Subject Expert Groups Expressions of Interest application

The Review of Achievement Standards will commence in 2020 as part of the NCEA Change Package.
We are calling for Expressions of Interest to join subject expert groups (SEGs).

Subjects

There will be a SEG representing each subject derived from the New Zealand Curriculum:

Each SEG will first work with the Ministry to consider how their subject fits within NCEA Level 1, and then identify the significant learning in their subject and work with a wider team to develop and write new learning and assessment matrices, achievement standards, and resources.  Some subject expert groups may work together, and members of some subject expert groups may also be asked to sit on other expert groups or on supporting reference groups.

Please Note: Expressions of Interest for the Te Reo Māori expert group will be called for separately, as this subject is undergoing a parallel process adjacent to Te Reo Rangatira achievement standards.

Pilot and trial expert groups have already been established for Science, Visual Arts, English, and Religious Studies, however members of these groups will invited to reapply and there may be opportunities for others to join these SEGs.

Application details

Each subject expert group will have eight representatives.

Applicants should:

• have expertise or experience in the relevant subject
• have an interest and expertise in learning and assessment within that subject
• be prepared to commit to approximately 10 days in 2020 or 2021 for initial subject development
• going forward, the members of this group may be asked to commit to a further 6-8 days over 2021, 2022 and 2023. 

We’re looking for a range of voices:

• experienced practising teachers and experts from a range of educational settings and backgrounds, including both English-medium and Māori-medium schools, community, industry and tertiary education.
• people with experience working with ākonga Māori and Pacific students, and who have a strong, authentic understanding of how to integrate te ao and tikanga Māori, and Pacific peoples’ knowledge and cultures into teaching, learning and assessment design.

To apply, send your CV and cover letter to ras.review@education.govt.nz by 28 October 2019. Please keep your CV and cover letter concise (max of five pages in total), noting your relevant experience.
