Each year, the NEMP assessments cover about one quarter of the national curriculum for primary schools. We are in the second year of the fourth four-year cycle, and there are opportunities in a number of areas. The following table outlines the curriculum areas that will be covered and gives an indication of when applications close each year.

NEMP invites practising teachers with primary or intermediate experience to apply for positions as teacher administrators, working with either year 4 or year 8 students.

The period of secondment to NEMP involves attendance at a three day training workshop, (in Wellington for Year 8; in Auckland for Year 4), followed by five weeks administering a variety of assessment tasks in different schools. The Project meets the full cost of teacher release, training and travel.

Year 8 administrators are engaged from 18 August – 24 September 2010. (3 training days (Wellington) + 5 weeks in schools)

Year 4 administrators are engaged from 13 October – 19 November 2010. (3 training days (Auckland) + 5 weeks in schools)

IMPORTANT NOTE:
In mid February 2010, the decision was made to revise and reduce the training week to three days only
as opposed to five days. Note also that training for Year 4 administrators will be held in Auckland.

Applications are required by 1 March 2010. Later applications will be considered if there are vacancies.
