Criteria 11



Criteria 11

Fully registered teachers analyse and appropriately use assessment and information, which has been gathered formally and informally.
Key indicators:
  • Analyse assessment information to identify progress and ongoing learning needs of ākonga/learners.
  • Use assessment information to give regular and ongoing feedback to guide and support further learning.
  • Analyse assessment information to reflect on and evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching.
  • Communicate assessment and achievement information to relevant members of the learning community.
  • Foster involvement of whānau in the collection and use of information about the learning of ākonga/learners.

Guiding question

How can I use e-learning tools to gather and use assessment information in ways that advance the learning of my ākonga/students?

Examples

Digital tools for assessment
