Engagement with learning

In this edition of Assessment News education advisor Cathie Johnson encourages schools to consider how they can reflect and report on dimensions of engagement and learning that cannot be captured by academic achievement data. She poses a number of questions for readers to ponder and outlines some of the research findings that underpin the New Zealand Council for Educational Research’s student engagement survey, Me and My School. Cathie has supported a wide range of schools to utilise the tool and now shares some of the teaching and learning journeys that have unfolded across New Zealand as a result.
