New Zealand is a relatively high
performing country according to international assessments.
It has transited the journey to develop a strong student
assessment system. This paper describes this journey,
highlighting drivers that helped shaped the assessment
system, and drawing lessons for other countries aiming to
undertake this journey. This case study shows that New
Zealand revamped its assessment system in the context of
broader education and curricular reforms. A new vision of
assessment for learning was realized in national
large scale assessment, secondary school examinations, and
classroom assessment activities. Key drivers that allowed
these reforms to take place were strong leadership at all
levels of the education system, clear vision and
agreed upon principles, stakeholders who were assessment
literate, and regulations that gave discretion to the
schools to self monitor their performance. |
