Te Ara Tuhura Toolkit Session - E-AsTTle

Writing test - this is a cold test. No help - 5 minutes to describe the test and jot notes but when writing begins, it needs to be rubbed off.

Images as prompts - have them printed in colour and have it up on the data projector. We want to give the children the best chance when they are writing.

When marking writing tests - the R stands for Rubric. e.g. R1, R2, R3...

To move a child from R3 - R4 for organisation - if they have a paragraphs.

Using these rubrics as formative assessment for your teaching. E.g. organisation is poor so that is what I will focus on. Teach this for 6 weeks and then retest to see what next steps are again.

Feedback is important. Motivation and self-efficacy comes from your specific feedback and conferencing.

Individual Learning Pathway Interpretation Guide - Writing

Great tool for analysing student data. All colour coded with a graph. Shows where the national rating is (mean) and where they fall beside it. It also shows their strengths, what they have achieved, what they need to achieve and where their gaps lie. Beside each strength, gap etc the question number shows so that you can go back to the test to check how this data is shown.
You need to search under the student name to find this. Underneath the interpretation is a guide you can use to help you.
