With your food basket and my food basket the people will thrive
The MoE have created some great resources to help kura dive in for themselves.
The ANZH curriculum content cards are a great place to start.
If you make something please share it with us to add to our local kete.
Use these cards to begin planning for including Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories within social sciences.
There are two parts to the suggested process, which takes 2–3 hours (or you can split it over two or more sessions).
Part one focuses on the overview of Understand, Know, and Do in the Aotearoa NZ’s histories content.
Part two focuses on using the progress outcomes of Aotearoa NZ’s histories to start planning for a particular phase of learning.
Familiarising yourself with the curriculum overview
Look at the layout of the curriculum content in the ANZH booklet to see how the content is structured and the relationships between the parts.
Read out each card in the overview and discuss – how does this relate to your current or planned topics? How do these support students to think critically about the past?
a. Big ideas (cards 4–7)
b. Contexts (cards 8–11)
c. Do practices (cards 12–14)
Choosing a meaningful topic and unpacking it within a phase of learning
Brainstorm topics that you are familiar with, and could have connections to multiple big ideas.
Discuss the aspirations, languages, identities, and cultures of your school communities, and how your topics relate to these. Think about how you will bring whānau into your planning.
Choose a topic to explore today across each phase of learning; test it – how does it connect with each big idea?
Focus on one phase of learning per group; identify how each Know and Do strengthen and refine the topic.
In each group, write down these connections, including activities, resources and people relevant to your topic that involve the inquiry practices.
Bringing it all together and understanding/identifying progression
Discuss how students’ learning progresses across the phases in both the depth of their knowledge, and sophistication of their use of inquiry practises.
At each phase of learning, do they have a mix of specific information and generalisations?
How does your local context influence your current plan? Would contrasts to other local areas strengthen any parts of the topic?
