Survey to help NZCER improve its website

 

We've prepared two surveys - Treejack studies - which will help NZCER re-organize content on our website. We would be delighted if you could assist us by completing both - they take no more than 10-15 minutes each to do.

You will be asked to find a certain item, then presented with a list of links, which you sort through until you arrive at one that you think helps you complete the task.

By completing both surveys you'll also be in the draw for ten $50 book vouchers, which we will advise once we have sufficient completions.

The survey links, which are live now:

Cathy Wylie

What was the real effect of the radical Tomorrow’s Schools reforms? Has New Zealand’s school system improved as a result? What changes are needed now to meet our expectations of schools?

This is the definitive and compelling story of New Zealand school self management over more than two decades. Cathy Wylie explores the paths taken and the growing tensions of a system that left too much to chance.
