FAQs

The Sorted in School’s programme is available for both the New Zealand Curriculum (NZC) and Māori Medium Education (MME).

We have NCEA resources for senior secondary students. Find them in the NCEA toolkit. 

You can also find resource for school leavers here.

Sorted in Schools is fully funded by the government, and therefore a free educational programme for all New Zealand secondary schools and kura. 

We will always indicate in the resource menu which version of the assessment is provided. When assessment version is updated, we will notify you in our .

You can always download the most up-to-date version.  Just make sure you have updated the version for your own records.

You can trial the learning resources in two ways.

• A formal trial run by CORE Education

• An informal trial run by Sorted in Schools

Formal trials are run by our resource developer, CORE Education. Joining a formal trial means you're committed to using the resources with your students during a defined period.

To ensure it doesn’t interfere with your current workload, we’ll pay for a full day teacher release, so you have time to trial the resources and collate your feedback.

CORE will provide each trial teacher/kaiako with a timeline, clear instructions, survey questions and direct support.

If you're interested in being part of a formal trial, your school will be asked to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to formalise the process. You'll be asked to complete a survey at the end of the trial to share you and your students' experiences.

Informal trials are a more ‘casual’ way of trialling and providing feedback on new resources. Rather than having timelines and specific survey questions, you can use the resources in your own time and provide feedback to us directly.

You are welcome to give your feedback at any time by clicking on this link.

All schools and kura can register and participate in any trials.

Formal and informal trials are occurring at any given time.  Look out for trial updates on our homepage or register your interest by emailing us at schools@sorted.org.nz. Tell us what resources you’d like to trial and we’ll get back to you on what’s available.

Yes, you can trial the learning resources in two ways:

Formal trials are run through our resource developer, CORE Education. Joining a formal trial means you're committed to using the resources with your students during a defined period.

To ensure a formal trial doesn’t interfere with your current workload, we’ll pay for a full day teacher release so you have time to trial the resources and collate your feedback.

If you have taken part in previous trials, you will not be automatically enrolled in future trials. However, when you participate in a trial, we will ask you if you are keen to participate in future trials and contact you when a new trial takes place.

The trials are free for all schools and kura to participate in.

Sorted in Schools is fully government funded and all initiatives are free. The official trial through CORE Education offers teacher a release day to ensure teachers have adequate time to prepare.

We understand that life sometimes gets in the way of the best laid plans. If you’ve signed up to the formal CORE trial, they’ll get in touch to see whether another teacher at your school could step in. If you've registered for the more flexible trial via our registration form, you can email us on schools@sorted.org.nz to let us know.

You are welcome to revisit the resources at any stage, and we're always welcome your feedback through this short survey or emailing us.
