Supported by current research and the Ministry of Education’s “Assessment Position Paper Assessment”, St Mary’s School Tauranga is placing greater value on student voice in the Assessment and Reporting. Our assessment and reporting processes put the student at the centre whilst refining our teacher feedback and feedforward strategies to further develop our learning vision ‘ To develop Assessment Capable Students, Teachers, School Leaders and Parents’ in 2015.
In 2015, using each child’s personalised, Google SITE ePortfolio, each student from Year 1 to 6, will share their PROGRESS toward the criterion based National Standards in Reading Writing and Mathematics, collated in a digital Learning Story.
Access to Technology devices has allowed both students and their teachers to interact, co construct and create far richer narratives of a learners achievement and progress than any report card could replicate.
Students and their teachers can design the story of a child’s learning through a collection of learning artefacts, collate, archive and share rich authentic learning and assessments in real time with parents.
You will soon be able to access your children’s learning stories through a link on our website here {**************Add link to a Coming soon page!)
