Educators, register below to join this free online professional learning session on Thursday, 16 February, 4:00–4:45 pm.
In this webinar, Dr Rosemary Hipkins joins us to discuss the concept of enduring competencies – competencies that focus on what students can do with their knowledge and understanding. Together these competencies create a framework for informing our thinking about science learning, curriculum and assessment.
This framework, as outlined in the NZCER publication, provides support as we navigate our way through the big ideas of science and the key competencies of the New Zealand Curriculum. The enduring competencies also provide a foundation for the current Science Curriculum Refresh and Review of Achievement Standards.
This session will be valuable for all educators.
