The Ministry of Education is about to begin the review of all achievement standards and assessment resources.
We will be testing the process from October to December this year with English, visual arts, religious studies and Level 1 science. This will give us an opportunity to fine tune our approach before the full-scale review in 2020.
We need people to join subject expert groups for these early-start subjects now, and are seeking expressions of interest.
