 * Each school will develop a folder of their choice which outlines their school curriculum using the NZC, Charter, and the National Standards.
 * Each school will progress forward and give effect to the NZC at point 3 (implementing stage).
 * Share resources and ideas to develop own school curriclum.
 * Share ideas (teaching and learning with regard to using the NZC) - collaborative partnerships.


 * Moderate between schools to find a system that reflects best practice.
 * Share our expertise and develop and design a curriculum that reflects the needs of our own school community.

Meeting dates for 2010:

Schools involved: > * Putorino School > * Paki Paki School > * Kotemaori School > What have you already achieved? Our Story: * We have had our first meeting with all schools in our cluster. We discussed what each school has achieved so far with regards to NZC and where to next. We are beginning to set up a moderating system where each school will use wikispaces to communicate and show examples of student work for moderation ​within our cluster. We are in the early stages of this and are meeting with Heather Bell to assist us with this idea. I have shared the wikispace with my students and they are delighted to see an example of a student's work. They are keen to see this develop further. We have also just purchased 3 laptops to help us update our ICT knowledge and usage. Having efficient computers with better specs will enable us to use ICT more effectively.
