Progress Outcomes

Progress outcomes summarise what students should understand, know, and be able to do as they progress through three phases of learning:

  • Phase 1 (years 0–3)
  • Phase 2 (years 4–6)
  • Phase 3 (years 7–8)

Teachers use the outcomes—plus evidence from assessments and day‑to‑day observation—to build a rounded picture of each learner's progress, strengths, gaps and next steps, and to report to [whānau.

Teaching Sequences

Teaching sequences provide year-by-year guidance on what to teach and how to teach it as students work towards the progress outcomes. They support spiralled learning, where key ideas and practices are revisited in increasingly complex ways to deepen understanding.
