Curriculum Mapping & Local Curriculum Development
Planning for coverage using a progressive approach with rich meaningful contexts
At Blend Learning, we work collaboratively with your school to plan a curriculum map that prioritizes learning based on your vision and values. Our approach adds richness to the curriculum and creates coherent pathways for all learners. We map and scaffold unique learning experiences by incorporating your local environment to give personalized opportunities to meet individual learners' needs. We believe that learning should be engaging, dynamic, and reflective of the learner's experiences, and our collaborative curriculum development is designed to achieve this.
Blend Learning is a member of the Ministry of Education PLD Provider Panel. Contact us to support you with your application for MOE Regionally Allocated PLD or talk to us about our support packages in this area.
