Making a Difference for the Under Fives? The Early Implementation of Te Whaariki, the New Zealand National Early Childhood Curriculum.

May, Helen; Carr, Margaret

International Journal of Early Years Education, v5 n3 p225-36 Oct 1997

Describes the implementation of Te Whaariki, the New Zealand National Early Childhood Curriculum. Found that general support for the curriculum is high but that current regulations and funding make it difficult for centers to meet the quality expectations. Several training institutions have begun using Te Whaariki as a framework, and evaluation and assessment guidelines are in progress. (KB)
