Using PATs to explore achievement and progress

This is a series of three reports that draw on data from NZCER's PATs to explore student achievement and progress in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Two of the reports use PAT: Mathematics data. One explores the consistency of teacher judgements against National Standards, the other simulates patterns of student progress in National Stanards.

The third one uses data from PAT: Reading Comprehension and is co-written by Melanie Berg and Elliot Lawes. It uses data captured between 2008 and 2015 to summarise student progress. The research is described in the first part of the report and the second part contains the technical detail behind the research.
