ERO review

Akarangi · 2025-10-07

Daycare Near Me's analysis of the ERO report — six dimensions with verbatim quotes (methodology).
Curriculum & learning
C
"Leaders acknowledge that the quality and consistency of assessment, planning and evaluation requires development. ERO's evaluation supports this as an area for development. Current learning narratives do not clearly show how teachers extend and challenge children."

Assessment and planning inconsistent; narratives lack evidence of teacher extension

Bicultural practice
B
"Development of the bicultural curriculum has been a centre-wide strategic priority. Leaders and teachers demonstrate commitment to and progress with their knowledge and use of te reo me ngā tikanga Māori. Ongoing professional development, including working with external expertise, is contributing to the centre-wide growth of experiences within te ao Māori."

Strategic commitment to bicultural curriculum with ongoing professional development evident
