(March 2011) Pedagogical leaders in Alternative Education (AE) centres: Advice to schools.  Pedagogical leaders must be fully registered teachers. This means that most will be employed by secondary schools. It is possible that some AE providers will want to employ their own PLs but it remains to be seen how they could do this over the long term given the requirement that PLs maintain full registration.   Alternatively, some schools/centres may decide to access staff from Te Kura, or School Support Services, to offer pedagogical leadership/support.  Managing schools, in particular, will need to remain alert to this requirement and ensure that the PL role is fulfilled – as per the MOE requirement – by fully registered teachers.
