NZCER Workshop


NZCER

PATs a health check of how our teachers are going and how the teaching and learning looks in the school.

Staines are not helpful for teachers

The data is about how the teachers are moving  the kids learning

PAT data comes in to challenge you and tell you what is going on in classrooms

Videos on NZCER to help prepare kids for the tests

PAT is a fidelity check on our internal sources

PATS are not tests of the curriculum, tests of the subject area

How children move though the progression of learning has not changed (despite curriculum changes)

The scale score is what we need to use.   PAT scale position and progress benchmarks

Stanines are useful to see our school bell curve.

In any one test there is a two year stretch of question difficultly.  

Adaptive tests can be given to all kids.   

Adaptive Maths.    

Th numbers above the line are n to gaps - they are next steps.  

Anything in brackets is the norm data

Student Projectors by Progress Category - new

Clean the data - same kids sitting both tests

We need to cut through he data before we put it anywhere near our teachers.   Find. A cohort that needs investigating or subject area that needs investigating?

 What are we asking them to look at ?

Critique and evaluate is coming up lower across NZ

CPPA Conference - Leading the Complexities of Change

Richard Gerver Ted Talks  - Finding A Higher Sense of Purpose A generation seeking the silver bullet.   No helping the mental health of our young teachers.  There is no silver bullet. AI.  Teaching young people to think critically to edit, and craft using AI.    Clever prompts and crafting/editing. Eric Schmit - CEO of Google (10 years). The greatest challenge I faced was our success.   When you have nothing to lose, you go at everything.  The more successful we became, the more we have to lose, the more protective we became. VISION Remind your people that they are brilliant and galvanise around our vision.
