Resource library

The Resource library includes descriptions and links to over 100 external publications (books, websites, DVDs etc). To search for a specific topic (for example “classroom strategies”), enter text in the keywords box and click Search. You can narrow your initial search using one of three filter drop-down menus:

  • “Sections” filters the resources in line with the major content sections of the website.
  • “Resources for” filters the resources according to whether they support you to further your learning, to take action, or to explore others’ stories.
  • “Relevant to” filters the resources in line with the topics covered by the subsections of the website.

Once you have searched, “Refine your results” appears on the right-hand side. This allows you to further narrow your search by adding in extra filters.

    Special Education

    This section of the Ministry of Education website describes how the Ministry works with schools to support the vision of a more inclusive education system. It is a substantial site that is worth revisiting.

    Some of the information is for educators and boards of trustees, some for parents. It is organised under the following headings:

    The publications and resources are well worth exploring. Parents, for example, will be interested in the booklets on services, starting at primary and at secondary school, and on leaving school; the National Transition Guidelines; and the Family/Whānau File, which can be used for sharing information about their child as they grow up.

    Quality Teaching Research and Development Project: Learning Materials

    The Quality Teaching Research and Development Project supported teachers in a variety of contexts to conduct inquiries into their own practice focused on becoming more culturally responsive and effective teachers of their Māori and Pasifika students.

    A  research report unpacks the findings from the project’s evaluation. In addition, set of learning materials was designed to support teachers and school leaders to consider the application of the teachers’ learning to their own practice.
