Schools in the same region are grouped to form a cluster and attend a moderation workshop facilitated by our Assurance Team.

Waihanga Ara Rau hold around 30 regional cluster moderation workshops.
The University of Canterbury (UC) offers an alternative entry pathway into their Graduate Diploma of Teaching and Learning. Spread the news across your networks.
We all know skilled and passionate technology teachers are in short supply. UC’s alternative entry pathway recognises trade experience and qualifications instead of the required Bachelor’s Degree. Moreover, the alternative entry pathway includes a distance option, and the qualification may be completed full-time in one year or part-time over two years.
