NCEA Analysis Tool
Here's a gem from my colleagues working at Team Solutions in Auckland. Thanks to Kris Blewett for putting this one up on her Team Solutions regional wiki which has a lot of current and useful information for senior secondary teachers.

[| TECHNOLOGY NCEA Analysis.doc] for teaching and learning. Cheryl Harvey and Jennifer Glenn two of our experienced facilitators at TEAM Solutions have developed a resources to support secondary technology teachers as they consider NCEA evidence and implications for their classroom practice. It provides a model for looking at data through a different lens. This resource come from an analysis of examiners' reports, moderators reports and explanatory notes of the Achievement standards fro 2004 and 2005. This model can be updated and adapted according to the needs of an individual school. the framework of this analysis is: Literacy and Language; Thinking; Extension Features; Main Reasons for Failure; Special Dirrectives to Teachers and Vocabulary. The document also gives suggestions for using the analysis. Do access this and use it for your classes, in your department or accross departments. However please acknowledge the wonderful facilitators who have developed this resource.
