Kei Tua o te Pae
Kei Tua o te Pae/Assessment for Learning: Early Childhood Exemplars is a best-practice guide that will help teachers continue to improve the quality of their teaching.
The exemplars are a series of books that will help teachers to understand and strengthen children's learning. It also shows how children, parents and whānau can contribute to this assessment and ongoing learning.
We are making improvements to our download-to-print functionality. So if you want a printed copy there are PDF versions available at the bottom of the main cover page.
Reflective questions – He pātai hei whakaaro iho
- How do our documented assessments contribute to the transition of children, families, and whānau into, within, or beyond the early childhood setting?
- How do our assessments reflect the children’s sense of belonging to this place?
- How do we ensure that the family or whānau voices are reflected in the children’s assessment portfolios and contribute to the curriculum?
- Is the learning in relation to routines, customs, rituals, and regular events visible in our documented assessments?
- What examples do we have of discussions about rights, responsibilities, and fairness being documented and revisited? If this is a gap, why is this, and how might we contribute more of these?
- Do our assessments include developing knowledge about features of the area that are of physical and/or spiritual significance to the local community? How can we ensure that children, families, whānau, and teachers revisit this aspect of the curriculum?
