NZCER have released the latest feature for Progressive Achievement Tests (PATs) - whānau reports! These are now available for PAT Pāngarau and our suite of literacy assessments, including PAT Pānui and PAT Reading Vocabulary.
Whānau reports are designed to be simple summaries of how an ākonga has done in a PAT, including national averages and the margin of error.
As with all PAT information, this is intended as a snapshot and just one piece of the puzzle. We have room for kaiako comments on the whānau reports, and expect they would be used alongside classrooms observations and input from the whānau and ākonga themselves.
You can access whānau reports through the NZCER Assist platform – if you have any feedback or questions, please contact the NZCER Assessment Services team here.
