Consultation Overall feedback from the education community was
positive. Feedback tended to be sector based.
Points made were:– word smithing– including te reo and tikanga Māori, – the use of terms such as ‘learners, pupils or
students’ – the recent Ministry of Education publications of
research about the quality teaching of “Diverse Learners”
– Taking into consideration that the graduating teachers are at the beginning of their professional careers.
12
Consultation Other points from the consultation:
need to be generic to allow for innovation and research
need to be explicit
may be setting the bar too high
strong support for the Treaty of Waitangi statement as an overarching statement for the standards
excellent process used to ensure the eventual standards are of a high quality and are supported by the profession
the matrix does not represent the complexity and holistic nature of teaching
debate a “too heavy focus on Professional knowledge and not enough of a focus on Professional Practice”.
