NCEA Toolkit

The resources have been developed to ensure senior secondary students will be set up to make good future financial decisions. Just like our resources for years 9-10 (i.e. curriculum level 4 & 5), they are designed to incorporate into everyday lessons.

All resources are aligned to the New Zealand Curriculum and are NZQA accredited. They are linked to the MOE financial capability progressions and provide learning materials and assessment tasks based on unit standards

What's included

There are four unit standards at NCEA Level 1, and four unit standards at NCEA Level 2. All learning is student-centred and supports individual learning plans based on their selected future tertiary education, workplace learning or industry of choice. The learning and assessment materials use real-life situations, where students will gain:

• key competencies valued by employers
• connections to the world of work through contextualised learning
• the confidence and capability to transition from school into the wider world of future education, training, or employment.

For each unit standard the following resources are available for teacher and student use:

• A teacher guide to the learning and assessment materials, including potential links to achievement standards
• A student booklet with engaging and meaningful content and activities. The booklet also includes detailed explanations of what they must understand in order meet the standard(s) requirements.
• A video to inspire students to engage in real life financial situations, closely linked to the unit standards learning materials
• Assessment tasks that assess the student's learning against the unit standard and gives them the opportunity to gain credits towards the NCEA certificate qualification at either Achieved, Merit or Excellence
• A completion certificate to celebrate becoming financially capable in that unit standard
