Identify learners’ needs and issues that should be considered in curriculum

development.
The needs of learners should be considered within the contexts of:

their current physical, social, intellectual, and emotional development

the classroom and school environment

the special nature of their communities

a wider knowledge about the health status, needs, and physical activity patterns of children,

adolescents, and adults in New Zealand society.

Those who identify students' learning needs should be informed by consultation with the students

themselves, school staff members, parents, caregivers, and education professionals.
