The National Curriculum

• It is not seen as a prescriptive document

providing the content/skill to be ‘delivered’.

• A national curriculum is viewed as a

framework to ‘set the direction for learning’.

• Expectation that teachers, as professionals,

will develop programmes reflective of this

framework.

The School Curriculum

• Must incorporate principles, values, key

competencies and learning area

introductory statements and appropriate

achievement objectives in response to the

identified interests and learning needs of

their students.

• Reflect community needs/desires.(Slide Adapted from Otago University 2008 HPE NZC ppt.)

• Level 4 - Helping to make Decisions

• Level 5 - Having responsibility to act.

What is the graduate profile of a student who has experienced a sound health education programme?

Definition…“A health-literate person can be defined as an independent learner able to think for themselves, solve problems, and make informed decisions in

order to promote and maintain health for themselves, others, and society.”

Closing thought

Ko te manu e kai ana i te miro, nona te ngahere.

Ko te manu e kai ana I te matauranga, nona te ao.

The bird that partakes of the miro berry reigns in the forest

The bird that partakes of the power of knowledge has access to the world.
