Key messages

Each EOTC activity should have a purpose that relates to the national curriculum

Consciously identify the best venue for each activity


Using teaching as inquiry to inform practice

Loburn clip focus questions Given what you see in the clip, what could have

been the possible learning needs of the students? What might have been the needs connected to the

NZC? Why might EOTC have been chosen as the most

appropriate teaching and learning strategy? How could teachers have determined that EOTC was

the best strategy?

There are legal requirements which everyone must observe

Leaders must be aware of the relevant codes and accepted best practice


Module 6: Conclusions In education circles, the legal chapter in the

EOTC Guidelines is highly regarded as succinctly capturing the responsibilities and accountabilities under NZ law.

With students at the centre there are statutory requirements and obligations for boards.

Society’s expectations around safety are increasing and so you need to understand governance responsibilities, accountabilities, and liability.
