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.

- In what ways do our mathematics assessments and their contexts indicate that we are on the pathway towards bicultural practice?
- How do teachers include in their assessments the mathematics practices the children are experiencing outside the centre?
- What opportunities do children have for participating in mathematics learning through the routines and practices of maintaining our centre? Is this view of mathematics represented in our assessments?
- Do our assessments reflect the contexts and opportunities included in the “te kākano” metaphor?
