PAT Assessment Data


This week, was the first week of PAT Assessment. This week, I got the students to work through the PAT Maths Assessment. I was nervous about the outcome of the data, as opposed to the first test taken at the start of the year. As I reflect on the data given from Term 1 and Term 3. I am impressed with the achievement outcome of most of my students. I was, however, disappointed about the data that showed students who stayed the same, or slipped backwards. 

What Next?
- As there is another term left, i will use the current data to support students within the different mathematic strands to develop their understanding further.
- Identify groups or individuals who struggled in a particular strand. 

Wonderings
- Why did some students stay the same, or score below the previous data given?
- How am I going to prepare my year 8 students for High School, especially if they have made no improvement?

School Vision/Aspirations

As part of our call back day for Term 2, we worked in teams to gain further understanding of our current teaching practise and where we are heading as a school. The senior leadership team provided each team with a list of words that they had heard from teachers across the school in Term 1. This was an opportunity to identify and explain our understanding around why we do the things we do.
