The BOGT are members of the Networks of Expertise. They employ three Kaiarahi who work with teachers across the country to grow their skills and pedagogy in Geography. This occurs through individual meetings with kaiako, clusters of teachers within a region or workshops across a region. Kaiarahi produce resources and materials for teachers doing the heavy lifting for them in the busy space of schools.

The 35 Networks of Expertise (NEX) are led by expert, passionate, and innovative kaiako and teachers from across the education sectors. They have a strong understanding of professional learning and development (PLD) needs and aim to develop, grow, and support peer to peer networks across Aotearoa New Zealand.

NEX provide just-in-time teaching, learning and assessment support through PLD, resources, and collaborative face to face and online opportunities. They also offer on-going advice and guidance to build capability and adaptive expertise for kaiako and teachers.

NEX provide support across a range of subject, interest, and learning areas, including for some NEX, the NCEA Change Programme and the implementation of the Aotearoa New Zealand’s Histories curriculum.
