Capabilities are curriculum weaving tools

Author(s): 
Rosemary Hipkins

This article is based on the talk Rose Hipkins gave at the NZATE conference in Christchurch in July 2016. The talk drew together many threads from almost a decade of research on the implementation of NZC, with a specific focus on how the key competencies have been understood and enacted. This set the scene to discuss a different way to think about weaving key competencies into the curriculum—by introducing "capabilities" as weaving tools. This idea idea is illustrated with two examples set at different levels of the English learning area.
