Assessment & Aromatawai PLD Assessment & Aromatawai PLD

This PLD is open to all state or state-integrated schools, from primary through to secondary. It does not include teacher release funding. 

Schools and kura will be responsible for their own applications. Applications must be submitted through the Online PLD System (login link is above).

Prior to submitting an application, schools and kura should download and unpack the PDF versions of the rubrics to discuss as a leadership team or with staff (There are teacher and kaiako versions created to support this).

Applications must be submitted by a leader of the school or kura. It must include a completed School Leader Rubric for Assessment or a Tumuaki Rubric for Aromatawai.

These are capability-based rubrics that require schools and kura to reflect on their existing practices and pedagogies using a scaled rating system (From Emerging to Exceeding).

The rubrics serve two main purposes:

Reviewing applications
The overall score will be used by the Ministry of Education as part of the outcome for applications.

Tailoring Future Learning

The scores across the different focus areas of the rubrics can be used to notice strengths and areas for improvement. This can support leaders to determine the next steps for the growth of the school or kura.

• If the school or kura is unsuccessful in their application for this PLD, they can still use this information to determine their focus when engaging with guidance and support resources and other self-directed PLD materials.
