COVID-19: we’re here for you
Can we help you by providing additional FREE resources?
Let us take the strain and find the information you need – simply tell us what topics and resources you would like us to develop and we will get to work – at no cost to your or your school.
We can help you share your ideas with other teachers in New Zealand
If you are a teacher who has developed curriculum-aligned resources for students and you are happy to share them with others across New Zealand, please contact us. Your ideas, resources and tips could help support the thousands of other teachers in our network, nearly all of whom are having to completely rethink the ways in which they teach and support their students.
I've told everyone at my school about this website. None of us can believe this is all freely available to teachers – thank you SO much!
