toc The focus on delivering better learning outcomes for Maori is both a government priority, and a professional priority for teachers in New Zealand. This page is for resources to support us to realise Maori potential and to support work that enables Maori students to succeed as Maori.

First, the NZC Principles.
The principles of the NZC, which should "underpin" every school's curriculum. Think about them all, and focus on the Teaty of Waitangi principle; what would your school look like if your curriculum were "consistent with" this principle? (See //Requirement//s of schools, page 44 NZC)

**New Zealand's two national curriculum documents.**
Here is the Maori-medium national curriculum document, Te Marautanga o Aotearoa, translated into English. Many people in schools of all kinds have found discussion of the kaupapa and approaches of Te Marautanga o Aotearoa and the New Zealand Curriculum, both separately and together, a very valuable professional experience. The documents begin with the same student-focussed question: what do we want for our young people.

In kura kaupapa Maori, a founding document is Te Aho Matua.
