The focus of the workshop is on Principle Two of the NZAI publication – Assessment Principles, Practices and Proof. Principle Two is Assessment builds agency. The workshop explores ways in which we can build on the strengths of our students; how they think about their learning, where they are at and how they know. Stories are shared of how other teachers have built partnership in assessment as well as the mana and connectedness of the students.
Joanne Moy, a member of the Evaluation Associates facilitation team, has worked with tumuaki and kaiako over the last seven years supporting them to grow learner agency through assessment for learning, particularly self-assessment.
Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi engari he toa takitini. I come not with my own strengths but bring with me the gifts, talents and strengths of my family, tribe and ancestors as well as tumuaki and kaiako.
