“Working with GEMs Aotearoa over the past 2 terms is making a significant difference to teaching and learning at our School. The training is equipping teachers with the skills to use the Depth and Complexity (D&C) icons, which is deepening children’s understanding across various subjects. These icons are powerful tools that scaffold student inquiry, promote higher-order thinking, and encourage exploration of topics from multiple perspectives.” (Principal, Full Primary)
