Journal – Cultural Chords installment 2

Apart from me forgetting my physiotherapy appointment, the highlight of yesterday afternoon was the “Reflections on NCEA Moderation.” I’m slightly nervous about be too specific, but suffice to say that it was breathtakingly frank.

  • One of the speakers was pretty brutal about the way NZQA is run
  • They spent a lot of time talking about the website – which is good, but is taking a long time to be developed. The video examples are taking over 18 months to go online.
  • Best practice workshops are the most important PD that high school music teachers can get. This can’t be pushed hard enough.
