Welcome to our new blog, NZCER on Assessment. The idea is to provide a place for information, ideas and support about all aspects of assessment. We'll be talking about NZCER's assessment tools and services but we also want to address wider assessment questions and link to relevant international material. We reckon we've got quite a bit of expertise about assessment within NZCER. But we don't have all the answers and we are keen to tap into the ideas and practical experience of others working in the assessment field, including teachers using our assessment tools in schools. We would welcome your questions or ideas for topics you'd like addressed. Please read our guidelines for comments.
