NCEA often excludes students identities, cultures and aspirations from the assessment process; M ori are insufficiently supported to achieve success as M ori Coherence Shift towards a focus on ensuring every young person has the range of capabilities, knowledge and skills needed to thrive, reflected in authentic assessment. NCEA drives a focus on the most important learning in each discipline. NCEA often breaks up learning making it hard to identify and connect up the most important learning. Pathways Shift towards students being empowered to take good pathways supported by schools, wh nau and the community, with relevant and personalised support for the pathways chosen Diverse, quality pathways are available in every school and well supported; harmful practices like undervaluing vocational learning or streaming are removed. Some young people particularly M ori and Pacific students, disabled students and those on vocational paths are denied access to empowering pathways to succeed in life. Credibility Shifting the balance towards clear, simple decisions and information, so that students, wh nau and the community understand and have confidence in the skills, knowledge and capabilities including in literacy and numeracy that an NCEA signifies. Everyone understands NCEA, and has confidence what it signifies about a student s education and readiness to success in work, study and life.

Subject Expert Groups The Review of Achievement Standards is a comprehensive sector-led co-design process Subject expert groups (SEGs) have been formed for each NCEA subject. The SEGs are comprised of significant expertise and experience SEGs will develop the RAS assessment package for each subject SEG work involves deep curriculum discussion at various stages throughout the year Feedback points have been looped into the process In school user testing will also provide important feedback opportunities
The Plan Phase One Phase Two Phase Three Solely concerned with the teaching and learning of the subject. In phase 1 the Subject Expert Groups develop a Learning Matrix which includes the subject Big Ideas and the Significant Learning which is considered too important to miss. The SEGs also produce an Assessment Matrix which represents a snapshot of their thinking regarding assessment for their subject at level 1. Concerns the assessment which samples the significant learning from phase one. The SEGs begin by refining the Achievement Standards then decide upon the modes and forms of assessment. Provisional assessment specifications are written for the externals.
