Support your teaching and learning

Explore NZCER Assessments is a one-hour workshop that gives an overview of a one specific NZCER assessment tool. This can include:

• Progressive Achievement Tests (PATs)
• STAR Reading Test

The full list of assessments we administer and support is available here. 

In this workshop, you’ll become familiar with the reports available in the tool and how to use the information to support teaching and learning in primary and secondary schools.

The workshop will help you:

• understand the tool construct (i.e. concept progression, question types)
• select an appropriate test (i.e. how to differentiate assessments)
• understand stanines and scale scores and how assessment results relate to The New Zealand Curriculum
• explore the range of reports and see how this information can support teaching and learning
• connect with the Assessment Resource Banks (ARBs)

This workshop is ideal for teachers, leaders (principal, senior leaders, curriculum leaders and HODs), and Kāhui Ako leaders (across school and in-school leaders).
