Network of Expertise Announcement

The New Zealand Association of Psychology Teachers is pleased, proud and excited to announce that we have been awarded a Ministry of Education contract for the next two years under the 'Networks of Expertise' initiative. Networks of Expertise are designed to provide subject specific professional development support for teachers. The focus of the Network set up by NZAPT will include strengthening existing supports such as our annual professional development workshop as well as developing new initiatives to provide resources, peer support and networks for new and experienced teachers of psychology in new Zealand.  We need you to take a few minutes to respond to the survey on Network proposals and resource development!
Please go to the Network of Expertise page for more information, the survey and positions available.

Positions Available!
NZQA has asked NZAPT to alert members to the following available positions to help with the development and marking of the external assessment. 
An 'Independent Checker' - this is a contracted teacher who sits a new exam paper as though they were a student in order to find any problems with questions, resources etc.
Markers and moderators will also be required for the external assessment. 

NZAPT would encourage you to consider applying for these positions. Remember - you are the experts in the field! NZQA has struggled to recruit enough appropriate people for these kinds of positions in the past. This is also great professional development! 
Further information on these positions can be found on NZQAs website here. ​
