New to PATs? Want to know the ins and outs of the tools? NZCER's Education Advisors are now offering two PLD workshops to support schools as they begin using Progressive Achievement Tests.
The first workshop helps kaiako understand the purpose, design and construct of PAT assessments. The second workshop helps kaiako analyse the assessment data of one tool (ie PAT Pāngarau or PAT Pānui) to identify strengths and next steps to support teaching and learning.
Workshop 1 is held prior to assessments being sat by ākonga, while Workshop 2 is held after assessments.
Workshop 1 - Introduction to PATs and Kia Rite ākonga and kaiako
This workshop supports kaiako to:
- understand the role of standardised assessments in supporting teaching and learning
- prepare themselves and ākonga for the assessments
- develop an understanding of the construct of the assessment tool(s)
Workshop 2 - Data analysis of one assessment tool
This workshop supports kaiako to:
- understand value of scale scores
- develop data literacy capability through data analysis
- use data information to support teaching and learning
