releases literacy and maths common practice model
The first part of the much-anticipated common-practice model for teaching maths and English has had a mixed reaction.
Education Minister Jan Tinetti announced in August last year the models were being developed as a way to make sure all teachers had the same understanding of how to teach the essential skills.
At the time she acknowledged the topics were being taught differently between schools, and sometimes between different classrooms in the same school.
Critics of the current education system say that meant students were getting different standards of learning.
