Date new versions published                                                          June 2013

 

Planned review date                                                                           December 2016

 

Summary

 

The standards were due for review in 2013, and the mandatory review of all Teacher Education qualifications has been scheduled for 2014.  As the standards could be impacted by the mandatory review, it was decided that the standards should be revised and rolled over, with a full review to take place in 2016.

 

The main change in this revision is the inclusion of a definition of Literacy for Māori in relevant standards, as endorsed by the Tertiary Education Commission, NZQA's Māori Focus Group for Adult Literacy and Numeracy Education (ALNE), and consultation feedback received from the ALNE sector.  The revision also included minor edits, changes to wording to add clarity of meaning, and the update of website links in explanatory notes.

 

Main changes

 

Standards 21192, 21204, and 26619 have been revised to include Whakatipuranga Arapiki Ako- Developing the work of strengthening literacy and numeracy teaching and learning for adults as a reference, and to inform the definition for Literacy for Māori
