GIF - Professional Support Materials Development Project
These case studies form part of a support package provided for schools by the Ministry of Education, as part of the Growth and Innovation Framework (GIF) - Technology Education initiative.
Materials have been developed from the experience gained within the Beacon Practice Project and are presented in a range of formats including case studies, both of classroom work and of specific teacher practice.
The case studies provide easy access to quality practice in technology education. They will enable and encourage teachers to reflect on and evaluate their own practice and support the achievement of high quality outcomes for a greater range of technology students. They will also better inform the wider national and international community of the nature and scope of technology education programmes in New Zealand schools.
The timeframe for the materials development process is from November 2005 to September 2007.
