Background information
In 2017 the TEC commissioned a review of sector adult literacy and numeracy teaching capability.
In response to this the TEC funded Ako Aotearoa to:
1. develop a new Capability Building Model
2. design new Professional Learning and Development courses, which were tailored to individual needs
3. develop an Adult Literacy and Numeracy Effective Practice Model to give educators guidance in effective pedagogical practice
4. create the Tapatoru Ako Professional Practice Framework
5. develop a Māori Cultural Capability pathway and a Pacific Cultural Centredness pathway to help build educator cultural capability

6. prepare resources on learner agency.
We discussed the current challenges for learners and educators in foundation education and our response to these at the presentation on 31 March 2021.
Further developments
As a follow-up from the presentation on 31 March 2021 Ako Aotearoa published a Context Review to provide an overview of national and international literature, policy documentation, and research findings.
