This category contains resources on language, literacy and numeracy support, adult and community education, transitions to tertiary education, learner access and pathways; and were designed for educators working in foundation-level education.
IMPORTANT:
A number of language, literacy and numeracy resources formerly hosted by Ako Aotearoa – including the Learning Progressions Resources – have moved to a new home on the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) website.
