School Kit + Your Content
Your programme, designed by School Kit
You know your subject inside out. But turning expertise into learning that changes how people think and act and that actually sticks? That requires a different kind of craft entirely.
If there’s something people need to learn we can help you teach it
Can School Kit help?
-
Excellent. We'll start with what you know and who needs to learn it, then build a programme designed to create real change - not just transfer information.
-
This happens more often than you'd think. We'll look at what you have, identify where the learning breaks down, and redesign it so it genuinely shifts understanding.
-
Teachers can spot educational fluff from a mile away. We design programmes that meet their actual needs - curriculum-aligned, classroom-ready, and respectful of their time and expertise. If it's going into schools, it needs to earn its place there.
-
Micro-credentials only mean something if the learning behind them is solid. We'll design programmes that genuinely develop capability, not just tick boxes. This means the credential represents real growth, not just completion.
-
Professional development that doesn't change practice is just expensive storytelling. We'll work out where the disconnect is (often it's not the content but how it's structured, delivered, or supported) and redesign it to create actual change in how people work.
-
Smart programmes scale well, poorly designed ones fall apart under pressure. We'll help you build something robust enough to grow without losing what makes it effective.
We design learning programmes that work. Not just content that informs, but experiences that shift understanding and change behaviour.
Through careful design, we turn your expertise into something people can genuinely learn from, structured to stick, built to last..

Learn about our services
-
Our learning designers understand how people actually learn - not just how to present information. They structure content so it builds understanding, creates connections, and leads to genuine behaviour change. It's a specialised craft, and they're very good at it.
-
Before anything gets designed, someone needs to think hard about what success looks like and how to get there. Our strategists map learning journeys, identify where change needs to happen, and create frameworks that guide everything else. They're the architects behind effective programmes.
-
Turning subject matter expertise into clear, engaging content takes skill. Our content developers know how to draw out what matters, shape it for different audiences, and write in ways that help rather than overwhelm. They make complex things learnable.
-
Learning management systems can be powerful or they can be glorified filing cabinets - it depends how you build in them. We know how to structure courses that use the technology well, creating learning experiences that feel purposeful rather than clicking through slides and pushing the complete button. Our course build includes rich features and the chance to build community.
-
Sometimes the best learning happens with things you can touch and move around. Through School Kit Publishing, we can produce complete boxed kits of manipulatives - cards, tokens, journals, whatever your programme needs. Beautifully made, thoughtfully designed, and integrated seamlessly with your learning design.
-
We can build and award genuine micro-credentials that mean something. Not just digital badges for showing up, but credentials tied to real capability development. We design the learning, set the assessment standards, and issue credentials that represent actual skill growth - the kind that belongs on a professional profile
-
Good programmes get better with use. Our evaluation partners help measure what's actually working, identify where learners struggle, and refine the design based on evidence rather than guesswork. They turn learning programmes into living things that improve over time.
We begin by understanding what needs to change and for whom, then architect the learning journey that gets people there. Content and activity development brings the design to life, followed by materials production and programme launch with everything educators need to deliver it well.
Our Process
Why you should choose us
We know teachers don't want worksheets, colouring in sheets, word-finds or 'Design a [insert word here]’ competitions. We also don't believe any professional teacher worth their salt needs a 10 page step by step teaching guide. So, we work with our partner organisations to create compelling student-centred learning opportunities.
The end result is free resources and kits for teachers… and clients who achieve their goal of making a difference.
WHY TEACHERS LOVE US:
Our kits are challenging teaching experiences.
Our ideas are unconventional.
Our kits have a uniquely NZ flavour.
Our in-depth knowledge of the curriculum.
Our kits are cross-curricular.
Our kits are free to take.
We ask only for evidence the kit was taught.
WHAT WE WON’T DO:
Colouring in sheets and word finds.
Design a stamp/poster/t-shirt competitions.
Actively pursue media ops on your behalf.
Contravene the UN Rights of the Child.
Stick a logo on it and call it education.
Take anything into a classroom that is overtly commercial or commercialised.

FAQs
-
That's fine. We can work with what you have - refining, restructuring, or starting fresh if needed. Sometimes the best approach is to build on existing work; sometimes it's better to begin again. We'll be honest about which will serve you best.
-
Very involved at the start, less so as we progress. We need your subject expertise to get the content right, but the learning design is our craft. We'll guide you through the process without requiring you to become an instructional designer yourself.
-
Not at all. We design learning for anyone trying to teach anything - corporate training, professional development, community education, specialist skills. If there's something people need to learn, we can help you teach it.
-
We don't really work that way. Learning design is complex, and quick fixes rarely address underlying issues. If you'd like a proper review, let's have a conversation about what you're trying to achieve - we can scope something meaningful from there.
-
Only if that's what you want. We can design standalone programmes under your brand, or we can create something that sits within the School Kit family. That's a decision we'll make together based on what serves your goals best.
