Curriculum and Asessment

From 2003 until 2006, Jocelyn was the Geography representative on curriculum development panel drafting the Social Sciences Learning Area for the 2007 NZ Curriculum document. She was also a member of the team tasked with developing Education for Sustainability Achievement Standards for Levels 2 and 3 until their completion in 2009. Jocelyn has since facilitated a number of professional development workshops for teachers interested in incorporating these standards into their learning programmes.

Untouched World Foundation

Since 2005 Jocelyn has facilitated week long immersion programmes for the Trust. These are designed for students aged 15-24 and take them deeply into 'wicked' issues of today's world.

"All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume."
