ACG Tauranga Preschool

"Teachers and leaders are building collective understanding of how to use the learning outcomes in Te Whāriki, the early childhood curriculum, in planning and assessment information."

Sound curriculum understanding being developed; Te Whāriki integration underway but still building.

"Teachers have developed positive relationships with parents and there are some opportunities for parents to contribute to the daily curriculum."

Positive relationships established; parent contribution emerging but could expand.

"Leaders and teachers are taking steps to integrate te reo Māori and tikanga Māori into the curriculum. Māori children can hear te reo Māori used in the context of their play. They experience waiata, storytelling and karakia. Cultural symbols and resources are visible in the environment."

Bicultural integration developing; te reo and tikanga visible and actively integrated into practice.

"Leaders and teachers implement policies, procedures and practices that meet regulatory requirements."

Compliant with health and safety regulatory requirements; systems established.

"A long-term plan informed by AGC values and priorities guides ongoing improvement. Teachers are provided with a range of relevant professional development opportunities. An established system is in place for internal evaluation."

Strategic direction clear; professional learning and internal evaluation systems established and developing.
