Learning modules on Aotearoa New Zealand's histories
Exploring histories at your service can enhance culturally responsive and respectful environments for whānau, tamariki, and community.
The three modules in this series are designed to help you:
- find your 'why' for teaching about histories
- reveal histories that are hidden in your setting
- get ideas from an example in another service
- consider histories in your curriculum design.
Before you start the modules
Each module uses the thinking and reflection you have done in the previous module. They are designed to be completed sequentially.
You might want to keep a notes document for your thoughts to help when you are discussing and planning with other kaiako.
The modules are on the Ministry of Education Learning Management System.
