It is interesting that the Nat Testing concept has been postponed.Guess I am not surprised after attending the seminars. The pushers & movers of this debacle have not got their nuts & bolts screwed in.<br />Thnk god we can concentrate on making the new curriculum something that will be sustainable & purposeful for the future.<br />The release time concept is a good one.. will reflect on this.

Funny we are not hearing this moaning from the low decile schools either (- and if we are honest there is no prize for guessing who will be looking worst if results do get published) coz in schooling improvement we've been doing our testing in the same week and moderating across the cluster for a number of years.<br />Anything rushed through is bound to have some flaws, but there are better ways to spend money than endless committee meetings for the next few years.<br />I reckon the primary schools should have learned from NCEA and concentrate on agitating for some extra release time to go with this. From our cluster experience we know that the moderating of results takes time and some more CRT to allow this would be great.<br />How was the movie? And the sports day too....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16486794203463798461noreply@blogger.com
