The HeartLead NZ Individual Planning Template supports kaiako to plan with clarity, confidence, and intention — helping you move beyond documentation toward truly responsive teaching.
 
Designed to align with Te Whāriki, He Māpuna te Tamaiti, and Kōwhiti Whakapae, this editable Word document provides a clear, reflective structure that takes you from noticing to responding and evaluating. It links seamlessly with the Intentional Practice Reference Guide, supporting you to identify learning outcomes, determine possible trajectories, and design intentional responses that grow children’s learning in purposeful ways.
 
This resource helps kaiako strengthen the link between observation, planning, and teaching — keeping the process meaningful, relational, and grounded in our shared guiding frameworks.
