Purpose and Scope
To
provide a framework for communicating knowledge within the state
of compassion. Every human being shall know they are born
scientists.
|
Effective Pedagogy
Effective pedagogy
occurs when teachers reflect science in their lives. In this state
they bring vitality to any subject they teach.
It is what a
student does and the compassion they evidence and not what they
say that provides meaningful assessment of learning
activities.

School Curriculum:
Design and review
This document was
created in response to perceived flaws in the official 2007
New Zealand Curriculum and attempts to promote a more
sustainable framework. It is especially designed to enhance
awareness that science is an inclusive state common to all human
beings and it is founded in ethics.
