Professional Learning Communities

• NCEA level one forum
• NCEA level two forum
• NCEA Level three consultation
• Numeracy Unit standards forum

These PLCs are intended to act as a forum for teachers to ask and discuss questions relating to NCEA. They will be moderated by the NCEA national coordinators for mathematics and statistics (Anne Lawrence and Neil Marshall). Members of the PLCs will receive email updates when new posts are made. Within each PLC there are a number of discussion threads. Within the Level 1, 2 and 3 NCEA PLCs there is a discussion thread for each achievement standard.

If you have a question to post please ensure that you do so by adding a comment to the appropriate thread. For more information on joining and using PLCs please read the help file.
