NZQA National Qualifications Services has completed the revision and rollover of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published August 2015
Planned review date December 2018
Summary
In 2015, NQS initiated the revision and rollover of unit standards from the subfield Special Education. These unit standards were due for review by December 2015, but due to the Mandatory Review of Qualifications it was decided to rollover the unit standards so they could be used until the National qualifications are expired. Moderation feedback has indicated no additional problems with these standards.
Main changes
· The title of explanatory notes in unit standards 7282, 7289, 7299, 7302, 7310, 9143, 9144, and 21224 was changed from Glossary to Definitions.
· A reference to Kia Tutangata Ai in unit standards 7282 and 7299 was replaced with a reference to the replacement TKI resource.
· References to codes of ethics were updated in unit standard 9135
