Programme design needs to be flexible enough to allow for students to begin studying legal studies at any level.
To set up effective legal studies programmes in their school, teachers need to establish a supportive learning environment, consider the key elements needed to plan for a legal studies programme, decide on an appropriate approach, and plan to deliver content that will meet the needs and interests of their students, using appropriate instructional strategies and learning and assessment opportunities.
Information about how to construct a supportive learning environment can be found in the effective pedagogy section of this guide and the effective pedagogy section of The New Zealand Curriculum.
