Top Teaching Tasks or TTT as we use in our planning at my school, has been a game changer in terms of relevant, up-to-date Aotearoa resources. We are always amazed at how many incredible digital and paper resources there are on here. They are constantly being updated and added to all the time. Our students love learning through these, my team and I love how easy they are to use, how detailed and linked to our NZ Curriculum they are. And the new Structured Literacy learning is incredible. Hinemoa has her finger on the pulse of Education and the changes that are happening all the time. This is an annual subscription my team and I will continue into the future. Thank you.

Amazing resources that are practical and easy to use in the classroom. Something for every year level and ability and such a great range. New resources are added regularly and great communication about these. I recently had an issue downloading a file and had a very prompt response to my query and it was sorted. Excellent service! This site is a great timesaver for me and well worth the subscription.

I absolutely love these resources. There are always new ones arriving. AND if you ask for a resource or a collection or some help, she's onto it. Very grateful.

The support I have had in setting up the programme had its minor issues, after much forward and backward guidance from Hinemoa, and I thank her sincerely. I am now on track

A week in NZ’s history is an amazing resource to complement my reading and inquiry program for my senior students. It builds interest and curiosity and the students want to find out more. Great to have links for further reading supplied for teachers and students.

They have AMAZING teaching resources available that cover every possible aspect of the curriculum for each year level. It doesn't seem to matter how comprehensive their library is, they also constantly come up with new and innovative ideas and are to be admired for the way they keep 100% up to date with any curriculum changes IMMEDIATELY! The only downside is the paid membership is too expensive for me to pay myself and school won't cover it 🙁

We have had a subscription to this service for over a year now, and all I can say is wow! There is so much fabulous content, and with planning included. Any teacher I have recommended this site too has also said wow. Give it a look, you won't be disappointed!

Top Teaching Tasks just keeps getting better and better. It is especially wonderful for teachers in Aotearoa as it has resources that are relevant and aligned with the curriculum.

Love the resources Hinemoa has at Top Teaching Tasks. They are not only fun and engaging activities, but they are also purposeful. No “busy work” here! My students have thoroughly enjoyed all of the Top Teaching Tasks resources we have used, and I love how much time it’s saved me. Thank you Hinemoa.

I love this resource! It has saved me hours of extra planning time with follow up tasks. I love the range of New Zealand resources we can use, especially with Aotearoa New Zealand histories curriculum coming in next year. The kids love doing them too 🙂

Kia Ora Koutou,
Just wanted to reach out and tell you how much my year 7 class is enjoying season one of the Aotearoa History podcast this year. It's a favourite part of our week. I hear from parents that students are talking about what we're listening to at home.
I love hearing them link past learning with current episodes and how some of them have gone on to reading more about certain events. This morning we listened to the episode about World War 2. I was so impressed to hear a group of boys talking about Michael Joseph Savage and remembering that he was the PM who introduced benefits and was a PM who looked after the common people.
At my school we always do the PAT Listening Comprehension test at the start of the year, but never do anything with the results. This year I decided that listening skills really need to be developed and that taking notes from listening is a key skill my learners need to learn. I'm so glad I stumbled across this podcast series and your resource to go with it!
I intend to continue with season 2, but I'll listen to the episodes before hand and decide whether my students are mature enough to cope with the content.
Have a fabulous weekend and I love your work!
