Teaching, School, and Principal Leadership Practices Survey 2018: Summary report

Author(s): Cathy Wylie, Sue McDowall, and Hilary Ferral

The Teaching, School, and Principal Leadership Practices Survey tool (TSP) was available for free school use for the second consecutive year in 2018. It was used by 265 schools that wanted an evidence base for understanding and developing their practices for the benefit of students.

This report gives the aggregate picture for those schools. Compared with the national school picture, schools using the TSP included fewer small, rural, decile 1–2 schools, and schools with high Māori enrolment.

There is considerable variability between schools, but overall, school characteristics did not seem to be playing a strong role. This suggests that aspects that are challenging require system-wide support.

The primary school curriculum: Assimilation, adaptation, transformation

Author(s): Jacky Burgon, Rosemary Hipkins and Edith Hodgen

The latest report from the NZCER national survey series looks at how the New Zealand Curriculum (NZC) is being implemented in the country's primary and intermediate schools. The primary school curriculum: Assimilation, adaptation, transformation draws on data from our 2010 survey to explore differences across the sector in terms of progress on curriclum implementation, three years on from the publication of the NZC in 2007. Issues covered in the report include: how confident principals and teachers are with the curriculum, which aspects they view as most important, the professional learning teachers are doing and the challenges of creating a curriculum to meet the learning needs of all students.
