Reporting

With the end of Term 2 came mid year reporting and there has been a format change in Lynmore School. The PACT tool is the central tool in making OTJs. If you are unfamiliar with what PaCT is please allow me to explain.

The PaCT has been designed to help teachers make dependable judgments on students’ progress and achievement.
The PaCT is more than an online tool:

• ›  It supports the New Zealand Curriculum. It prompts teachers to notice what students know and can do across the breadth of mathematics, reading and writing. It helps teachers to understand the learning progressions set by the Curriculum and amplified by National Standards.
  
• ›  It supports moderation. It moderates individual teacher expectations through the frameworks and illustrations. It provides a common framework for teachers to discuss their judgment decisions with one another.
  
• ›  It also supports assessment for learning. The breakdown of mathematics, reading and writing into aspects gives greater clarity about what to notice when making observations of students, in learning conversations and through set tasks.
