Abstract	New Zealand is currently (2006-2007) evaluating a new national secondary school curriculum. [....] In this presentation I discuss the options that are being created for the development of school-based curricula in local contexts. Specifically, the focus is on schools that develop curricula that use Kaupapa Maori (the principles and practices of Maori people), given the importance attached to sustainable use of the environment in Maori culture. I argue that the synergy of combining a new school-based curriculum development process with a commitment to explore Maori approaches to environmental sustainability provides an opportunity for new teaching and learning approaches. The inevitable caveat relates to the commitment to and resourcing of curriculum development. The draft curriculum document replaces existing curriculum statements in subject areas with a more open framework encouraging school-based negotiation. Promoting this more open approach will require investment of time and effort from a diverse cohort of teachers. I argue that professional development opportunities need to be put in place alongside curriculum statements if issues like sustainability are to be addressed, and that this remains as a challenge yet to be accepted by the New Zealand Ministry of Education.
