Introduction to 2008 - 2012 Strategic Plan

"Every student in New Zealand, whether in the primary, secondary or tertiary education sector, should have the opportunity to learn an additional language taught by a skilled practitioner. This practitioner will be an active member of the New Zealand Association of Language Teachers (NZALT) - the innovative, vibrant professional organisation that is the voice for language learning and teaching in New Zealand."

Ka nui te mihi ki a koutou mōu koutou mahi i ngā reo.

I am pleased to introduce the 2008 - 2012 Strategic Plan for NZALT.

The purpose of the Strategic Plan is two-fold.

Firstly, it will help the NZALT National Executive determine the effectiveness of the leadership and support that it currently provides to teachers of languages across the primary, secondary and tertiary education sectors. This is essential to enable us to improve our leadership and the products and services that we offer.

Secondly, we have created an inspirational Vision and identified clear Goals and Objectives to be achieved over the next five years. These Goals and Objectives are focused on taking advantage of the many opportunities that exist for NZALT; not only with the implementation of the new learning area of Learning Languages in the New Zealand Curriculum, but also throughout the years that follow, as we strive to establish NZALT as the first point of reference for all teachers of languages.
