Understanding Year 7-10 Standardised Testing: asTTle, PAT, and Entrance Assessments

DESCRIPTION

This guide explores the importance of standardised testing for students in Years 7 to 10, including asTTle and PAT assessments. These norm-referenced tests, based on the NZ curriculum, help determine students’ achievements by comparing them with peers nationwide. The results identify high achievers for acceleration as well as those needing extra support, ensuring targeted learning pathways. The guide discusses adaptive assessments, reporting tools, and parent involvement, providing a comprehensive overview of student performance and next steps in English and mathematics.

  3. asTTle • Assessment Tools for Teaching and Learning • Online reading and numeracy - e-asTTle • Adaptive assessments • As student gets questions right the test gets harder, if they make mistakes the test get easier • Ideally - half right and half wrong • Instant learning pathway report • Score and a curriculum level broken down by sub-levels Basic, Proficient and Advanced

  4. asTTle done regularly • Progress, level and evidence for reporting • What has been learnt – Achieved • What has been learnt well - Strengths • What has not been learnt - Gaps • What needs to be taught next – To be achieved • Results are in the organiserand the e-portfolio • View online with unique username and the password (stdoms12) • https://e-asttle.education.govt.nz/StudentWeb/login.faces

  9. Combining all results • Overall picture of the student’s ability • Teachers can target their needs • Extend and accelerate learning • Consolidate and support learning • Ensure students on track for the future goal • Combined with classroom assessment and observation will give accurate reporting and feedback to parents • Parents can help support and focus student’s learning from home
