Seminar for Principals, Senior Leaders, Curriculum Leaders
Cooper McKenzie Limited is proud to present:
Taking the lead ... progressing the New Zealand curricula
Issues, challenges and opportunities
with
Dr Lester Flockton
Riccarton Park Christchurch
Thursday 24 October 2019
10.30 am – 2.30 pm
Don’t miss the opportunity to hear Lester speak in Christchurch in October!
Lester’s seminars include a pragmatic, no-nonsense approach to assessing and reporting learning and progress.
The presentation begins by giving an overview of curricular changes, influences and mindsets, leading to explanations of the intended direction of the NZC and how it can be interpreted by individual schools. Important considerations for localisation of the school’s curriculum are addressed along with modelling for developing the design and content of the school’s curriculum. Assessment and reporting are woven into the modelling, with the intention of rationalising the amount and structure of assessment without compromising on quality and professionalism.
This seminar has already been presented at a number of main centres around New Zealand, and the feedback has been consistently positive and highly commendatory. A number of schools have had lead staff attend along with the principal.
