This presentation aims to familiarise teachers and leaders with NCEA foundational literacy requirements – a major focus in secondary schools at the moment. It provides an overview of the ‘big ideas’ of the reading and writing matrices and available Ministry resources supporting improvement in teacher practice in and across learning areas. Examples of how secondary schools in Tāmaki Makaurau are preparing teachers and learners for these assessments are discussed based on Julie Luxton’s current work on the NCEA Literacy Regional Support contract.
Julie is currently an education consultant for Evaluation Associates Ltd | Te Huinga Kākākura Mātauranga. In this role she is supporting schools in Tamaki Makaurau, Auckland, with preparation for new NCEA Literacy co-requisite requirements, as well as supporting schools to meet the language and literacy needs of English language learners.
