Latest from ERO
ERO has provided a useful ‘next steps’ section in its update report on the implementation of the revised Te Whāriki curriculum, (Engaging with Te Whāriki (2017). These next steps could be very usefully applied to considering Catholic curriculum in your early childhood service.
ERO says that next steps could include:
- engaging more deeply with Te Whāriki to build a shared understanding of expectations associated with reviewing and designing your local curriculum by asking: “What are our curriculum priorities? What really matters for the children in our service?”
- unpacking and discussing the learning outcomes in Te Whāriki as part of your planning, assessment and evaluation processes by asking: “What do these learning outcomes look like in our service for our children?”
- Identifying your next steps and priorities for PLD by asking: “What are our next steps as we engage with Te Whāriki? What support do we need to take these steps?
