NZAI Assessment Conference 2023
Online presentations are now on our website!
Our annual National Assessment Conference was in April, a kanohi ki te kanohi conference at Ormiston Junior College in Auckland and the second day online.
The theme of the conference was: How do we know they are learning?
The scope and range of the keynotes and workshops were outstanding.
Now you can find all online presentations here on our website. Dive in, they’re worth your time!

*** NZAI National Conference 2021 – Presentations are now on our website ***
Our virtual conference at the beginning of October was a great success, despite our initial nervousness about using an online platform for the first time.
Assessment to Improve Learning: Principles, Practices and Proof across the System
We’re extremely grateful to our first class line-up of keynote speakers and workshop presenters who all offered opportunities to broaden and deepen our collective knowledge and understanding of assessment at all tiers of the education system. They have now given us permission to publish their presentations on our website.
You can find the presentations here.
We encourage you to go back to our publication, Assessment to Improve Learning: Principles, practices and proof, distributed to all schools at the end of Term 1 2021. You’ll be able to make connections with the themes of the conference, and see how the publication can assist you to review the assessment practices in your education setting.
