Update on Trial & Pilots

Update on Trial & Pilots - Phase 2

T&P sector feedback response from Subject Expert Groups on Phase 2 products

The Ministry of Education has collated all feedback on the draft Trial & Pilots Achievement Standards and associated support materials for NCEA Level 1 English, Visual Arts and Religious Studies.

Public feedback was sought on the following draft materials:

Four Achievement Standards – two internal and two external
Three assessment activities for each internal achievement standard
Assessment Schedules
Conditions of Assessment
Teacher guidance documents

The feedback has been shared with the Trial & Pilots SEGs and has helped us to identify areas that need clarification before we pilot these products in 2021, with a small number of schools, and in 2022 with a larger number of schools.

We are working with NZQA to develop specifications for external assessments. NZQA will publish these in time for mini-pilot schools to prepare their teaching and learning programmes for next year.

Each SEG has prepared a report in response to the feedback. The reports can be found here:
