We understand the importance of designing a local curriculum that is responsive to the individual strengths and needs of learners, the priorities and aspirations of communities, and the direction set in national curriculum documents. Every learner deserves to experience and be part of creating rich learning opportunities that connect to who they are, where they are from, and where they want to go.
A curriculum that is locally centred creates strong, connected communities that grow young people with the capabilities they need to engage with others in respectful, productive relationships.
Local curriculum design requires the ability to scan the landscape and select the new ideas and ways of doing things that work for your people in your environment.
