Programmes for Students (PfS)
Expressions of Interest for Programmes for Students (PfS) are now open and close 21 November 2023.
Programmes for Students are accelerative supports for ākonga in years 1-10 who would benefit from targeted support in literacy and/or mathematics. Participating kaiako are mentored by experts who support them to improve their practice through intensive upskilling in accelerative pedagogies and share their learning to embed these accelerative practices across the school.
For 2024-2025 we are offering two programmes:
Accelerating Learning in Literacy (ALL)
Accelerating Learning in Mathematics (ALiM)
Programmes for Students has been updated to align with current evidence and curriculum changes and has been extended from a one-year to a two-year programme.
The Ministry of Education funds $4,000 per year for kaiako involved in the programme to have release time for planning, meetings, evaluation and to receive mentoring.
Application information and expression of interest forms can be found on our website.
Mathsweek 2023
Maths Week is a major event that is held each year, having been first held in 1998. Sponsored by the Ministry of Education and the New Zealand Association of Mathematics Teachers, a number of resources are written and made available to teachers and students in Years 1 – 11.
The aims of Maths Week are:
to encourage students’ interest in mathematics and statistics
to give teachers resources that they can use in the classroom, particularly material that requires some research and which may not be readily available to them, or that can be used electronically in class
to show the pleasure that mathematics can provide and some of the everyday places where mathematics and statistics can be used
to give teachers material that can provide extension.
Maths Week 2023 will be held between Monday 7 August and Friday 11 August.
More information, including details of the registration are available at www.mathsweek.co.nz
