2026 NZQA wānanga ā-ipurangi | Online workshops and drop-in sessions

In 2026, NZQA will run a series of online workshops and drop-in sessions to support kura and kaiako delivering Te Marautanga o Aotearoa (TMoA) and New Zealand Curriculum (NZC) kaupapa Māori Level 1 achievement standards, as well as a selection of field Māori unit standards.

About the workshops and drop-in sessions

Workshops will be held for each subject/wāhanga ako and will focus on assessing standards. The workshops will run for up to 2 hours and cover internal and external assessment.

Follow-up drop-in sessions will be available in term 3. These sessions will be open for 1 hour and are an opportunity for kaiako to discuss any assessment issues or follow-up questions from the workshops with a subject matter expert.

All workshops and drop-in sessions will be held online via Microsoft Teams.

Who can attend?

The workshops and drop-in sessions are targeted at kaiako who are new or require a refresher or support in assessing against the standards.

Before the workshops

Kaiako are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the standards and resources on the:

• NZQA subject pages
• NCEA.education website (external link)

Once you’re registered, any preparation material and resources required will be sent to you prior to the workshop.
