• Te Whāriki The Early Childhood curriculum
  
  
• Kei Tua o te Pae : Kei Tua o te Pae/Assessment for Learning: Early Childhood Exemplars. The task of getting every page of the exemplars online will take some time. In most cases the introduction has been loaded and the rest of the book is available to download in pdf format.
