Hello and welcome to the new NZCER paetukutuku (website) - we're glad you could make it!
This has been quite some time coming, and we are very excited about it. We'd like to take a moment to show you what's changed, as well as where you can find our usual research, books and journals, psychological tests, assessments and more.
Where to find what you're looking for:
We have slightly revamped the main menu, but all of our usual research, assessments and publications are still available.
- Research: All of our research publications, projects and kaimahi - including our strategically important Te Pae Tawhiti and Te Wāhanga work
- Books and journals: Does what it says on the tin! This is where you will find the likes of Set: Research information for teachers and Russell Bishop's Leading to the North East.
- Assessments and surveys: This is where you'll find our Progressive Achievement Tests, STAR Reading Test, Te Urungi: A beginner's assessment for te reo Māori, and all of our surveys like Me & My School. Also where you can buy tests or find manuals for each assessment.
- Education advisors: Seeking a bit more support with your assessments or surveys, or some custom PLD? This is where you'll find out Education Advisors and how they can help!
- Psychological tests: The same as it was on our previous paetukutuku.
- News and blogs: Updates about us and from us - including our recent commentary on assessment, a report on reading for pleasure in Dargaville, and the piece you're reading now.
- About NZCER: Everything you need to know about us, including our pūrongo ā-tau (annual reports), any new positions vacant and our contact details.
What's new on the website?
We've made some changes that we hope will make browsing our rangahau a more enjoyable experience, including:
- Expanded reo Māori translations of much of the site - try the toggle on our Te Wāhanga research or our main research pages!
- Improved tagging and search for finding similar research, browsing by keyword or seeing more of an author's work with NZCER
- More streamlined test ordering - no more scrolling past a dozen tests to find the one you want!
- Brand-new look and feel
There is plenty more going on behind the scenes - and please do bear with us as there will inevitably be the occasional link that we need to fix. And as always, if you have any queries, find us at info@nzcer.org.nz
Most of all, enjoy!
