Achievement

To monitor the achievement of Māori students schools had effective school-wide assessment practice including:

• clearly expressed school-wide guidelines for assessment that directs teachers to gather information from a range of sources over time
• information that shows Māori student improvement and progress compared to nationally benchmarked assessments
• comprehensive board reports that provide comparisons of progress over time
• analysis of information for significant trends and patterns
• assessment analyses contribute to resourcing and teaching decisions
• assessment analyses give regard to Māori students in the bilingual unit as well as those in mainstream classes.
