Support for schools and kura

There are a range of resources, supports, and professional learning opportunities to help schools and kura feel confident to teach the new Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories curriculum content. 

The teaching resources section provides teaching and leadership resources to help teachers, kaiako and school leaders bring the new curriculum content into their school or kura. These include classroom resources, videos of teachers actively trialling elements of the histories content, planning templates, and leadership guides.

Resources and supports will continue to be added over time.
