Secondary School Teachers

These new teaching resources, written for Year 12 Social Sciences teachers, provide innovative and exciting teaching and learning units to support the study of the European Union across the social sciences disciplines.  They are aligned with the new New Zealand Curriculum and have been written by New Zealand teachers and reviewed by curriculum experts.

The resources can be taught by economics, geography or history teachers individually, or by a team of teachers who wish to focus on the European Union in their respective disciplines.

The links between New Zealand and the European Union are highlighted, particularly in the fields of international relations, free trade, overseas aid, human rights and environmental issues.

 

Each of the resources features:
