New Zealand author team
Written and developed with experienced classroom teachers from around New Zealand – bringing together deep curriculum expertise and a genuine understanding of local needs.
“One of our key priorities in building this second edition was creating high-quality, trustworthy resources that align exactly with the new New Zealand Curriculum. With strong teaching resources already in place, teachers are freed up to focus their expertise where it matters most: responding to the individual learning needs of every student in their classroom."
– Erin Doleman, Programme consultant and Phase 2 author
