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 prioritises learning based on your vision and values in conjunction with the NZ Curriculum. With the introduction of the refreshed NZ curriculum in 2027 this is an ideal time to review your school curriculum overview. We work with you to create integrated and engaging curriculum inquiry concepts and themes, saving teachers time and allowing students to get deep into the learning.
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 personalised 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.
