Educators & Schools

Category 2: For Educators & Schools

Building a truly inclusive classroom is one of the most rewarding challenges for an educator.
You aim to create a learning environment where every ākonga (student) feels they belong, can access the curriculum, and see themselves reflected in their learning. At Inclusive World NZ, we want to support your mission. This page curates essential Aotearoa New Zealand-specific frameworks, teaching materials, and professional learning resources to help you empower all learners.
