“Doing NZCALNE was a truly enriching experience. I was particularly impressed by the practical approach to learning, and the hands-on experience that I gained in this course has given me the confidence to apply my newfound knowledge in my profession.
The course content covered a wide range of topics, including the theoretical foundations of adult literacy and numeracy, the importance of culturally responsive teaching, and strategies for promoting learner engagement and motivation. I found it highly useful to understand the Māori and Pasifika learners’ worldviews of education and their specific needs in the context of literacy and numeracy and to design lessons for learners from these accordingly. This is an area that is often overlooked in mainstream education.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their understanding of adult literacy and numeracy in the New Zealand context, especially for Māori and Pasifika learners. The course has given me the confidence and skills to make a real difference in the lives of my learners, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have completed it.”
