Benefits

By collaborating and sharing teaching capability and expertise, children's and young people's learning pathways are supported and their transition through the education system is improved. Communities of Learning also provide more opportunities for parents, families and whānau and communities to be involved with their children’s and young people's learning.

Schools and kura within a Community of Learning are resourced to allow time for teachers to work together on tackling the achievement challenges, drawing on each other’s skills, knowledge and experience. Communities of Learning also open up new career opportunities for principals and teachers.

Achievement challenges
