We unpacked writing samples to notice what is happening to their child. At Whānau day learners shared their writing success and ne

The tool measures the level of agency learners have to take ownership of their learning and make informed decision with the tools and strategies they use.  The survey will provide us with detail so we can evaluate the progress over time and the shifts we need to make.
