about Content

Tena koutou katoa, Nau mai, haere mai,
Welcome to this paper focused on examining what ‘future-focused’ means for education in Aotearoa New Zealand.
In this paper students examine pedagogies associated with learning and teaching in Aotearoa New Zealand both within their specialist curriculum learning areas and across traditional subject boundaries.
The paper is guided by three themes:

  1. Setting the future-focused scene (Me Mātua ki te whetū i mua i te kōkiri o te haere - Before you set forth on a journey, be sure you know the stars)
  2. Digging deeper (E tipu ai te aka tangata, me uru Kahikatea - A grove of Kahikatea strand strong because of the intertwined root system)
  3. Fledgling flying (Mā te huruhuru ka rere te manu - Adorn a bird with feathers so it can fly)

Each of the themes run for three weeks and will consider the concept 'future-focused' in different ways and for different purposes. The Moodle metapaper contains details (combining the 400 and 500 versions, plus all three cohorts (HAM, NET, TGA)).
