In 2011 we underwent a Departmental Review. There were several reasons for this:
Low success rates
Low progression rates
The need for a Level 4 Qualification to provide University Entrance
Future possibility of needing to incorporate NCEA
High staff to student ratio
21st Century pedagogy was not evident
Education pathway
The template
developed to aid us writing new courses from scratch
It enables us to
plan collaboratively
scrutinize assessments
map academic literacies
pilot new initiatives
see from student’s perspective
Strengths of Pathway Design
Contextualized learning
Freedom to work to destination specific requirements
Freedom to try new projects
Collegial experience for lecturers, belonging for students
Wealth of new projects
