Biology Educators of Aotearoa New Zealand (BEANZ) is an incorporated
society whose purpose is to support and promote Biology education
throughout New Zealand.
Our focus is on building pedagogy and content knowledge of members
through the provision of regular newsletters, regional workshops, resources,
website, and scholarships for members to attend relevant conferences,
specific projects such as provision of support materials, and the biennial
conference, BioLive.
BEANZ also produces and publishes NCEA level 3 practice examination papers
each year as well as other materials to support teachers in assessment
practices. All professional educators who have an interest in Biology Education
in New Zealand are encouraged to become members of BEANZ.
