I have been asked a few times recently “What makes researchED New Zealand different?”.
It is a fair question, especially in a crowded education landscape where conferences, summits, and PLD opportunities blur into one another. I’m also mindful that I publish this with the event effectively on the verge of selling out, three months before it happens. This is not an attempt to sell a ticket to anyone, rather to frame the day and to build on the network of teachers and researchers that is taking shape right now.
This session provides an overview of structured literacy, outlining its core principles and the rationale behind the New Zealand Minister of Education’s decision to mandate its use in primary schools.
Long Bay College deputy principal Lauren Wing will speak at researchED NZ 2026, discussing how Tino Akoranga supports teacher learning and classroom practice.
What is mathematics, and why should we teach it ? And perhaps as we consider these questions, we could begin to understand how we should teach it.

Helen will explore how rethinking literacy priorities—handwriting, knowledge-building, and supported spelling—could open the door to better outcomes for all learners.
Professor McNeil will share research showing effective Tier 2 literacy interventions improve reading outcomes and explain how schools can sustain them.
