The "Other" Curriculum Roadshow - HAMILTON

Multiple Choice: Hamilton Screening and Education Discussion

Join the Aotearoa Educators Collective (AEC) for a pivotal evening of discussion focused on the future of education with colleagues in Hamilton. We are proud to host a screening of the compelling documentary, Multiple Choice - see the trailer here.

This film explores the profound and often challenging impacts of high-stakes, standardised testing on students, teachers, and the entire education system. Following the screening, we will open up a vital conversation about how we assess, Curriculum reform, and celebrating what is great about what we are doing now in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Your Voice Matters

This event is a crucial opportunity for educators, policymakers, parents, and community members to engage directly with key issues shaping our local schools and kura. We aim to:

• Spark informed discussion about the role of assessment and qualifications.

• Reflect on the implications for the ongoing redevelopment of the New Zealand Curriculum, national testing, and NCEA.

• Encourage collaboration across our sector to reimagine equitable, future-focused pathways for all learners.
