Readings

Make sure you spend time on the **excellent** Lester Flockton DVD. One of his key messages is: NZC is what we make it in our schools. No-one can do it for us. We need to reflect on our philosphy and beliefs. What would we 'die in a ditch' for? Thrash this out with the BoT, kids, community, staff - link it to the NZC document. Two more important points Lester makes: //The true curriculum is what actually happens in the classroom, not what is written in our documentation.//

//The thicker the plan, the less likely it is that it will influence practice.// Barry Garland
