Unpacking the learning outcomes of Te Whāriki

The twenty learning outcomes of Te Whariki are the key reference points for teachers in assessing children’s learning and designing curriculum to progress that learning. The phrase “over time, and with guidance and encouragement, children become increasingly capable of ….” positions learning outcomes as trajectories of learning. It is vital that teachers understand the progressions of learning and development inherent in the learning outcomes if they are to use them in the ways in which they are intended.

This webinar will:

• Explain the concept of trajectories of learning
• Illustrate the process of defining learning progressions
• Delve into several learning outcomes to unpack the learning progressions within them
• Outline the implications of the learning outcomes for assessment and curriculum design
