He visited16secondary schools to look at ideas, plans and operating models. Mr Preece said most schools in New Zealand were heading down apath of change and were investigatingcurriculum. Manywere also taking agood hard look at NCEA Level 1. Mr Preece said LincolnHigh Schoolhad doneaway with Level 1last year and Christ Collegeplannedtodothe same next year. He said times were changing and schools needed to better prepare students for amore dynamic world. Students needed to be problemsolvers, more resilient, good oral communicators and work better with others. The currentmodelof‘‘rope learning’’ was less relevant today. Staff, students and the community needed to understand why change was neededand then the challenge was to introduceit. ‘‘Themost challengingaspect is probably getting parents who did well in the traditional system of assessment to understand that whatthey did won’t be what their kids need to do to be successful in the future.’’ Mr Preece said he had picked up some good ideasonhis travelsthat could be adopted and he had compiledareport. His findings reaffirmed that Ashburton College was further Ashburton College principal Ross Preece down the path of change than a number of other schools, in part due to the innovation option it had offeredtoYear 9and 10 students overthe last few years. Next year both teaching models, the traditional model and innovation, would be offered again, but from 2023 only the latter, he said. The innovation modelwas aboutsubject collaboration and practical learning,but still featured explicitsubject teaching. Mr Preece said no decision on whether NCEA Level 1 wouldstay or go at Ashburton College would be made until the findings of anational reviewwere revealed. He said many education systems around the world did not feature threeyears of high stakesassessments like New Zealand’s. If NCEA Level 1was to be done awaywith it would see the reduction of credit assessments in Year 11. Currently85per cent of students get Level 1, Mr Preece said.
