Social action in schools
Dr Wood is leading a team exploring implementation of the 2013 National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) social studies assessment requirements for ‘personal social action’, where students take on a social issue.
This often begins at Level 1 with fundraising and raising awareness. As students progress through NCEA they often move to critiquing existing policy.
