As well as supporting the growth of psychology in secondary schools and advocating for the subject and its teachers. The NZAPT also develops resources that can be found in the members-only section of this website.

NZAPT Mentoring Programme

Business Meeting

The NZAPT free mentoring programme is generally for teachers new to teaching psychology. However, we can help seasoned psychology teachers looking to change their course. The NZAPT mentoring programme is collaboratively designed between the mentor and mentee to support the mentee's needs. The mentoring includes

  • being assigned an NZAPT Network of Expertise member to be your mentor.

  • At least two face-to-face meetings with your mentor. This can include classroom observations (of the mentor)

  • Support to develop your programme, including internal design

  • External moderation support.

​

​

As we move closer to the NCEA changes, we will be looking to develop options to support teachers in moving to the new curriculum.

These hubs see assigned Network of Expertise members host and deliver resources designed by NZAPT that focus on course design for a specific standard, internal design, classroom activities, as well as marking and moderation support.
