This review has kind of taken me by surprise. I actually disregarded the email from NZQA as it was titled “teacher education review” or something similar. However, NZQA rang me (luckily) to make sure that I attended due to the fact that we deliver the NCALNE (Voc) and we’re looking at delivering the DipALNE next…

Just a brief update… Module 4 of our NCALNE Lite online course that we’re writing for the Pathways Awarua suite of online literacy and numeracy resources is now live. I’ve also just finished the draft for module 5 which should be finalised and live within a couple of weeks. That leaves Modules 6 and 7…

I’ve been excited about this before… Usually, my elation is crushed by some annoying practical reality of funding or compliance. However, a new set of draft NZQA rules may make it possible for us to export NZ’s baseline knowledge and skills for embedding literacy and numeracy. I think there is a market for it, especially…

Here’a another one from the Literacy Numeracy Pro infinite content generation engine… It’s important to have a plan. If you are a trades trainer or vocational tutor you need to have a plan on how you’re going to deal with the literacy and numeracy needs of your learners. Why? Well… because the same stuff that…

So what’s the solution then…? Well, in the last week I’ve written, rewritten, and am in the middle of trialling a totally new delivery approach for our NCALNE (Voc) training. It’s a hybrid… a remix of aspects of the various other delivery models that I mentioned last time. It combines the following: Workshop delivery: Two…
