Technology Curriculum Support
Introduction
The Ministry of Education has developed this package to support schools and teachers with the implementation of the technology curriculum in The New Zealand Curriculum (2007). The papers included in this package have been developed during 2007 to explain and exemplify the underpinning ideas within the technology curriculum in The New Zealand Curriculum (2007) and reflect a significant body of research and classroom practice.
The Ministry of Education would like to thank all those involved in the work leading up to the publication of this package. This includes the researchers involved, School Support Services Advisers, pre-service lecturers and the numerous teachers and school curriculum leaders who have provided guidance and ongoing feedback on the materials to date.
The Ministry of Education also welcomes ongoing feedback on the usefulness of this package, and guidance as to any additional material schools and teachers would find useful.
