Momentum have adapted and used our local curriculum ideas and created some wonderful resources that
allow for student agency. The tasks are underpinned by sound social science pedagogy like perspectives,
decision making, critical thinking, understanding sources and bias, and conceptual understanding.
My favourite resources link the past with the contemporary through exploring the concept of identity. The tasks
integrate skills with content that we think is important for our students to explore, for example how Te Tiriti impacts
Ngāi Tahu today. I would fully recommend Momentum Learning to help you with implementing ANZHs.
