The Assessment Resources Maps are a resource for schools and teachers to help select the most appropriate assessment tool to suit their particular purposes. They illustrate the year levels and/or curriculum levels each tool is fit for and the most frequently used tools in New Zealand schools for reading, writing and mathematics.
Schools and teachers can select a range of formal and informal assessment methods to use in their day to day teaching programmes and when making overall teacher judgements (OTJs) of students' progress and achievement in relation to National Standards. The Assessment Resources Maps describe a range of assessment tools that could be used for this purpose.
Note that:
- inclusion of a tool does not indicate endorsement by the Ministry of Education
- the maps should be read in combination with the Assessment Tool Selector in order to determine whether a tool is fit for purpose
- the maps are not intended to limit a school's choice of tools.
