Curriculum update - Te Mātaiaho

Curriculum Refresh Overview - 

Amber Davidson

Our first Secondary Connect! 

Amber Davidson (MOE Curriculum Advisor, Tai Tokerau) breaks down the latest updates to Te Mātaiaho | The New Zealand Curriculum.

The new Te Mātaiaho framework focuses on a more straightforward, knowledge-rich design. Instead of the previous "Understand, Know, Do" (UKD) model, it now prioritises a clear, logical sequence of learning. This ensures that teaching is explicit and that new skills are built step-by-step, while still giving schools the flexibility to include local stories and context that matter to their community.
