What is the Wolves Lair Project?
The Wolves Lair project is a free on line educational resource for Year’s 8 -13.
It is inspired by the 'Dragon’s Den' TV series in which people ‘pitch’ an idea for investment.
The Wolves Lair programme is a cross learning area resource based on the New Zealand Curriculum. It is designed to encourage enterprising attributes in students in authentic settings.
In the learning students plan, create, design and pitch their ideas to a Wolves Lair panel. Schools are able to create and shape versions of the resource to meet their students talents and needs.
Teacher resources
All material is aimed at helping implement the new curriculum, is supported by the
Ministry of Education and, best of all, it is FREE! There is no cost for students
or teachers.
The programme:
- Is free. No school or student fees to register
- Doesn't require you to form a company or have any specific structure
- Can have students participating on their own – they do not need to be allocated
specific roles if preferred
- Can be used in any curriculum area
- Is incredibly flexible for teachers
"I have found the resources very clear and easy to use, particularly their relevance
to the new curriculum with suggested strategies and approaches. They offered a fresh
style and different viewpoint."
