Aligning assessment tools with National Standards
07 April 2010
There's a good range of formal assessment tools that teachers use to assess student progress in reading, writing and maths. These tools will remain very useful as teachers work with the National Standards.
Scores obtained from such tools are one of the sources of evidence that teachers can draw on as they make overall teacher judgments.
To make it easier for teachers to get a handle on this process, the Ministry of Education has provided online information about how scores align to the standards at certain year levels. Included are a set of PDF files and web-pages that teachers can use as guidelines in their own work and during in-school professional development. Go to alignment of assessment tools
