An Observation Survey of Early Literacy Achievement (the Observation Survey) is used widely in NZ schools to assess progress in early literacy learning, and also to identify children who need additional help to make appropriate progress with reading and writing after one year at school.
NZCER was contracted by The Marie Clay Literacy Trust (MCLT) to update the New Zealand norms, and to produce achievement information for the Observation Survey. Two reports were produced, see attachments below.
How can education help students grasp the complexity of the systems surrounding us? Jane Drake, Rolan Kupers and Rose Hipkins authored "Complexity—a big idea for education?" for the International School magazine.
This chapter addresses a complex challenge that is yet to be widely debated in initial teacher education. How might teacher educators more effectively educate beginning teachers to respond to so-called 'twenty-first century' learning imperatives?
The authors draw on six principles identified in a 2012 study of 'future focused' trends in education.
In term 2, 2017, four teachers at Hutt Central School initiated an inquiry into games across their Year 5/6 syndicate. The inquiry spiralled into a variety of learning opportunities, taking slightly different directions across the four classrooms and continuing to 'run in the background' for the rest of the year.
This report outlines findings from a literature review of trends in assessment policy and practice, which was commissioned by the Ministry of Education (the Ministry).
The primary purpose of this report is to inform the Ministry as it considers updating its position on assessment, last articulated in the position paper titled Assessment (Schooling Sector) 2011 (Ministry of Education, 2011).
The report presents findings on the health and wellbeing of te reo Māori, and whānau aspirations for te reo in homes and communities, and in education.
