An Examination of the Curriculum-Levelling Construct. Summary Report
Smaill, Esther; Darr, Charles
New Zealand Council for Educational Research
In February 2020, the Ministry of Education asked the New Zealand Council for Educational Research (NZCER) to examine the curriculum-levelling construct that sits at the heart of The New Zealand Curriculum (Ministry of Education, 2007). A key goal of the research was to investigate, whether-- and if so, how--the construct helps (or hinders) teachers and school leaders as they plan learning programmes and make judgements of student progress and achievement. This document provides a summary of the findings and supplements the main research report (Smaill & Darr, 2020). [For the main report, see ED627144.]
