Tē tōia, tē haumatia
Nothing can be achieved without a plan, workforce and a way of doing
things
This whakatauki speaks to the importance of having a ‘plan of attack’. It could be used
to guide conversation or lead a discussion in the planning of an event or community
initiative.

Information for Staff
1. Information from the latest NZQA circular re Derived Grade Examinations
Management of school practice exams
The schools’ practice examination papers
and procedures should ensure:
·
authentic,
standard specific evidence covering all the criteria of the standard is
collected
·
the
grades submitted are consistent with the standard by being subject to a quality assurance process including:
o
critiquing
of the assessment task
o a marking process involving a
verification or justification process.
Derived Grade Self Review Tool
NZQA has
developed a Derived Grade Self-Review Tool that schools may like to use to review
their processes. The Tool can be used either before or after your school’s
practice examinations by Heads of Department or the Principal’s Nominee.
The tool provides the opportunity to
check that derived
grade processes ensure credible grades are reported to NZQA so that the
transfer of derived grade application information and grade data to NZQA is
accurate and complete communication
processes support clear understanding of the derived grade process and
eligibility criteria.
2. Advice from Marcus Akuhata-Brown:
A question and analogy to think about that was posed by Marcus - How does our school environment allow young Māori to thrive rather than just survive. Are our students being conditioned by an environment that we have created? Is success just compliance?
Marcus talks about the analogy around the "Glass lid of low expectations", linked to the flea experiment, where if you place a glass lid on a jar, after a few days fleas will only jump to the level set.
Something to think about for our learners.......
